Right after the baby shower, Duncan and I jetted up to Rexburg to visit Hannah and Andrew and to go to the Rexburg temple open house. Hannah, Duncan and I went to the open house at about 8:00 that evening, while Andrew stayed home with Madelyn. The tour started in a stake center next to the temple, where we watched a video about temples and then walked through a covered (and heated!) walkway into the temple. The Rexburg temple is lovely--so elegant and simple. We had to check our camera before going on the tour, and it was such a fast tour that we forgot to pick up our camera on the way out. We returned to the stake center the next day (Sunday) to see if we could retrieve the camera, but nobody seemed to know how to help us. We finally found a nice gentleman in the library who persevered with us long enough to search through some rooms and, just before giving up, we found it! So, we didn't get any pretty night shots of the temple, but we got some nice ones with all the snow. Rexburg was covered with it! We left Hannah and Andrew's at about 5:30 Sunday evening and made it home by 10:30. Not bad considering some of the road conditions. We always have such a fun time with Hannah and Andrew. Thanks, guys, for letting us come and for treating us so well!

I talked to Craig on Saturday and they were just getting back from the open house. They got last minute tickets. It would have been funny if you ran into them.
I too like that temple... at least from the pictures I have seen. I would love to visit Rexburg again. Thanks for sharing.
