My Family is Forever

One year ago today. October 25th, these two amazing people became mine, forever!







Today was our Primary Program at church. I am in the presidency so I was up helping the kids. The theme was on Eternal Families. When the kids started singing, Families can be together forever, I started thinking about how lucky I am to have my eternal family. That's when I lost it and started crying in front of those poor sunbeams. I couldn't help but feel so dumb sitting on stage blubbering like a baby.
I can't say enough about how blessed I feel to know that not even the bonds of death can keep me a part from the two people I love more in this whole world. I love them to no end and the fact that we have forever to be together gives me so much peace and comfort. As we prepare for Irey's surgery in a week I am comforted by the fact that no matter what happens to her, she is mine to keep for eternity, and I can't say enough as a mother to know how amazing that feels.
Today I am reminded of my temple blessings and what a gift they are to me. I normally don't get very religious on my blog because I am not like that but I wanted to document my love and gratitude for this tremendous gift I have in my life.
I am so grateful that my family is forever!

I can't believe it's been a year WOW. I love that song so much but now I kinda have a hard time with it. It's hard not to be bitter but I know what you mean it is such a sweet song!
