Trip to Provo

Last week the kids were out of school on Thursday and Friday so we decided to make our first trek over to Provo to visit family.  The weather was beautiful and we had a great time with Preston and Mandy, Grammy and Grandpa, and the Matthew McKell family.

Fort Collins Temple

When we decided to move to Colorado a few months ago one of the definite selling points was that we were going to have a temple built in Fort Collins.  It was announced in April 2011.  A couple of weeks ago they released an artist rendering of what the temple will look like.  I might be a little biased, but I find it to be one of the prettier temples that I have seen.  I look forward to it being built and I hope it looks exactly like the photo below.
