Ogden Temple

We just heard the news this morning about the face lift the Ogden Temple is going to be getting. How exciting is that? And yea! It should be all done before Kurtis and I come home. Renovations may begin toward the end of the year and they are planning on 18-24 months for construction. We'll be home in 29 months - in case you lost track or try not to count down... (because it tends to make you want to cry) :)

We ReaLLy miss having a temple 5 minutes away from home, and miss being able to go often. Enjoy it while you have it. Right now it takes us 5+ hours and 300 miles round trip to get to our temple - The Columbus, Ohio Temple. (Check out our route). The Louisville, Kentucky Temple is just a bit further than that. But the Saints here sure are faithful about going. They are happy they have a temple that close.

Factoid: Did you know that the Ogden Temple was the first to be dedicated after Utah was officially a state?
