I love to see the Temple.

Jose and I got the chance to go to the Temple today with my brother Ben (not to be confused with Jose's brother Ben although Ben H. is brown and well my brother just wishes he was, he thinks he's a Mexican but that's for another blog.) and his wife Juli. I was such a huge blessing and just what I needed to kick start our year off right and boost my spirits.



I love the Temple and the spiritual confirmations you can recieve there. It is such a comfort to know that there is a heaven on earth, atleast I think that way about the Temple, and you can go there and even just sit outside it and feel the Spirit radiate of the outside.



It was interesting, as we walked outside to the front of the Temple there was a guy sitting on a bench reading his scriptures so we asked him to take a picture or two of us. As he sat back down I notice he went to grab his scriptures look up at us all and smile real big and give a little half laugh, (like the laughs you laugh when you think in your head "oh that's it") and it made me think about when I was living it Utah and I'd just go walk around Temple square and go visit the visitor's centers and just think about stuff that was going on in my head and receive small little answers. I felt as if that guy received some little answer like that when he laughed.

We went to Souper-Salad for lunch and ate too much even though it never seems like I get that much food. Then we went to walk it all off at IKEA. I have never been and if I was in a shopaholics anonymous group I would have been in BIG trouble. It's like a Toys R Us for shopaholics, but home stuff. I love home stuff.
