Life and Love

The Happy Couple
The Boys with Uncle Trent

An eternal Family in the making
This weekend we were able to go to my best friends wedding in Utah. It was so exciting to be go to the sealing in the Salt Lake Temple (for those who are not members of our church, the wedding ceramony was in one of our Temples, because of the sacred nature of these buildings only those members who have "Temple recommends" can go into these buildings. When you are married in a Temple you are also sealed for time and all eternity, meaning you are married not just until death do you part but forever. We were able to go because of the covenants we have made and kept...and because we were invited to witness the wedding and sealing.)

Jolena looked beautiful of course and I relished the opportunity to go to the temple with Ryan. I was thrilled to be reunited with friends that I had kept in touch with only through blogs and also see Jolena's family. IT was a great weekend. Thanks Trent for watching the boys so we could go, they had a great time too.

and I was SO glad to see you there! I am so happy you were all able to drive out here to share with our happy day! I'm so excited to see you in the Springs in a couple weeks. We're actually going to have to spend a bit more time together hopefully then than we did this weekend. :)

Oh, and Bill and I have it high on our list to come visit you in Craig in the near future. I want to see your new place and have some quality Kirsten time! I love you!!!
