Rexburg Trip

We went back up to Rexburg with Grandma Cindy and Matt this weekend to attend the open house for the new temple there. Here are a few things we learned along the way:

1.) If your car ever breaks down in Malad, ID; your best option and only hope for repair is Albert's Service Shop on Main St. Albert was very friendly and helpful.

2.) We've always liked our Hyundai Elantra, but the rental car we got when the van broke down was a brand new Sonata. I now want one for my birthday:

3.) When daddy is in charge, he lets Rachel eat cookies for breakfast:


4.) The Rexburg Temple is one of the most beautiful that we have ever seen. It was wonderful to be in the celestial room with our whole little family together:

5.) We've come a long way baby! This is the apartment where it all started. We lived in #14 for four months just after we were married. It isn't possible to convey in a picture how small it actually was:

6.) Always wear your seatbelt!!! As we were leaving, an SUV just in front of us lost control on the ice, went off the road and rolled several times, landing upside-down. All were wearing their seatbelts and after we dug away enough snow for them to escape through the windows, they all walked away with only a few cuts and scrapes.
