Sealed Forever

I have been trying to think about what to say in this post for a couple of weeks now. It's so hard to post a few pictures and tell a story that goes so far beyond words of my feelings of the moment as it was happening.

December was a whirlwind of spiritual activity for John and me. First, John recieved the priesthood on November 23. Second, Eric was baptised by John on December 6. Third, John and I recieved our endowments on December 10 at the temple. And finally we were sealed together with our children on December 16.

Here is how beautiful the temple looked the night we were sealed together.


And here is my beautiful family after the ceremony, it was pretty dark but they came out OK.

And here is Elder Shumway with us, he is the missionary that baptised John last year and he was so instrumental in John's baptism that we were thrilled he could be there with us.


I hope that everyone I know understands how extremely grateful I am for all the support John and I have received during our growth in the church. It has been such a wonderful process to learn the gospel and as I begin to understand the plan our Lord has for us I feel like I could never say thank you enough to the people who helped my family to get to this point. I love you all very much.
