Temple Sealing

Kent and I have shared the goal of attending the temple together since we were first dating. We took Camryn and Kendra to Logan, Utah a long time ago. I don't even remember what that trip was for, but Camryn loved the temple there. She called it the castle temple, because she thought it looked like a castle. We returned to Logan occasionally, and always took time to admire the castle temple. So when Kent and I started discussing which temple we might like to be sealed in, the Logan Temple seemed the most appropriate. We bought a picture of the Logan temple and it has been hanging in our home as a symbol of our goal. This goal finally became a reality, and we had a temple date set for September 17, 2011. Right up until the last minute, it was hard for me to believe that this was really happening. I had been wanting to go through the temple for so long.

That morning, before we went inside, Kent's cousin, Whitnie, took some family pictures for us. She is an amazing photographer and captured our day so well. It was raining that morning, but she still got some wonderful photographs.

The time finally arrived for us to go inside. I had the opportunity to take out my endowments. It was an experience unlike anything else. It was absolutely amazing. The feelings I felt were indescribable. I know that the things I felt were real and the blessings of the temple are from God.

Kent and I were also able to be sealed together, for time and all eternity. I love Kent so much. He is such an amazing husband. I never dreamed I would have someone like him. I feel so blessed to be his companion forever.

After our sealing, Corinne was brought into the room to be sealed to us. Words cannot describe the feelings of love that came over me when she walked in, all dressed in white. You could tell from her expressions and mannerisms that she could feel the special feelings of the temple. The spirit that was felt in that room when she walked in was indescribable.

The whole experience was the closest thing to heaven on earth that I have ever experienced. The only thing that could have made it better would have been if Camryn and Kendra could have been sealed to us as well. I also wish that they could have felt the amazing spirit inside the sealing room. But when we came out, they were there waiting for us.

I love all three of my girls, and my husband so much.

The wonderful group of people that shared this experience with us.

After that we all headed to an amazing lunch and The BlueBird Restaurant.

We were served delicious chicken cordon bleu with salad and potatoes and rolls with pie for desert.

It was a truly amazing day. One that I will never forget.
