We had the fun opportunity to have my little sis down for a few weeks. She is one busy person, so when she finally had some free time Brent & I snatched her up. She is such a fun person to be around and we enjoyed the time we were able to spend with her! We had so much fun and were able to do a lot of things while she was here, like seeing "The Avengers" and "Snow White and the Huntsman" (both great movies!). We drove through the Kolob part of Zions and showed her the amazing park, had amazing dinners (one of which she bought ingredients and cooked - and boy is she a great cook!), went shopping and site seeing around town, watched a million movies at home, played games, and just simply had a blast!
My
absolute favorite thing we did while she was here, was going to St.
George. We took her out to eat at the Olive Garden - it was her first
time and I think she LOVED it! Afterward, we took her to do Baptisms at
the temple. It was such a special moment for me and my sis. A little
back-story: Paige got baptized a few days after Brent & I were
married, and because of us being on our honeymoon, we weren't able to
attend - so being able to take her to the temple to do baptisms was
amazing, and even more so because it was her first time. And to make it
truly special, it was the day Brent & I celebrated our
6th anniversary of being sealed in the temple for eternity! When we got
to the temple it was amazing to feel how strong the spirit was. The
temple patrons were so in love with Paige and doted on her the whole
time which I was an amazing thing for her! I am so appreciative of those
ladies making her feel so comfortable and letting her know how special
she was. Brent was even able to baptize and confirm us. How amazing
right! I absolutely love the St. George Temple and it was so wonderful
to have it be a special place for her too!
Then on Sunday both Paige & I had the opportunity to bear our testimonies in Sacrament Meeting. Paige's testimony was so sweet and special. For her to tell her thoughts and feelings on the temple and how much she loved it and knew it was a special place, was the most wonderful thing for me to hear. I love the temple so much and to be able to share my love with my sister was the most amazing experience and I am so grateful for it! I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and that I have a strong testimony of Temples. I am so grateful that I know I can be with my family forever because of them. I am so grateful to have a Heavenly Father who loves us so much. I hope someday to have the opportunity to have all of my family gathered in the temple with us.
Thanks for spending time with us Paige. We love you and hope to have you back down again soon!
