Rexburg Temple

If I had to pick two things out of my top five most important things to me would be my family and the gospel.  I was able to spend a day with my Dad and Step-Mom  at the Rexburg Temple today.  It is a beautiful temple and we had a great time.  It was WICKED cold though.  What happened to Fall?  Why did winter come first? 

So you might be wondering why I would choose to drive all the way to Rexburg for a day and come back.. I know the first thing that comes to your mind is that I am CRAZY! Well, we all know that already.  Well, it's kind of a funny story.  I decided a while back that I wanted to go to all the Temples in the US and I was talking to my Dad about it.  Well, he has always gone to a new temple if he was in the area but never made a trip specially for that... until NOW.  Well, If you know me I am competitive and I get it from my dad and so the game begins.  I was doing fairly well and then my dad went and sneaked ahead.  He has been to  45 temples and I am close behind at 41. So, when dad said that he was going to Montana and was stopping at the Rexburg Temple I couldn't let him go without me :) Plus I hadn't seen them in a month and its always a good time when we get together. :-D  Well, wish me luck... I KNOW I will WIN!!!
