The Best Day

On Tuesday September 16th 2008, thirteen years after being civilly married, we were sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti, Utah Temple. What a wonderful day! Everything was perfect. Perfect weather, perfect family and perfect friends to help us enjoy this wonderful event. We arrived at the temple and escorted the children to the youth center where some wonderful temple workers looked after them and helped them change into their white clothes. Then we were shown to our dressing rooms. I got the bride's room all to myself. It was fabulous! The temple was more beautiful then I ever dreamed of. After we were dressed, we were shown to the sealing room where my Grandpa Francom was waiting for us. He gave us some instructions about what would happen and then they brought in my Dad and Dallan's Dad to serve as witnesses. A short time later they brought the rest of our group in.
After Dallan and I were sealed they brought the children in. That was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. All dressed in white, holding hands, looking like perfect little angels. We all knelt around the alter holding hands as they were sealed to us. I haven't felt so much love since I gave birth to my beautiful babies, and now they are mine forever as long as I live worthily.
I want to first thank Heavenly Father for trusting me to raise his spirit children and giving me an amazing husband to do it with. Dallan, I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for sticking with me, being a positive example and becoming a worthy priesthood holder so we could have this experience. I want my kids to know how much I love them. Grandpa said that the biggest act of love would be to die for someone as Jesus did for us, and I would gladly give my life for any of my children.
To all of our friends and family, thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping us to get where we are today. We love you all.
