So Gavin and I both had today (Saturday) off which is nice since work has slowed down having the holidays over. We have been tired of our weekends being full of cleaning, shopping and homework so we decided to take a little trip. We decided to go to the temple! For the people back at home you might think... no big deal 20 min. drive tops, right? Well our assignmed temple is the Spokane, Washington Temple which is a 3 hour and 30 min drive!!
Sounds like a big sacrifice, which it might have been but we needed it so bad. We have been so blessed lately, yet are in need of a few things. We weren't sure if we were going to make it safely since we had ice rain last night and our car along with the road was a sheet of ice, but we figured we would make it safe. After hitting some major ice, snow storms and fog, we finally made it safe... almost 2 hours early. We totally spaced the whole time change. So we toured Spokane. The only temples I have been to out of state are the L.A. temple and the Portland, OR temple which are both huge. The one in Spokane is so small but it didnt matter, it served it's purpose and it was an amazing experience.
After our session we went and grabbed some grub at Boston's. We have made some great memories at the one in Utah, so we felt at home there.
The drive home was really nice. I decided I love Cour'd Alene and I would move there anyday. The roads were clear and dried up and the sun was out. It was such a beautiful drive home, but these pictures dont do it justice.
Gavin received a new calling as the young men's 1st couselor and is excited to start and get to know the presidency better. And I'm with the primary 8 yr. olds still, and I love it!
