Our Special Day

We have been waiting and planning and waiting some more for our wonderful Temple day to come and it finally did. It was all that we hoped for.

This past Saturday we were able to have Liam sealed to us in the Mt. Timpanogos temple-the same temple we got married in. It was a beautiful day and all that we expected it to be. I cried just like I knew I would. I actually felt teary starting when we first walked into the temple so I'm pretty proud of myself for not crying the whole time I was there. After it was all over I told dh that I hadn't cried as much as I thought I would and he said, "Really? you still cried a lot." (If I cry at all it is a lot to dh.) For some reason men don't really understand the whole crying because you are happy thing. On the way to the chapel afterward, Jason Jr. named all of his aunts that were crying too so it wasn't just me. ;)

I LOVED it when Em and Jason came into the room dressed in white. They looked like angels and were both wide eyed with wonder at all the new things they were seeing/experiencing. It was amazing to be in the temple with all of my children...I hope to get there again when they are all older. My aunt told me later that she loved that they were there because she didn't know they would be able to be there. They both told us later that they wanted to feel peaceful and good like they did in the temple all the time. I do too. Liam was fascinated with the lights and so kept trying to look at the ceiling and the walls where the sparkly lights were. He didn't cry, but fussed enough that they let him have his pacifier. There isn't too much else I can say about it. It was wonderful and peaceful and amazing.

We are only sorry that several of our friends and family couldn't make it at the last minute because of illness. We hope you are all feeling better and know that we missed having you there!

After we took pictures we headed to our chapel to bless Liam and have some lunch. It was a beautiful blessing and I loved being with all of our families. I'll be sharing a bunch more stuff about our weekend and last week since I haven't had time to blog so keep checking back!

Have a wonderful day!
