Catch up October

Here I am all behind again. 

Oh well. 

This past October we celebrated the 5th anniversary of our temple sealing. 

We like to visit Temple Square every year and just make the whole day about our family. 

This year we visited on a Saturday so it was SUPER busy and we weren't able to 

go up on the temple steps but I still got some great pics of the kids. 

I always have to sneak up on Zack in order to get a smile.

 The fall colors that day were AMAZING!

LOVE THIS!

AND THIS!

I was shocked to see this picture work out and with not a person around. Wish I would

have realized that and took more. 

Zack is our personal photographer, he has actually taken most of my

 favorite pictures of Kevin and I. I remember he was making us laugh because of the

way he was standing and at times not even pointing the camera at us. Everyone

around thought he was so cute. Of course he would be totally embarrassed

to hear that. 

I am so grateful for the blessings of the temple in my life. I'm grateful 

for the opportunity to share this special day with my kids and help them understand

the importance of the temple and keeping themselves worthy of attending it.

I'm grateful for the sealing power of the temple and the knowledge that I will be with 

my family forever. I'm grateful for the timing of our temple sealing. We have 

experienced some tough times the past few years and I don't know where we would 

be without the peace, comfort, and promises that come from the temple. 

I'm grateful for the commitment we made 5 years ago to stick it out come what may. 

AND last but not least... 

My best friend and partner, i'm so grateful to be able to spend forever with 

him. (as long as he gets me there) He is the best thing that ever happened to me.
