Just so HAPPY

This was a really good weekend for us. Friday night was date night and although things didn't go according to plan , it was nice to spend time together and be in goofy moods. Saturday was such a special day. We went to Dane and Jessica's sealing and then their wedding reception. I was so excited to go to the Newport temple, I've never been there and theirs was the first sealing I've been to. ( Other than our own) It was such a beautiful day. I love the temple, I really do. I can't express the joy I felt being in their sealing and reflecting on my own wedding day. I'm so happy for them, the spirit was so strong in that beautiful room. It's a wonderful thing to belong to the ones you love for eternity. I told Jordan later that I think I would like to go to a sealing everyday because I can't help but think of our wedding day - the best day of my life. There is just such a sweet, comforting feeling in the temple, and as impossible as it seems, it makes me even more in love with my wonderful husband thinking these things while in the Lord's House. Back to Dane and Jessica. She looked beautiful and they both were very happy. I'm really bummed because we left our camera at home, so sorry no pictures. They had an amazing reception and its just great to be with family . Seriously, I love my family. All of you guys. It's hard to express how much without getting so emotional. I know I am so blessed to have the family I have. I wish we could see more of our extended family- everyone should just buy a neighborhood together and that would solve it. Even though I'm not a big talker ( Jordan's family knows this) I love to watch how everyone interacts with each other. There was a special feeling outside the temple that day too as we waited for Dane and Jessica to come out. So many cute babies! Everyone was having a good time, and I love to just sit and take it all in. I really don't know the purpose pf this blog, other than to let everyone know that although this was a rough week for a lot of us, I am so happy and I love life. Yesterday was Jordan and Mine three - month anniversary. I cannot believe how quickly the time has passed. When Jordan ask my dad for his blessing to marry me, he told me later that my dad had said to him that you think you can't possibly love each other more than you do now, but as time goes on, you look back and realize that that was the least you loved each other. It just keeps growing, even if you think it can't. Something like that. Anyway.. its true.

I wish we all lived in the same neighborhood too! ITs not easy being so far from everyone. I wish we could have been there with everyone. and I love temple sealing too. Its a great reminder of the promises made to our heavenly Father, and our promises to Him.

Happy 3 Months!

Ditto to everything you just said! I'm so glad you posted about Dane & Jessica...we REALLY, REALLY wished we could've been there. We love that beautiful couple so much! And it IS so fun to watch the family interact. I think the Holmes family is something special...

I couldn't help but smile as I read your feelings about marriage and the love that continues to grow and grow (every single day). Oh, how it grows! It's the coolest thing ever! And time does fly.

Thanks again for this post! I loved every word!

I love you girl! I think we all came away feeling so grateful for our family and the blessings we have in just being us! It is good to be together and to celebrate life and our amazing choice to be an Eternal family! Thank you for sharing!

That is so true...the love does grow more and more as time goes by for each other. I am so thankful for family, I wish we all lived closer too. Happy 3 months! It does go by fast.

Hi Breana! I figured that since I have been blog stalking you for a while now I had better just say, hello. Hello!

Great post! I love your thoughts on sealings and I completely agree. Congratulations on your wedding! Jordan seems like a great guy.

I am sad that life has put us on opposite sides of the world (Wyoming is another world, actually) but I hope to be able to see you when I visit for Aaron's wedding in the spring. Who knows where we will be next year!
