Im going there someday SOON!!

The the thing I am most excited about is going to the temple with Gav and seeing him as we are sealed for eternity. this is my biggest dream come true. I have decided to recieve my endowments at the Bountiful Temple! I have always thought this temple was particularly beautiful especially when you are driving through Bountiful at night and you see is shining SO bright up on the mountain side.


This temple also means a lot to Gavin and I because Bountiful is basically almost half way between salt lake and north ogden... with a little more effort on his part, love you gav :)... but we would go and hang out on the grounds and talk and it was so great to see how important the temples were to him too. One of our favorite dates that we went on was at the Ogden temple. We went and got some ice cream and we went and sat on the grounds and talked about life and the church. I am so lucky to be marrying someone who sees how important the church is.
Next we have decided to get married in the Salt Lake City temple. My parents and sister have all been married in this temple, and it is so beautiful and have heard such great things about the inside. I can't wait to take such a big step in my journey to exaltation with my new husband!

I forget how lucky we are in utah having so many temples so close to us. The closest one to me in ventura is the LA temple which is about an hour away. However, it is SO beautiful! It is huge and the grounds are really cool to be so close to the world yet you feel so far away when you are there. I have spent a good amount of time in that temple and it has helped me learn so much about the temples and how important and sacred they are.
One temple that I cannot wait to go in is the San Diego temple. It so SOOO beautiful, and the great thing is, is that I will be able to go with GAVIN, I love him so much and he is my best friend.

There's no better feeling than kneeling at the alter across from the one you love the most and knowing you're going to be sealed to him forever! Congrats Tawnya! Have you set a date yet?
