For over two years now, we have been watching the building and progress of our own temple being built! Two summers ago, we went to the groundbreaking, and Spencer stood in line and was honored to shovel some of the first dirt. Since then, we have driven up to the top of the hill every now and then to see what had been built and added since the last time. We even were able to go and watch as a huge crane lifted the angel Moroni onto the top. And finally, last Monday, we were able to go together as a family to the temple open house...something we've been looking forward to for a long time! The kids were so excited, and it really was neat to be in there together, and take a tour of all the beautiful rooms. There is some beautiful artwork inside, including some paintings with the Grand Tetons. What a great spirit the temple has brought to our town, and what a wonderful beacon of light as we look up on that hill.
