AMAZING...

This was such an amazing day that I can't even begin to explain!! It was November 12, 2005, Rosie was just 3.5 weeks old, Alisa just completed her mission in Ohio, Ralph and Teresa came too!!, Denae flew in from Arizona, Rebecca and Marcus got our children ready and Scott and April were our escorts. The place...The Palmyra Temple - what a peaceful beautiful building.

Our family (the four of us) were sealed in this temple for time and all eternity. It was truly an amazing experience and we were so happy to have our two sister missionaries there. We spoke about this day when they were teaching us and it really seemed so far away...could it ever really happen?? It did.

I have been talking to both of my sister missionaries quite a bit lately and they remind me how special this church really is. They were with me in the beginning and it's wonderful to see where all of us are today. They come from such great families and we have been so lucky because they have taken us under their wing. I love them so much and they both still bring me so much happiness and love.

Bob and I are so excited to have been blessed with another sweet baby. It's very exciting to us that our little one will be born into the covenant of our sealing. What rich blessings come from being a member if this awesome church!

I remember after our daughter's naming and blessing when the ward clerk handed me a copy of her member record. In the section with all the dates and places, next to "Sealed to parents," it said, "Born in Covenant." What a sweet, sweet day that was for me. I really felt like that was a milestone in my life. Congratulations!

Your family really is a testement to the gospel and the happiness it brings to families. It makes me so happy to think that your family is so strong in the church and because of that, you are happy-truly happy. I'm so glad that life is treating you well-and that you feel it. Life is good! Love you and hope to see you soon.

Wow! I can't believe it! Congratulations! I haven't been able to get to my computer these days because Carson has been sick and look at all the things I have missed. We really need to catch up!

That was such a special day that I will never forget. I am so glad I could be part of it. Remember when Nick walked into the room and said, "Look Mom, I look like an angel!" What an amazing day. Thanks for letting me reminice with you. Love ya
