Dedication of our Brigham City Temple!!!


I honestly thought this day would never come.  On Septermber 23, 2012 our very own Brigham City Temple was dedicated.  It was done in 3 different sessions.  Everyone in our family except Brinley was able to go.  She was not old enough so she stayed at the Smith's with several other kids her age.  Kylee attended in St. George.  President Packer said the dedicatory prayer.  He barely made it through it.  He is really getting old and his health is failing.  But he promised at the groundbreaking that he would be here to dedicate it...and he was. It is so amazing to drive down Main Street and pass a temple.  It has made such a difference in the feel of this little town.  I knew we were choosing a great place to live all those years ago.

What a blessing to have a temple to close.  We can see it's lit up spires from our back yard.  I am hopeful that this will mean we will go there often!  I love the temple.  Humbling to think this could be the temple where my children will receive their endowments and be married.  Kylee and Emilee are saying they will choose this temple when that time comes.  We love it!!
