I love to see the temple...
Living in New York, and even Denver, I have realized how much the temples really mean to me.
When living in Utah, I definitely took the sacred visits for granted. There is a hill in Orem, just a mile away from where Anthony lived during our first 3 years of marriage, where we could go sit and we could see the Provo Temple and the Mount Timpanogos Temple at the same time. I miss that spot more than anything. We used to go to the temple every month, and now we are lucky to go once a year... MAYBE.
We visited the Denver Temple yesterday. We couldn't go in because it was closed for cleaning, plus we had Amelia, but just being on the grounds gives a piece of heaven. Away from the day to day, away from the world. And we need that. Life can be a drag, lets be honest. It is nice to know that we have somewhere to go to get away from it all and focus one what truly matters.
I am so grateful that I was sealed to Anthony. I don't know where I would be if I hadn't made the decision and the promise to myself to get married in the temple. I know I wouldn't be as happy as I am now and I truly think that it is because of the covenants and promises we have made. Being sealed is the most important thing I have ever done, and probably will continue to be throughout my life.
I saw this video on YouTube and it really made me think... It's worth the wait.
I hope you like it.
