To me, there is so much beauty in religion: people striving to connect with God. I think it is interesting that once we find a religion that we cherish and…
We’ve been doing a lot of gift-buying and scurrying around around here, and so I just think I really needed to watch this today. …And to remember that HE is…
Right now our neighborhood is golden. I have to stop to bask in it every time I drive in. For real. Every time. It takes my breath away. Mother nature…
(Part one is here.) Once upon a time in a land smack-dab in the middle of the desert it was announced that a temple would be built. The people in…
I think there is so much beauty in memorization. And having to perform what you memorized in front of someone else. Growing up we memorized quotes, poems or scriptures every…

That went up so fast it seems! What a beautiful place of worship and wonderful memories for your children.
How funny. My post was also entitled "Once upon a time" today.
Great post!
Beautiful temple! Amazing it is almost done. We are still waiting for even the ground to be broken on our dear Philadelphia temple. We'll keep on praying!
I loved the way you worded this post.
My sis in law called me while her and her two kids sat and watched the Angel Moroni be placed on top. It is really to hear you were their too. I love the photos you took.
Reminds me of the Calgary Temple getting their Angel Moroni on top not to many months ago.
Love your story-telling. Such a blessing to be a part of a new temple.
I was there too with my baby girl who is only a year old. She was not thrilled to be out in the hot sun and was not very appreciative of the amazing historical moment she was witnessing. But one day I will tell her about it and show her the pictures and I hope that she will always see that temple as her temple. SO special!
I still remember the day that the angel Moroni went up on the Raleigh temple…
My husband and i went to the park right next to the temple and just sat and stared at it in wonder. its beautiful! and thank you for sharing, because we are never in that part of town and even though i missed the actual event i feel like i was there!
We just dedicated our new temple in Kansas City and we are so thrilled to have it here. We don't have to make the 4 hour trip to St. Louis anymore. What a blessing temples are in our life! I'm so glad you are getting one close to you.
Your first "Once upon a time" post inspired me to do the same thing here in Kansas City for our temple.
It was dedicated last month. Now I love seeing all the photos from the ground breaking to the dedication – and we even added a baby to the family along the way!
We were there too! It was such a neat thing to see. My little boy gets sooooo excited now every time we drive by or he thinks about it.
Lovely event. My son and I were able to go there and get some pictures about an hour after the statue was installed. It was still wonderful to see. Looking forward to the completion!
I recently heard that Mormon temples are open to public viewing before being dedicated. Is this true? If so, I would love to come and see such a beautiful place.
Beautiful! THAT is a date she will never forget!
When the angel Moroni was placed at the Portland temple I was a young teenager…it was a magical moment. Be sure this moment will be one your daughter won't soon forget.
I love the testimony on the rocks. I didn't know they did that. A temple truly built on the faith of others.
