The Kansas City Temple has finally broke ground--Yeah!! Micah and I were able to take the older girls to the Ground Breaking Ceremony, a new experience for all of us. It was a beautiful morning(but FREEZING!!!) and the spirit was so strong. When the ceremony ended, Elder Rasband said that he had attended another ground breaking ceremony with President Hinckley who offered for the attendees to come up and dig a shovel in. Elder Rasband then replied, "If it's good enough for Pres. Hinckley, than it's good enough for me!" I was SO excited (much to my children's dismay) and I dragged my freezing family up for a few memorable photos. (Funny how once Malia got started digging, we couldn't get her away!) We are so excited for what this means for us as a family, community, and church and look forward to watching it come to fruition over the next 2 years. How fun to say that we got to be part of this amazing experience!!

I am so trying not to be jealous. I check on the building status of this temple often, and your blog is the most updated I've heard. We seriously contemplate making KC home again post-military... especially because of the new temple. Here's to hoping, right? Miss you guys.
That's so exciting you guys!! Sure love you all and miss you!
Wow, what an amazing spiritual experience for all of you, especially Madi and Malia. Hopefully they will remember it down the road (that's what journals are for, right?) I can't wait for it to be finished for you guys and then I will get to go to the Temple with you when visiting Kansas City. Love you guys!!
