We Did It!!

I took this picture and the next the day before. It was so beautiful outside I just had to do it.

Since the batteries in our camera died, Christy and some others took some pictures that day. I borrowed these from Christy so you could at least see something. This is Christy's adorable son Calin and our Madison.

Three of my favorite sisters! From left to right, Regina, Sara, (Me) and Christy.
Bryan and I with our dear friends and escorts for the day, the Robertsons.


So last Saturday the 2nd, our family went to the Frankfurt temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. Something I have been dreaming about since I was a young woman. The day couldn't have been more perfect. We asked our temple prep teacher Tyler Robertson and his wife Christy to be our escorts. They were so amazing and we couldn't have imagined our day without them. Regina and Sara, came up to be apart of the sealing and also watch baby Madison until it was her time to join us. The Bishop and his wife along with Bro. Meldrom were also there to show their support and love for our special day. So many beautiful blessings were bestowed upon our family that day, but there is one part I will never forget. When Bryan and I looked into each others eyes as the ceremony was taking place. Bryan had warned me before (jokingly) not to cry but I couldn't help it. In that moment, I saw how much he loved me and I knew that I would have him forever. My heart was overflowing with joy and the spirit was unlike any other. Then Madison was brought to us in her beautiful white gown and little white bow in her hair. She reached out for me and began to cry and wrapped her little arms around me so tight as if to say that she missed me and never wanted me to let go. Words cannot express how much love I have for her and tears were all I had as I held onto her. After all was said and done, I looked at my sweet husband and darling little girl. What a sense of accomplishment I felt. We did it! We're a forever family.

Sure wish we could have been there with your family. Know that we were certainly thinking of you, and celebrating your sealing together as a family. Looks like a beautiful day, both inside and out.
