Temple Pictures

It has been a while since we have taken pictures at the Mount Timpanogos Temple. We have been to several temples in the last few years, but it has been about four years since we have taken pictures at "our" temple. We were going to go for Family Home Evening the day after Easter, but it was rainy, so we looked for the nicest night in the forecast and ended up going on Thursday. It was overcast, but the temple was gorgeous. There was a photographer there taking some of her own pictures and she graciously agreed to taking some pictures of the whole family.
I loved the way the spire stood out against the sky.
 This window is one of my most favorites. I love to look at it when I have time to sit in the chapel of the temple.

 We took our traditional "temple touching" photos as well.



The kids asked if Brian and I wanted individual shots. we opted for a picture together.
 We walked around the side to the back of the temple as well. Here is another of the windows that I love. This window is the one that is in the Celestial Room. The Celestial Room of the temple (any temple) is one of my favorite places on earth. I always feel an incredible feeling of peace, reverence and joy. And the Celestial Room at the Mount Timpanogos Temple will always be extra special because this temple has been such an important part of my life; it is where I received my own endowment and where Brian and I were sealed and I have had many experiences there where I have felt my Heavenly Father's love so strongly.


I loved that we could share this time as a family. Megan said, "It is so beautiful here." I have no doubt that she was referring not only to what she saw, but also how she felt.
