Temples are a very important part of my church. We are encouraged to attend the temple often to serve and to worship. I have always lived close to one until now. The closest one is in Nebraska about 3 1/2 hours away. BUT...this past weekend there has been 5 new temples announced to be built. One of those will serve the people of the greater Kansas City area. How exciting is that!! And the timing could not be more perfect! According to the church website, the "site will be in Clay County, Missouri, on residential land within the Kansas City limits that is already being developed by the Church." With our calculations this is about 2 to 2 1/2 hours away which will shave an hour of travel time both ways. Woo hoo! Hopefully it will be completed in the time that we will be living here!

How exciting!!! We are in the middle of 3 temples: Nauvoo, Chicago, and Minniapolis. When we lived in Des Moines our temple was winter quarters too! That's where Ryan proposed to me. Suzanne also has been to that temple. She used to live in Omaha, but I'm not sure if she still does or not.
Did you know that Cade means "round or lumpy?" Sorry, that was random. But you have a lumpy kid :]
