SLC. Code

Dealio0117

i saw that and freaked out because it was a three day weekend!! and Dillon had never been to Temple square before!! i thought about the weekend and what was planned, Friday was the concert and Saturday my roommates and i had plans to go to Idaho Falls to go on a little shopping trip ( and i really wanted to go and spend time with them) so i  considered just going Friday after classes the following week, and come back that Sunday, but it expired so if we wanted to make this trip work for this cheap we HAD to act now! (: so i texted my Irish twin Brittany Knudsen and planned out Monday and then BAM Dillon bought the tickets! it was scheduled we were to leave Rexburg on Sunday 4:30 pm and arrive in salt lake at 9:30 that same night!! 

haha i love traveling with this kid!! (: he is absolutely my favorite and i love love love him! he knows how to keep me company!! 

 my moms friend Payslie picked us up in Salt Lake and she was so sweet to let us stay the night at her house! (and for you moms that are freaking out, we slept in two different rooms... don't worry!)

TEMPLE TIME!!!!!!

 here are some BEAUTIFUL pictures of us! and the TEMPLE!! (thank you i phone cameras!)

The four of us walked around temple square, the Joseph Smith memorial, as well as the Beehive house and Lion house. 

here is the gang:

here is my favorite in the visitor center

this was an incredible trip and i am so grateful that we jumped on this opportunity!! it was super amazing!! 

and Dillon says "there aren't really words to describe it, it was almost unbelievable!"

now we are back at home... back to reality... back to schedules, but today (Thursday) we are headed to the REXBURG temple! i am soo excited!
