What a Blessing!

On Saturday, August 30th, I took out my endowments in the Bountiful Temple. What a wonderful, beautiful, and spiritual experience it was. I left with a feeling of utmost peace, and renewed faith in who I am and what I truly can achieve. I am so grateful! Not to say that some of it was a bit strange to me, but I will learn the meaning behind it soon enough.

At the temple I was supported by friends and family in which I am so thankful for. My mother, sister Linda, old roomie Stacy, as well as friends from Elko; Sheryl, Raegan, Suzanne, Amy, Becky, Melanie, and Kari were all there to help me along. what amazing women each of them are! The greatest support and cheerleader came from my hubby, Drew and my kiddos. As I walked out the love for each of them seemed to grow. I can't even express how blessed I am with one great man and some super kids (who are very spunky don't you mind). Hee Hee

Pictures were done by Kari Bates. Check out her photos at her blog. You can find it in my friends' links.
