Our Eternal Family

On Saturday March 1, 2008 our family was sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It was such a special time for all of us and we were so grateful that our families could be there for this very special and long awaited day. I felt the spirit very strong as Josh and I were sealed. I tried so hard to keep my emotions under control, but I couldn't help the tears from flowing down my cheeks. I felt such a strong love for my husband and knew that in choosing to marry him, I had made the right choice. The most amazing thing was when they brought Ty in to be sealed to us. I will never forget the way he looked, the strong spirit I felt in the room, and the great love I had for this Child of God. He truly looked like a little angel as he was all dressed in white. Usually he is crazy, but he was so calm when he entered the room and just looked around at everyone there. As his little hand was placed on our hands, I was so grateful for my Heavenly Father and his great Plan of Salvation. I feel such peace in knowing our family can be eternal and that if we do all we can to do what is right, we will have the great blessing of being together for all eternity. Josh and I have almost been married for 3 three years now and it has been all I have thought about and longed for . Last night we had enrichment and I sang a song called, "Nothing Else Matters More" and I chose that song because I feel like that is how I have felt over these past few years of being married. It was important to me that our family be sealed together, but it was also important to me that Josh be ready for this very important day and I really believe that having Ty there made it very special for him. He loves Ty so much and I think it really helps put "Eternal Families" into perspective when you have that precious child there with you. I can't express how happy I am and I am sorry that everyone couldn't be there to share in this very special day. I had to beg Josh to let his own family come....he is a very private person.
