Heaven on Earth

The other night as I was trying so hard to fall asleep I found myself decorating my house in my head, again.  This is what had kept me up the night before.  (Sometimes I think I should have gone into design instead of education).  To try to avoid another sleepless night I told myself to think of a white room.  Nothing but a blank white room.  As I was picturing just white, the celestial room of the Las Vegas temple popped into my head.
This is MY temple.  The Las Vegas, NV temple.

For nearly 13 years the Las Vegas temple has been my temple.  This temple holds many special memories.  Neal proposed to me here oh so many years ago.  Neal and I did our work here together a week before being sealed in the Salt Lake temple.  This is the place I have come to seek solace from the world.  I have spent hours just sitting in the celestial room pondering things, praying, pouring my heart and tears out to the Lord and feeling His love for me in return.  I am going to truly miss the Las Vegas temple and the thought that I may never enter through its doors again makes me a bit sad.

The Oquirrh Temple

This is  my new temple.  I'm positive that the same spirit I have felt time and time again in the Vegas temple will be present here.  I look forward to walking through these doors and feel the love of my Father there.
