The BIG Day

After about a year and a half, Ashley and Kevin were sealed in the Fresno Temple on Saturday, June 19th. It was so good to be in the sealing room with all the people who know them and were wishing the best for them. It was great to have Cory and Suzanne, Matt and Jenny, and Jared and Clara there watching as they were sealed together for time and eternity. I am so happy for both of them.

Jenny and I helped Ashley get ready for the ceremony and then afterwards helped her to get into her wedding gown. She looked beautiful in both of her white dresses.

The reception was wonderful with perfect weather and the support of fantastic friends who helped with all of the last minute details and the food service. It was nice to be able to visit with family and friends that we hadn't seen in a long time.

I am so grateful to have valiant children who have tried to remain faithful and do what they have been asked to do. Stephen and I have been truly blessed as parents.

Woman in White

Ashley looked beautiful today as she dressed in white and took out her endowments in the Fresno Temple. She asked me to be her escort and so I was able to be in the celestial room waiting for her when she arrived. She definitely leaned on Kevin for his support and understanding. One more week and Ashley will be sealed to Kevin. Jared was also waiting for Ashley.

The afternoon and evening were spent at Ashley and Kevin's newly acquired apartment helping them get things moved in. It was nice to watch the empty rooms turn into a home for them as their furniture and other things began to fill it up.
