It was windy and cold, I am covered with dust. And yet I am so happy.

Awesome! We watched the groundbreaking in our stake center in Olathe. Aside from some technical difficulties, it was wonderful! BTW - I saw you pics got uploaded to the church site already, too. =)
Wonderful stuff is happening!!!
Awesome in every way! This is one of those days that you will never forget. Great pictures - I almost feel like I was there. Wish I could have been! Love you!!
I was thinking of you today! What a wonderful event. Thanks for taking all the great pics and writing about it. Elder Deshler was my stake president growing up. Really, REALLY wish we could have been there! What a glorious day!
Well, we feel quite honored to have made your chaser blog!!! The rest of your pictures are fantastic. We really couldnt see from where we were sitting so i appreciate all of them. LOVE the picture of the shovels all lined up waiting.
And now....let the construction begin!!!!
You totally took a picture of our Grandma she is in the green dress, in the first picture.
So happy for you! It looks like a beautiful day, despite the cold weather
I was looking for pictures of the groundbreaking ceremony online and found your blog. You took some great shots! I have never been to a groundbreaking ceremony, so I didn't even think of going up by the microphone to see what was up there. I love the shots you took of that area!
My son is on a mission and is wanting some pics, so I have copied a few of yours.
Thanks so much!

How exciting!! I get homesick every time I look at this blog! I want to go back for the open house!
Thanks for sharing. I read about the groundbreaking in the Church News then googgled it! I found your blog. How excited I am! My family and I grew up in Gallatin and Lee's Summit. We are so anxious to see the completion of this temple. I will definitely be following your blog!!
I'm so jealous that you were able to go to the temple groundbreaking!! What a wonderful experience. I can hardly believe that we're actually going to have a temple so close after hoping for one for so many years. Thanks for keeping us all updated on its progress--love the blog!!
