Princess windows

Did you know that Oquirrh means shinning mountains, glowing mountains, and wooded mountains depending which Indian language it is translated into? They're the first mountains in the Salt Lake valley to be hit by the sun when it rises each morning.

We went through the Oquirrh Temple openhouse this morning - gorgeous! The girls' favorite part was the celestial room with the clear diamonds in the sandblasted windows - they kept pointing out princess windows through the rest of the building. The lower floors have a lot of dark brown and tan, then it all gradually lightens to a light cream in the top rooms. There are also a lot of circle patterns that start out as curved designs, then change to half circles, and end up as full circles interlocking with each other. Really amazing!
