The
Houston temple is very beautiful.
The inside of it, and particularly the Celestial Room, looked like a smaller version of the
Timpanogos Temple, which was fun since that was the temple we were married in.
This is a smaller temple, so it had a more intimate feel to it. There was a young lady who was doing a live endowment, and I'm pretty sure we were the only ones in the session that weren't there for her. It was neat to see her surrounded by family and friends. I was the only male that wasn't in the prayer circle, and I didn't feel the need to invade her experience.
There were just over a dozen people in the room, so it was pretty neat.
I really loved the exterior as well. It is situated in a very nice neighborhood with lots of trees and greenery. The grounds themselves had a walking path that went through kind of a little garden. I referred to it as the secret garden, but it wasn't that secret. Although, there was a sign for a "hidden entrance." But, it's not that hidden if it's labelled I suppose.
This was my first temple in Texas, and I had a great experience here.

| These walking paths through the gardens on the grounds gave it a very secluded feeling. |
