The new temple

Everyone is so excited about the new Gilbert temple opening near our home. After many years of watching it be built we can finally go in! Tyler and I have taken the opportunity to take some cleaning shifts and it has been such a treat! It is more beautiful inside than anyone can imagine. I love the cream, light blue and sage color scheme and the agave/desert theme. The 18 foot glass chandelier is breathtaking and the craftsmanship of the wood and quality of the materials… its the nicest building I've ever been in.  Which is fitting for a house of the Lord.

We took our kids through on a tour the other night. They loved it and of course imagine getting married here someday. I hope they do! It was 9pm by the time we got back to the parking lot for pictures. Everyone was pretty tired but you can see by the smiles on their faces that they loved being there. We are so blessed to be an eternal family and lucky to have this beautiful reminder of our Heavenly Father so close that we drive by it often.

This is our family's temple.
