This is the place....SLC temple

Right after the marathon, we decided to go for a walk on temple square...can I just say I think I shoud have waited a day or so because my legs were ON FIRE! I felt bad because I really wanted to just go to the hotel and take a nap, and the sister missionaries REALLY wanted to give us a tour...I think they were bored! I finally had to throw in the towel and go rest a little bit, but we did have a nice time walking around for a little bit. It is always fun to go to temple square and see the temple, I just hope the next time we do it, my legs dont feel like jello!

While we were in Utah for the SLC marathon, I asked Destry if we could go to the "This is the Place" monument. I spent a lot of my childhood in Salt Lake visiting the doctor and going to different places with my parents after appointments, but suprisingly, I have never had the opportunity to visit. I asked Destry to take me and we were able to see a lot of the amazing things there. It really humbled me to think that so many good people gave up everything they had to come and settle the Salt Lake area. It was fun to go to the top of the hill and look down and try to picture what it must have looked like before all of the buildings were there. It was a great experience, and I am glad that I was able to finally experience it there.
