On April 9th 2011 we were sealed for all time and eternity! Ever since I was young I always sang the song "I Love to see the Temple" I can't even remember how old I was. I remember replaying the words in my mind and really pondering about the temple. I pictured the perfect temple wedding my family and friends would all be there. Well that picture was never taken..ha ha ha due to the choices I made in the past it wasn't until earlier this month I actually made it inside the temple! It was a goal we set after we got married back in 2007 that we would get sealed.
A few days before we were scheduled to go through I was so scared! Scared that within these few days something would happen to one of us. Yea only me think the worse. I couldn't help it though, out of these 4 years it was just the few days before we went through the temple that it acutally hit me! We wouldn't be an eternal family if we weren't sealed. I always knew that of course but I didn't FEEL the real meaning of that it until that week. With much prayer and fast I became to feel my fathers comfort that we would have this oppurtunity.
It wasn't legit until Thursday that week that we would be sealed on Saturday. I started to make my calls and spread the word. I felt so bad because there were alot of family I did forget to tell. I'm really sorry but it was a busy week for me =/
So the day finally comes and I've never felt more prepared then that day! It was beautiful! I was so emotional through everything. I began to see alot more things clearly all this time I waited and this beautiful temple is only 10 mins away from my house. I can't explain the peace and comfort I felt. I can only say don't wait so long for this oppurtunity to pass you by. Even though this wasn't my perfect picture the temple was perfect and I still made it inside. The temple is so close don't procrastinate your time to enter the holy house of the lord. I love my family and close friends that were all there thank you for your support, love and examples!
