Fun In The Sun

This Sunday ended up being the Sunday to relax and explore Arizona a bit more then we have! We got to first enjoy the Gila Valley Temple dedication, it was such a blessing to be apart of something so special and sacred. We both enjoyed it and to celebrate we thought i would be perfect to go to a temple. The closest temple to us is the Mesa Arizona temple. It toke us about 15 minutes to get there and it was a wonderful afternoon. Here are some pictures! The Mesa Temple doesn't have an Angle Moroni on it, i had never seen a temple like that before so that was kinda exciting to see. It looks a lot like Solomon's temple or something like it. This was crazy! We found orange trees (even though they aren't orange) and grapefruit trees on the temple grounds, they were everywhere! I have never seen an orange tree before, it was awesome!

Oh by the way, we got hair cuts like the 3rd day we moved down here, my hair is so short! But i absolutely love it!

After we toured the whole temple grounds, we went to ASU and climbed the mountain that has their "A" on it. It was steep and high, but we made it to the top and laid on the rocks to watch the airplanes fly right past our head. The Phoenix airport is right by us, there are planes contently coming and going and very low to the ground. It was so entertaining!




We found our house while on the top of the mountain! This is our city, Tempe Arizona! We sure miss you all, but we are loving it here in the sun and having our own adventure!
