Temple Trip!!!

So all of this job stuff has been super confusing and crazy. Each day that passes seems to leave me a little more frazzled. While praying, I felt directed to go to the temple. I kind of started to laugh. "Why didn't I think of that before?" So I went. The Atlanta Temple is closed for remodeling. It's only 1.5 hours away. That leaves the good people of Georgia looking elsewhere for temple trips. The next nearest one for us is the Birmingham, AL temple. It's a good 3 hour drive one-way.

But it was worth it! Every bit of it. The drive up took a little because I had to catch an evening session. I got some traffic when I actually hit Birmingham. And the drive back was totally insane! There was fog everywhere. I thought I had seen fog while living in CO. It got pretty bad on parts of my bus route. It got that thick out here, but it lasted forever!!! Wowzers! I had no clue that an entire state could be covered in fog. There was fog the instant I left the temple until I got home. It was totally insanely beautiful. And a little scary at moments... lol

The Birmingham Temple is different. It's the smallest temple I've ever seen. It shares a parking lot with one of our meeting houses. It's schedule is ever so confusing. Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays there are only two evening sessions. Wednesdays have three days sessions, and Saturdays have around 4 day sessions. It's so very confusing. Oh, and it's got to be the prettiest temple ever! Oh, I've never seen such a gorgeous temple. Every bit of it screamed in simple elegance.

This trip was so worth it. I'm sure I'm rambling way too much. But it was a marvelous trip. I'm still all stressed about work, but I feel stronger and more able to face whatever may come my way.

So here's a fabulous night picture after I got out.

And here's the side. I thought the tree with the windows was cool looking.

Here's a really neat hill on the side of the temple. When spring and summer are here, it'll be nice to come early to sit on the hill and do some scripture study.
Angel Moroni, of course. Can't have temple pictures without him. Lol

And a sunset pic. Thanks for reading my long blog! Have a great blessed day!!!
