the best news!

From General Conference a couple weeks ago we received the best surprise ever . . . a new temple will be built in Meridian, Idaho!! Meridian is our neighboring Boise suburb and very close. We're extremely grateful for the Boise Temple, which is about a 25-35 minute drive away, and beyond thrilled for the new one.Our friend's dad is in charge of temples worldwide so we've learned a couple things... there are two donated pieces of land in consideration and both are a 10 minute drive from here (!!!), and it takes about three years from when an announcement is made to when the temple is completed. When the announcement was made, our family just stared at each other in near disbelief, then jumped up and shouted for joy!
