Today was another long day building.
It is really hard to build in these conditions. Sand everywhere, rocks hurting my feet, etc. It is quite difficult to spend an entire day on a construction project when you have-to wear sandals for shoes because that's all you have. I start to get sticker-burrs in my feet which sting like a MOTHER, and all sorts of other junk.
It's coming along good though. I've got a lot more boards up, and it's starting to look like what I had in my head.
BUT, that was not the highlight of the day, it was that today was TEMPLE DAY! I went to the Albuquerque, New Mexico temple this morning, and it was sorely needed. I think I was starting to get a little irritated because I'm not on the road biking for a week, and it's starting to get to me. I feel like I'm not doing what I'm supposed to do right now, like I'm breaking the rules.I feel like I'm supposed to be on the road logging miles, but instead I'm visiting with my sister, and building a cat house. That's okay, after I went to the temple today, I felt a lot better. I got lots of needed revelation in the temple today, which helped to reassure that I'm doing what I need to do right now in my life.
You know what's cool about the Albuquerque temple? Inside, it is an EXACT replica of the Houston, TX temple. The outside is completely different, but the inside is the same. I felt like I had been transported back to Houston for a minute. You know that movie "Somewhere in Time" with Christopher Reeve (Superman)? That's how I felt.
I love the temple, it is just amazing. You feel like you are stepping into a different world, and everything about how you feel changes. If you were feeling any negative feelings, they are swept away as you walk in the doors. I truly feel the happiest when I am in the temple. It is amazing.

I don't know if you remember my husband and I, but on your second day, in the evening, at the Oak Creek RV Resort I was sitting at our picnic table I called my husband out, you asked if we thought the owners would mind you staying the night on the grounds, ring any bells yet?
Well we were just checking on your progress and see how your doing, good job Nick. You should very proud of yourself, you've chosen to do something extremly dificult, I hope it has been fulfilling for you. And like I said you should be very proud.
Nice job on the cat too. You havn't written anything for a few days, I hope everything is alright.
Talk to you again soon.
