Temple Family Weekend

 With all of the wedding stuff yesterday, everyone was in town so we made sure to take advantage and do all of the things we wanted to do with everyone here. We went to the temple to do some family sealings, and that was a lovely time. 

Such a fun time to see everyone and do this work! 

A Day at the Temple

 Today, we got the new tiny nieces sealed to their family. What a fun day. And of course with the pandemic, temples are mostly closed, so we were the only ones I could see in there, it was wild. But it was very sweet and so exciting. 

We're cool.

Look at these cuties.

The whole fam.

Y'all, what a fun day, and I was so hype to be part of it. 

Temple Time

Today was the first time my SIL went through the temple. She asked me to be her escort, which I was so thrilled to be asked. We had to be there ridiculously early, and she snapped a great pic of the temple as the sun was rising.

 When we got out of the temple, we snapped some family pics and I just love this one of us.

Good work, Sis, I'm proud of you!

A Temple Trip

Today, I was supposed to teach the laurels for the usual Sunday lesson. My topic was on why temple covenants are important. Last minute, I had a change of venue idea. After we did the opening exercises, we piled all the laurels into our cars, and quickly jaunted over to the Provo temple. We had a small lesson on the lawn, and it was fabulous. One of the girls wanted to snap a pic of us after we had the lesson, and I was glad that she shared it with us.

I love my calling, but I gotta say, I think teaching is the worst thing to happen, ever. I hate it. I hate it, I hate it, I hate it. I'm trying not to hate it, but that will take time.

One last temple trip

One of my YW is going on a mission. This next Wednesday, in fact, she heads into the MTC. I went to her endowment session, and then we decided that we would go one more time before she left. Tonight was the night. There was a lot of craziness in trying to lock down a date, between school and other obligations. We did figure out today about an hour before we left. But she came, as well as her sister, and we had a lovely evening. Of course we had to snap a pic on our way out.

I'm so excited for her to serve the good people of California!

New Temple Crossed Off

I have a goal, sure, we can say it’s on my bucket list, but my goal is to visit and do a session in every temple in Utah. Today, Chelle and I went to the Payson temple, thereby crossing a third one off my list of … I think there’s 17? But it is a beautiful temple.

And the inside is gorgeous as well. Naturally we took a selfie.

It was a hundred billion degrees outside, so afterwards, we got a drink.

It was a great afternoon, and I’m so glad we did it!

Forever Starts Today!

Today, after 3.5 years of marriage, I got sealed to Husband. I’m not going to pretend any non-LDS people read my blog, and explain it, because no one reads this, so I’m ok with just moving forward. We got up bright and early, having to be at the temple at 7:00. I had my amazing friend Chelle take the pictures of the day, and she started off by taking this amazing pic of the temple:

So fantastic! So, we went through the endowments, (I was the only one doing it for the first time, everyone else had already done it) and then, after that the sealing. It was pretty cool to be doing that, and Husband and I made awkwardly flirty faces at each other during it (winking, etc.) because we didn’t know what else to do with our faces. Then, we came out, and got some good pics, and fab family pics.

It was a pretty amazing day, and now, we’re together forever!
