Several years ago we drove by this temple but were not able to attend, and at that time both Kim and I remarked how beautiful it was. Seeing it up close today just confirmed our original thoughts.

During the session I was struck with the fact that no matter how beautiful the temple's physical attributes are, the real beauty lies in the way I feel while inside. The layout of this temple is quite different than any other I have visited, however once I entered I was immediately filled with the same feeling of peace that I have felt in every temple.

Breakfast: Who will you be thinking mostly about this Memorial Day? BJ obviously. I also am thinking about (and praying for) my friends who have also lost sons .

Only one Midnight Snack: What is one thing you hope to remembered for? I hope that I am remembered for making people laugh. Recipe of the Week (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for this week?) Recharging my batteries!
