"Temples Dot the..." Valley!

Day 21

Not only did I make it to the temple today (a much longed for visit in the 3 months that I've been denied the  opportunity or ability to go), but I also managed to

-have my Internet set up (yay!)
-obtain frames (for cheap!) to give the rest of my pictures a nicer look as they hang on the wall
-have pizza (mmmmm)
-have a quick chat with my dear (engaged!) friend
-buy a ticket for a wedding in April
-set up a hair appointment...in April
-budget and balance
-look at old books
-catch up on emails and such
-watch the first two episodes of the current season of Lark Rise!!!!
-do my first load of laundry in this new abode

There was more I could have done, but I was a little lazy in some of my goings-ons and goings-abouts.

The point is that I got all of those things done on the same day as I was able to go to the temple. It was a reminder over and over of how close I am to not just one temple, but several! Even with one closed for maintenance, I had 3 others to choose from that were within a half hour's drive. Not 3-4 hours one way. And all of the possibilities of being able to maybe return to attending the temple on a weekly basis just made my heart swell.

Yes--one absolutely, wonderfully joyous reason the Lord has brought me here!
