Visiting Rexburg

Last weekend I returned to Rexburg, Idaho for the first time in 2 1/2 years! I haven't been back since I left school and went back to Florida and I have missed the small town and all my old friends and roommates. Luckily, I was able to see some of those roommates I haven't seen in sooo long! It was great to catch up and see all the changes around BYU-Idaho. They have changed TONS around campus!

Thanks to Shila and Alex for giving me a place to stay and for cooking us yummy yummy steaks! It was fun hanging out with Shila, Cara, Meagan and their hubby's, PLUS Cara's ADORABLE girls! I am sad I left before I was able to see Alesha but I'm not used to spending time away from Chad and two nights was long enough! I plan on not waiting 2 1/2 more years before seeing these girls again!

The best part of my Rexburg weekend was going to the Rexburg Temple! When I was still in Idaho I was able to go to the temple groundbreaking and see the construction almost to completion. I was also able to see them put Moroni on top but unfortunately I left right before the temple opening. I was able to go through a session and it was such a great and peaceful day! I love to see the temple! I am go grateful for the peace the Spirit brings me when I go to the temple. The Rexburg temple is GORGEOUS and I am so happy I could visit!

Obviously I didn't take this picture... but isn't it gorgeous?

P.S. I am TOTALLY fired as photographer of my own life because I never remember to take any pictures. I only took about two pictures while in Rexburg and didn't get any with Shila! I even have a really nice camera Chad got me... I really need to take more pictures!
