A dream come true.....
I'm sure you all know that I wasn't raised a member of the church. In fact at one point in my life I vowed never to be a member. I have only been a member since 2001. And along with my husband, we have struggled to stay active. Almost 18 months ago we decided to sell our home and travel out west (further than we were). I was really nervous, because we decided to sell our home at the spur-of-the-moment and it was sold in one, I repeat one day! Once we moved out to Tooele we vowed that we would start going back to church and no one would know that we had been inactive. Well, that fresh start has been such a blessing for my family. I still wonder why we thought it was better for our family not to go to church. Our family functions so much better with the gospel in our lives. And now, after eight years of marriage, Ryan and I will take our boys to temple and be sealed for all time and eternity. I am getting anxious. We have about another month until we can go, but I know that there will be so many more blessing bestowed upon our family once we get there. I never thought this would happen! Some times things happen in our lives for a reason. We might not fully understand why at the time, and it may be trying, and you may be wondering "why me?" but in the end there is a reason for all our trials. I know that I wouldn't be where I am today, if I hadn't had some high tides to cross first. I am so grateful for all the many blessings that the gospel has brought to my family. And I look forward to many more.

That's so cool. It's been a long road coming but look, you're still going through with it. It's great and nothing better could happen. You'll start to notice even more blessings in your life as you go through the temple and be sealed to your kids and continue to go to the temple. There is no better feeling in the world than knowing you are going to be with your family forever!
Christie, I am so excited for you and your family. I am in tears just reading your post. Their isn't a day in my life that was better then the day that we got to be sealed. It was so great when they brought Brayden into the room. It's such an amazing feeling knowing that none of this has to ever end. Good for you, I couldn't be happier!
Mike and I were just talking last night of all the good ole days back in middle school, and look where we both are today:)
When are you going through?
I am just so happy for you D, I have noticed a huge change in your spirit too. Even when you think you are having a down in the dumps day, you still light up a room!
