The Temple-- A Tradition


So, here we are at the Sacramento Temple. We went down recently to see some good friends of ours be sealed together (Karen and Mike Nattress), and to their children(Tyson, Lily, and Elizabeth)! It was an amazing experience, of course. Seeing them all in white was beautiful. I know that God loves us and wants us to be in families forever.
I wanted to tell you guys about a tradition that Thomas and I started several months ago. But let me step back a bit further to set the stage. Thomas and I are in our second year of going to the temple once a month (at least). It has been the most incredible blessing, and I recommend everyone to be worthy and go to the temple as often as you can. Make it a priority and the blessings will come spilling in!
Anyway, I thought (this is my scrapbooking mind thinking) that it would be an awesome heritage to leave to future generations if we took pictures every time we go to the temple! So I haven't started the scrapbook itself, but we have been taking pictures every time we go. We are very excited about this, because we want everyone to know how important and sacred the temple is. So don't sell yourself short... Do what it takes and go! :o) So here are some pics from the last temple visit:


We usually go down to the temple with our dear friends Branndon and Leanne Mohr. Without them, we don't think we could have gotten into the "habit" of going every month. They are great people and friends.

Who is this girl? Its me! And I look good because the temple makes me soooooo HAPPY!!!


Here is one of our favorite-est missionaries. He got to come see the sealing because he was one of the Elders who aided in the baptism of Karen. You can't see it, but he has a fake tooth in front because of a freak missionary accident! :o)



Here we are being goofs. The temple rules. That's all I'm sayin'.
