So on Saturday, Jeff and I went to Omaha Nebraska to the Winter Quarters Temple. It has been something like two years since we had last been to the Temple. It is so hard to get away when you have young children at home, especially when you have a high needs situation. I am so grateful for Jeff's parents because they take the kids and care for them while we are gone, and we know that they are in good hands, and can handle situations that may come up unexpectedly.
So, our trip was a Branch Temple trip that we shared with only one other family (a father and daughter and her non member boyfriend). We drove there separately but had lunch together and did baptisms at the temple. It was a nice trip. The drive is about 3 hours to get to the Temple, so we had at least 6 hours drive time, and I tell you, I missed those kids, but when we got back to Grandma's, the kids (especially Madison) could care less that we were there! WHAT A HEART BREAK!!! :O) Oh well. I still know she loves me, she just felt comfortable at Grammies. LOL!
This is the back of the WQ Temple. It is from the cemetery that is behind there, and you can see one of the headstones of a pioneer there in the foreground.
The Angle Moroni statue on the top of the steeple on the Temple.
Back behind the temple on temple grounds is a cemetery of many pioneers that were buried while on the trek west. There is a monument there with this very large statue of a pioneer couple. The grounds there are just glorious even in the snow! We had a good time and it was very nice to spend some time alone with my sweet husband away from home for once!
