This temple is going to be my new one once it is up and running.

 

My kids are gearing up to be part of the cultural celebration on the Saturday before, and pretty much everyone is being asked to help out with the open house in one form or another.

As an interesting look back, here are some of the news headlines the Society for the Prevention of Anti-Mormonism tracked in 2008 when the temple site was first announced.  It's interesting to study the methods the critics of the Church use to try to block temple construction using zoning boards.  Spire height, traffic, and parking lot size are usually the targets for them to try to delay or stop construction.

 Us too!  My daughter will be one of the dancers.  We're going to the Open House this Monday.  Very excited!
