Plans to construct the Fort Lauderdale Temple were first announced by Church President Thomas S. Monson in October 2009. Ground was broken for the new temple on 18 June 2011. The temple will serve approximately 25,000 Church members from congregations in south Florida. The exterior of the 30,500-square-foot temple includes colors of blue, green and earth tones reflective of the Florida environment. In conjunction with the dedication of the temple, there will also be a cultural celebration featuring music and dance on Saturday, 3 May 2014. While the Church’s 18,000-plus meetinghouses are open to all people who wish to attend religious services, temples are open only to faithful Latter-day Saints after they are formally dedicated.

He normally has an hour of downtime between teaching and leaving for law school but lately he's been filling that hour with JOB INTERVIEWS.  This particular one I peeked in on was via Skype with a firm in CA and he was speaking in Mandarin!  I love food storage but I loathe moving food storage.  When the house is packed away we live on mattresses and pack n play cribs.  I love the simplicity of it.  Today I got everything cleaned out and we passed our final inspection.  Now on to a short term rental til we know where we head come August once classes are ove...

(It is now 2/6/19 and I am playing drafts catch-up on my blog.  We lived in our 2nd house in Davenport, FL here.  Jake was finishing up law school this year.  Little did we know that the summer of 2014 would be a crazy one.  Memory lane is an adventure that's for sure) We are full on in the middle of this move and I'm just going to throw some pictures up I cleaned off my phone.  I'm sure some are repeats. Solomon likes to make silly faces and probably a month ago he was pitifully sick.  Seriously, angels when they sleep.  I could just kiss on them and stroke their pretty little heads.  We were so excited to pick up Uncle Brody from the airport.  When Jake and Brody were in China the kids kept asking when Uncle Brody would be back and if he could spend the night.  We had some Giordano's pizza before they boys headed off to the land of China.   TUG OF WAR!  and flights!  I always take a kiss pi...
