Houston and Dallas Temples.

 

My blog posts may somewhat be out of sequence but wanted to share a few photos from some of our temple trips. First of all, I can't believe we are already at the end of July! How did we get from June to July in five minutes!! Anyway, the last time I went to Dallas was when I was about six. I've driven through Dallas but have never been Downtown or to the temple. So surprising my dear friend Maggie who lives there was fun and we ended up spending the morning with her. We went to the temple and captured some photos of it's beauty as well as my family. I have missed her and am so glad she is doing well. Both the Dallas and Houston temples are beautiful and I'm so glad we got to stop by both of them. Maybe next time I can spend more time in Dallas and the Houston areas but spending half the day with my friend and taking photos of my kids to remember these days is all that I needed to refresh and get a boost for this trip!

The Houston Texas Temple.

On our way back from seeing my mom in Corpus Christi we timed it perfectly to stop by the Houston Temple. I have never been to this temple, and was soooo excited that we made it here. It is my favorite temple in Texas. I've seen all the temples in Texas in person and so far Houston is at the top of my list. All temples are beautiful and bring light in their own way, but there was something about the Houston temple that shined a light so bright on me that day. Maybe it's because we stopped in when I needed it the most. Maybe it's because the exterior of the building is as white as snow. Whatever the reason was the peace I felt on the temple grounds was so real. I felt so much peace and felt as if I was in another world. So grateful it was in our path as we were in route back home to Jersey, and that the kids also enjoyed it as much as we did.
