Jeff and I were married in the Mesa Temple almost 2 years ago now. Since then we have tried going to the temple every week. I can count on my fingers the number of weeks we've missed going. Boy howdy can I tell a difference in my week when we didn't go. Going to the temple helps me stay positive. It gives me understanding of God's plan for me and a glimpse of His bigger picture. I am happier and easier to get along with. Going with Jeff each week strengthens and fortifies our marriage. It helps us in building a solid foundation to raise our family. It helps us through the rough times in life. When I am there, I get a reassurance of God's love for me and I leave with a greater love for others.
I am so thankful to live so close to a temple, thankful for a husband who goes with me each week, grateful for Jeff's mom who watches Scotty every other week for us when we go!
If you aren't familiar with the LDS temple and what we do there, here is a link with wonderful information about it: http://lds.org/church/temples/why-we-build-temples/what-happens-in-temples?lang=eng

I think that is awesome that you guys go that often. You are so lucky to have a temple so close! Ours is 45 minutes away but still so hard to get to (better than the 2.5 hours when I was growing up in AZ). What a wonderful date for you and Jeff. :)
