Since Kaaryn and Salem are out of town, I thought I'd take the opportunity to get to the Dallas Temple. It's about an hour drive from our house, so it takes quite a bit more planning than it did when we lived 15 minutes from the Mesa Temple. Anyone unfamiliar with Temples can get more info here.

This makes the 7th Temple I've seen. They are, in chronological order:

Mesa, AZ. I took this one on my cell phone. It didn't turn out too badly.




Snowflake, AZ. This is the only of these pictures that wasn't either taken by me or someone with me at the time.



San Diego, CA. This is where Kaaryn and I were sealed.



Nauvoo, IL. This is probably my favorite one. At least tied with San Diego. My Mom took this from a wagon ride down from where the living history area is. This is how the Temple would have appeared to those who lived in Nauvoo. It's actually quite large.



As you can see here.


Los Angeles, CA. Easily the largest Temple I've ever seen. It's massive.




Manhattann NY.

It doesn't look like a temple from the street. I enquired within, and, sure enough, it is the House of the Lord. I went with my Mom. When we left, some dude heckled us. Welcome to New York.



Dallas, TX. I will post a bunch of pictures of this one. This is from my first trip a while ago.

Hey Matt and Kaaryn,

Thanks for the wedding congratulations! We missed you guys, but hopefully we can see you sometime soon to catch up. I noticed the Los Angeles temple in your blog and have to say that you better not have taken that picture in person - I live up the street and walking distance from that temple. :)

Hope all is well with you guys and lovely little Salem!
