Time and All Eternity

This Saturday we woke up VERY early to drive 3 hours to Spokane....
We were able to drop off the kiddo's at Melanie's new house which was just 20 minutes up the same road the temple was on. Yippee! Our friends the Byington's who have 5 wonderful little boys all under the age of 10 were married and sealed together. We had the incredible opportunity to witness and be apart of it all. I can't explain the amazing experience to watch this amazing family kneel together and be sealed for time and all eternity. It is an experience I will never forget.
Reuniting the boys was bitter sweet. We dropped off the kids at 10am and headed to the temple and some shopping and then we came back for dinner and stayed until 10pm, and they still couldn't believe we were leaving so soon. We love the Andersons, and we hope to be able to visit them and the temple lots (seeing they are so close!)
They bought their dream home, a home on 12 acres free to romp and tromp around. No Wii was played, no t.v. was watched...just exploring, treasure finding and 4 wheel riding for hours.

I love that photo of our decorated car (haha) with the temple in the background. I'm going to have to save that one!

I'm so glad you guys could come. :)

Your friend's house sounds amazing! I'd love to do that someday (build our dream house that is!)
