Our new life in St. George

For the next 6 months, this will be our life. Living in the shadow of the St. George Temple,
doing daily temple work, and enjoying the company of our many friends who live here or nearby.
I am not sure there is going to be the variety of experiences to write about like in Kirtland, but its still going to be "an adventure". It takes a little time to get everything we need for daily living when the groceries have to start from scratch, but that is our current endeavor. The temple has been closed this week, giving us a chance to get organized and settled. We are very impressed by the growth here in St. George, it is a bustling city? town? not sure which to call it.
So many new businesses, malls, restaurants, and stores. We have no trouble finding our way back home, because the temple can be seen from anywhere. The church is right across the street, and in case of an emergency, a good size hospital across the other street. We expected it to be a little warmer here, but Utah is experiencing a cold streak and we might even get snow Tuesday.
