This last weekend I got a lot of quality time with the fam! It was so wonderful. Thursday night, I flew into Salt Lake City and hopped in a car with my sister Katherine to drive through the night to Washington (not so wonderful....but we made it). Friday was full of family time. It is always great to be with my siblings. We don't need to have an agenda...our time just passes with busy nothings...but it manages to be such a great time. My siblings are pretty clever it turns out. I feel like most of the time we spend together is spent laughing....and I happen to love laughing! I got to see my Grandma, which was great. She is such a trooper-still such a hoot even though she's seen better days. I love her!
Saturday was the main event-the reason all of us made the trip to Washington. My brother David was getting sealed to his wife and children in the temple. It was such an amazing day! There are not words sufficient to describe the joy I felt being in the temple with my family that day. I knew I was witnessing a miracle, and I just felt such a strong witness of how much Heavenly Father loves each of His children and how His hand is in each of our lives. I love the temple and I love my family. I was busting! So happy for them.
Sunday morning I got up early, went and had breakfast with the siblings and then jumped in the car to begin the exodus back to Salt Lake City. I don't know why it turned into the longest drive EVER.... I think it was a combination of a couple of longer than planned (and unexpected) detours, small bladders and who knows what else. In the morning though I got to see my nieces and nephew! Whom I love sooooo very much. It was awesome to hear their little feet race down the stairs to my room-scream my name as they jumped into bed with me! <3 They are so wonderful-we made breakfast together, played dolls a little, had a tea party and went out to lunch.
It was a full weekend-and just what the soul needed. Sigh.
