FOREVER FAMILIES . . .


Yesterday was a thoroughly delightful day . . . on several different levels . . .

The day was one of those s0-g00d-it-can't-be-real San Diego 'patented' weather days . . . warm and balmy and sunshine-y with that intoxicating ocean breeze that you can almost taste . . . We were in San Diego to support D and N on being sealed as a family for time and all eternity in the temple pictured above . . . It is a gorgeous temple, and walking the grounds with S's children was a very sweet experience . . . The grounds were green and lush, and the temple is so beautiful (even with the temporary scaffolding on the freeway side) . . . It felt really nice to be there, even just on the grounds. It felt . . . welcoming . . .

Following that was their open house at the church building where Grampa and I met . . . LOL . . . that, too, was fun. We got to see and hug family members that had come from far away (and that we don't often get to see) . . . visit with old friends . . . the kids all played together and had a blast . . . and we laughed so hard at our table that I was exhausted afterwards . . . It felt SO comfortable and companionable . . . The food was delicious and the company delightful . . .

Even with the car problems (that almost stranded us there), my heart absolutely smiled . . . ALL the way home . . .

Congratulations, D and N . . . It was wonderful to be there and share this exciting milestone with you!!!
