Provo City Center Temple

Our main purpose in going to Utah was to go to the new Provo City Center Temple open house. This is the temple that was once the tabernacle until the tabernacle burned down a few years ago. Instead of just tearing down what was left and building a random building, the church decided to build a temple.

We had planned to go with Mike's mom, Stacey and Doug and also Mike's cousin Kaytie and her family. We got a wonderful surprise when Kaytie's husband Jared offered to let Daniel stay at there house during the open house so he could nap. Jared was staying home with their two youngest so Dan could just nap while they napped. It was perfect! It was so much more relaxing and made it so much easier to enjoy the spirit that is felt in the temple and it was better for Daniel too. Thank you so much Jared!









The temple is beautiful. It has a very vintage look to its interior. They did a beautiful job of creating something new but also paying tribute to the history of the building. It has a staircase that is beautiful and belongs in a castle. I felt like I should be walking around in a princess dress :) It is cozy since the halls are the size they always were so they are a bit more narrow than what we're used to. It was beautifully done though and you can feel the spirit as well as the history.
