day 12 - temple, houses, and doors

Today was spent churching, snoozing, driving, ogling, talking, and dice-rolling (pirate's dice!). Here is the new temple in South Jordan (go ahead and toot your horns South Jordan! Only city in the world with two temples! so exciting). The white tents are for the dedication next weekend. It will be some affair: 

This charming house is right behind the temple... If I lived here, I think I would feel an obligation to go EVERY day. Excuse the green street sign. Now you know where to find it! So cute:
This cute little Daybreak neighborhood next to the temple was incredible. So perfectly manicured, and tended. Every house was very different from the next, but they all coordinated so well! It really reminded us of a movie set: Wisteria Lane or Stepford Wives-ish. 

But my favorites were the doors. Many of them had such gorgeous wreathes: 

Looks like a Pottery Barn catalog: 

I liked this house a bunch when I saw it:

I loved these garage doors: 

Oooo! And this one:

I saw this house and I thought Mark would love it. He loves dramatic lighting and beautiful exterior stonework. He's got good taste. I'm excited to see if he really does like it like I'm expecting him too. we shall see!

Then Stacey drove Tessa and I over to see their first house in So. Jordan. What memories for Mark! Don't you love visiting your childhood homes? So fun. 

Now it's off to Colorado Springs!! Holy traveling.
