Our Forever Family

There has been a lot going on and blogging hasn’t been one of them.  I looked at my pictures on my phone and realized I have a lot to share and record!  So here is a little bit that has been happening this fall. Sometimes we make a drive through downtown Provo.  The old Tabernacle is being renovated due to the fire that damaged it so bad and will soon be the newest Provo Temple.  I am so excited about this!  David had his graduation ceremony here from BYU for Construction Management.  We also had our Stake Conference’s here when we lived in our house in Provo.  So we went enough to have this mean something special to us.  The pillars that were on top are sitting on the ground.  It’s been amazing to be able to experience so many temples being built around us!
