Good Morning All!

I will be setting my blog to private first thing Monday morning. There are some lurkers that I would prefer not read my blog. So if you would like to view it just send me your email address and I will add you!

Thank you!

Sealing May 24, 2008

Above are a few pictures taken by my sister in laws Lindsey and Emilee. I will still post other pictures when I get them from the photographer.

Endowment on May 22, 2008

Above are a few pictures we took after the session. We were sealed that weekend on May 24, 2008. As soon as I get pictures from the photographer, I will post a slideshow. Enjoy!

It's Finally Here!

Tomorrow is the first big day for us this week. Tomorrow we are taking out our endowments at the Provo Temple.



We are very excited and nervous. All of our family and friends will be there and we could not ask for more.

Then Saturday is our other big day. We are being sealed for time and all eternity at the Manti Utah Temple.



We have a great photographer that is gracious enough to drive all the way to Manti to take our pictures. Check out her work at http://www.jessiealexisphotography.com/ or http://jasonlovesjessie.blogspot.com/ We are so excited for this big step in our lives. Our step daughter, Marlene, will be there which we are so happy about. Thank you again for all of your love and support on this long journey. There will be plenty of pictures of our big day! So stay tuned.

My 29th Birthday!

I woke up Saturday Morning to this...



Hayley and Lisa had stayed up late and decorated the living room and kitchen with tons of balloons and crate paper in my favorite colors. It was so sweet of them and I was very surprised.

The also made me a banner with "Happy Birthday" in German. Well, really that is not how you say it, but it is how Lisa and I like to say it.


Last, Dennis and my Dad made a wonderful breakfast for me. Waffles...yum!



Marlene arrived for my birthday and it was the greatest present ever. There will be plenty of pictures of her to come. Thanks everyone for making my birthday the best ever.

Mother's Day

I am only now getting the opportunity to blog about Mother's Day. I hope you all had a wonderful day with your families. We got to spend Mother's Day with my mom. It was so wonderful. She does so much for our family it was fun to get to focus on her. My dad made dinner and Lisa made the rolls. Hans, Tasha, and the kids came over. They are always so much fun. Lisa, Hayley, Myself, and Dennis were also there. We got my mom a much needed knife sharpener. She was so excited!

In the early afternoon Dennis and I also got the opportunity to go and see his mother. She passed away in 2001. I never got to meet her, but have heard so much about her its like we were old friends. Dennis and I shared some tears and he told me some wonderful stories. It was nice to get to spend a little quiet time remembering Nancy. I never noticed the scripture on her headstone. It is Enos 1:27..."And I soon go to the place of my rest, which is with my Redeemer; for I know that in him I shall rest. And I rejoice in the day when my mortal shall put on immortality, and shall stand before him; then shall I see his face with pleasure, and he will say unto me: Come unto me, ye blessed, there is a place prepared for you in the mansions of my Father. Amen." It brought tears to our eyes. So please, hug your mom today.

Only a Few More Weeks

Well, it is only two weeks away now. On Saturday May 24, 2008 Dennis and I will be sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple. We are so excited! This has been a long road for us. On Tuesday we met with the stake president and were issued our temple recommends. It was a great day. We sent out the invitations yesterday. Hayley was kind enough to help me make them and address them. We filled up the room! There are so many people who want to share our special day. Next Saturday Marlene arrives. It is also my 29th birthday. Even though she won't be sealed to us. She will be there for the pictures which is very special. Thank you to everyone who helped make this a reality. We couldn't have done it without you.
