This last weekend, our little family was sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti, UT Temple. This was the sweetest, most spiritual moments for me. Dave, Matthew and I drove from Mesa to Spring City last Tues. It was such a l o n g drive, but worth it! We were welcomed by my inlaws and all of their munchkins. We spent a few days, just us together. It was nice. Dave went to Gunnison to buy hay for the llamas, horses, and sheep. Then he had to stack it up all nice under the canopy. His mom always puts him to work when we're there, but we wouldn't want in any other way!!!! Then on Friday night, ALL of my siblings either flew or drove to UT. We got together that night, and had a nice dinner. Unfortunately, Tante Woozie and Dave were having bum wars on the trampoline, and tante woozie hit the ground, and cracked her back. Their family had driven ALL day from Colorado to be there at the sealing. She was air lifted to SLC hospital, and is still there awaiting the decision for surgery or not. We missed the Sorensen family, and hope for a speedy recovery for tante woozie! Then the next morning, we all got ready for the special day. We had everyone from Dave's family, my family, my dad good friend Doug, and Melissa and Gregg present. My sweet Grandpa Gunnell sealed Dave and I together. Then for the most touching part, my precious Matthew came it the room all dressed in white, smiling from ear to ear. I couldnt hold back the tears ( and anyone else for that matter ). It was such a special moment, and will always be such a vivid memory for me. I am so grateful to be sealed to my husband, and son. We are finally an eternal family!!!!
