Our Sealing!

Well everything finally fell into place and Ryan and I were sealed together for eternity in the Chicago IL, Temple on October 17th, 2008. It was truly an amazing experience that we will never forget. The sealer said it was the most "intimate" sealing he had ever done, and considering there were just 4 guest I guess it was pretty small. Like he said though, we know that there were many more people there with us, not just the ones in person. Steve and Kori were wonderful enough to attend with us and let let us come stay with them, and my mom and dad flew in also. It was an incredible weekend full of kids, sports and apple orchards! Here are a few more pics from our Chicago weekend!


Ryan and his little Emma. Emma kept saying that Ryan gives the BEST hugs and kisses...I would have to agree with her!



Me and my Lizzie! Isn't she so adorable!



At the apple orchard. Seeing those 2 girls riding in the wagon was so precious!


There was a very LARGE rocking chair at the orchard. Here you can definitely see the belly popping out :) and the swelling in my face, but I don't like to focus on that:(

Congratulations! I am so happy for you both. It looks like you had a great weekend with your family. There is nothing like good family time. When grandma first came to, I asked her what was happening this weekend and she answered right away...Julene and Ryan are being sealed! I know she was there with you in spirit.
Love you!

We had so much fun hanging out with you guys the other night. You are such a fun couple! Thanks for driving all the way out here just to see us, I mean, I know that we are pretty special people, but I didn't know just how special. ha ha.
So I hope that you are feeling well. You are probably reading this comment standing up, I'm sorry. Soon you'll have her and then ...you'll still never get to sit down normally ... ha ha.
Anyway, I hope we can get together again soon.
