i LOVE going to the temple, especially doing temple work.
brett and i went so many times when we were first married.
but i haven't been to the temple since i got pregnant and it was due to the usual pregger excuses, i.e. too big, too barfy and too fainty.
now that the bun is out of the oven i REALLY wanted to go back to the temple.
it's been really hard though because everton is a breastfed baby and he is still really little and doesn't like to left with strangers right now.but today we overcame all that.
we went to salt lake, i fed everton in a parking garage RIGHT before i went in, brett watched over everton, a session is about 2 hours, and i came out and fed everton RIGHT after.
as much as i would've loved to have gone in with brett it just felt SOO good going again. going to the temple always puts me in a better mood and makes me feel like i'm doing a great service for someone.
as of right now i think brett and i will just take turns taking care of everton till he's a little bit bigger, is on formula, and can leave him with someone then i'll somewhat be a freer woman.
i do miss how close we were to a temple in rexburg (which is one of like, two things i miss about that place) but being about 40 mins away from the salt lake temple isn't that bad at all.
go to the temple often!
continue doing family history work!
DO IT ALYSSA!
It's great that you went. I know what you mean. I felt the same way after having Samuel, because it had been so long, you just feel this urge to be there.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you realized now that it's OK to go on your own. For some couples that doesn't become a realization 'til much later.
It's great that you love the temple so much. Just a though... We live about 5 minutes away from the Oquirh temple. It's a bit of a drive from tooele, but you could come out here, leave Everton with us, both of you do a session, come back and get Everton, and we would probably throw in a meal or something... just a thought. We'd love to see you guys.
