Our Forever Family


January 5, 2008...That was the day that we became a Forever Family. Our sweet son was sealed to us this day in the Salt Lake Temple. The day was very snowy and cold and we woke up early to drive an hour through the snow. When we finally reached Salt Lake Valley the roads kept getting full of more snow, I wondered if we had left in enough time to make it to the temple on time and safe. We finally made it to the temple. As we walked out of the cold and into the warmth of the temple doors the spirit was so strong. Carter ( a little over 7 months) was dressed in a white tuxedo and looked so handsome. After showing our recommends, walking to the doorway of the temple and being approached by a temple sister neither one of us could speak to tell them we were here to be sealed to our baby. Both our eyes full of tears and our hearts full of joy, the sister at the temple understood without words our purpose at the temple that day.

I haven't seen any pictures from the sealing. So, cute. You are right Carter is too cute to keep all to yourself. Thanks for sharing him with us.
