Guess I'll Get My Wish...

When we were in Europe this summer we saw a ton of incredible things.  We saw so many beautiful churches, basilicas-even the Vatican.  When we were in Rome we went to the Trevi Fountain, where it is custom to throw a coin in the water and make three wishes. The first is to return to Rome one day, the second and third are what ever you choose.  Well, listening to Conference this weekend I was more than excited to hear that they were building more temples around the world, and I just about flipped when I heard they were putting one in Rome!!!
Now I have even more reason to make that wish come true!  That country is so beautiful and to think how special it will be to have a Temple in the midst of such great landmarks like The Colosseum, Circus Maximus, the Vatican, St Paul's Basilica, oh- the list doesn't end.  I feel like we saw so much in the short time we were in Rome and Rusty and I will go back there someday, and spend time seeing all the things we missed.  Now I will have one more thing to add to that To Do list! 
This is the land where the Temple is supposed to be built!  I can't wait to follow its progress as it is built.  Guess I need to start saving up those frequent flier miles... Any one want to come do a session with us when we go?

Very exciting! We are so blessed to live in this time with so many temples are being built:) I would definately be going back too.

On a side note, I don't know if you ski Sunrise but they have a deal this weekend for going up there and getting a kids season pass for about $30...thought you might enjoy it:)
