i love to see the temple


despite ahonui's classic crooked smile, this is my favorite picture of my family yet.  partly because i think i look pretty darn good, mostly because it has my favorite people in it, but also because it has a very special building behind us. 

today is thursday.  and since i missed the entire 2012 year, i also missed the month of november and the thanksgiving holiday.  i will make an attempt at "thankful thursdays" to help me to get back into the groove of blogging more often.  so today, i am expressing my gratitude, for the temple, obviously.

today is also brandon's day off, and we are going to ward temple night for our weekly date.  don't judge me, but i haven't been to the temple to do an actual session since...umm, sadly i can't remember.  i'm thinking it was in the vicinity of 2006.  so i'm looking at tonight's session as a big step in the right direction for brandon and myself, and my family.  i am excited and nervous.  because in a way, it feels like the first time for me again.

i am grateful for this opportunity.  i am thankful for the close proximity of this beautiful blessing in our community.  i'm glad that i don't need to travel for hours and on airplanes to get there, that i can simply walk down the street if i wanted.  i'm so happy that brandon will be there with me tonight.  and i'm eternally grateful that the temple allows us to be together forever.
