"The Best Two Years of My Life"

The Unforgettable Moment of the Day.

Words cannot describe the feeling that came over me shortly after we were married. We had gone out to the temple grounds for some pictures. As we walked out the doors of the temple, we both instantly looked all around us, wondering where the kids were and waiting, like a child on Christmas morning, to share with them our excitement. The moment seemed like forever. Then walking up the sidewalk were 5 of the most amazing kids walking toward the crowd of friends and family. The moment was frozen in time and it seemed as if everything was in slow motion. You could have heard a pin drop. I'm pretty sure that everyone could sense the importance of this moment, when there were tears in our eyes, as we watch these little blessings from heaven, join in the celebration of our new family. We were so excited to see them and let me add that they were 3 of the most handsome little guys, and 2 of the most beautiful little girls I have ever seen. It had to have been one of the top highlights of the day.

I Still Remember........

The time has gone by so quickly. It seems like just yesterday that I was spending sleepless nights preparing for the "Big Day". The "Big Day" that I will never forget....I still remember how I felt that day, the friends and family that were there to celebrate with us, the 5 beautiful children that joined together with us as a new family, the cold and sore throat that I woke up with that morning, the 9 degree temperature that morning at the Logan Temple and the much anticipated Honeymoon on a Mexican Riviera Cruise in 80 degree weather.
