Yo VIP, Let's Kick It

Shoot me for quoting Vanilla Ice, especially in connection with the Temple.

On Friday night Annie and I had our shift to help out at the open house for the Sacramento Temple. It was the last night of the VIP tours, just before the open house officially opened to the public. We had a really fun time.

It was a slower night, and since Annie and I were working the host center, we got to see a lot of the workings of how it is all organized, and eat a lot of the food (which was fantastic). I must say, we were both thrilled at how beautiful the Temple looks. The building itself is gorgeous, and I love how they incorporated the hills and oaks.

When you first drive up, even before you get off of Highway 50, you get to see the 11' Angel Moroni statue. We both got goosebumps. The rest of our five hour shift was spent cleaning up, serving people, and sneaking off to get glimpses of different parts of the property (don't judge us!).

We can't wait to go their with our daughters, with our friends, and with our family. So much to see and talk about!

The Sactown Temple does look pretty tight. I am totally looking forward to seeing it on the ninth! Was it crowded at all?

According to what I've heard, it will be Fridays and Saturdays will be the busiest. The ninth (wednesday) should be fine.

Before you say another word, Javert, before you chain me up like a slave again,listen to me! There is something I must do. This woman leaves behind a suffering child. There is none but me who can intercede. In mercy's name, three days are all I need! Then I'll return, I pledge my word. Then I'll return ...
