On May 21st our family had the great opportunity to be sealed together as a family in the Timpanogos Temple. We are so overjoyed to know that our family will be able to be with each other for an eternity. Curtis and I were rather emotional about the whole thing and the kids were just too darn cute dressed all in white. Ashton being the character he is, asked a lot of questions including, “This is Jesus’ house… where is he?” He also told the sealer that he was going to get to go to Texas Road House when we were done. He had everyone laughing in the room. I am personally so relieved to be sealed to my eternal companion who adores me and I him. It really is an amazing thing to be truly loved. We are grateful to Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ for making it possible to return to them as a family unit one day. For those who are not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and would like to learn more about Temple sealing’s, you can find out this information on www.lds.org.
A few things the sealer mentioned struck me deeply. I would like to share them. He quoted President Gordon B Hinckley in saying that you have to be “fiercely loyal” in a marriage. Your spouse should always come first and you should always have their back. He also said that the two words “thank you” will help keep your marriage strong and should be used on a regular basis. What a wonderful thought! Such a great way to uplift your companion letting them know how much you admire them and appreciate them! Finally he mentioned Faith. Faith Faith Faith. We need to have faith to get through our rough times. Rough times will happen… there is no doubt about that. But if we have faith and hold on to our beliefs in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, everything will work out in the end and we will be rewarded. I can personally testify that is true.
We would like to thank all those who took time to come and support us on this special day. Special thanks to the Manwills for taking video as we came out of the temple and another special thanks to Andrew and Cami for taking pictures of us in front of the temple. As of now I do not have picture of this day but hope to track down some soon☺. When I do I will post a few.
