Time and All Eternity..and it begins today!

Our story begins Friday when we traveled to St Louis
and stayed at the Marriott.
For having 3 little children, with one being sick,
we somehow managed to stay organized.
Elizabeth came with us to help with the kids....
what a blessing she was to us,
because we didn't need to worry about them....
Saturday morning was spent getting ready.
Logan and Nathan ended up in my room busy
playing cars and having fun together.
Beth was busy giving Laura an "up-do" so she would look amazing!
Laura was so excited...and nervous!

Uncle CJ got Logan all dressed and tucked him into the bed
so he could watch cartoons while I got ready.
Then we headed off to the temple....on time...
calm...and ready...!
I helped Laura get dressed and then went to the waiting
room as other guests arrived. It was so fun to see friend
after friend enter the waiting room and have time
for all of us to visit.
The sealing room was filled when Adam and Laura came in.

And then they were married for Time and All Eternity...We only took a few pictures outside because it was freezing cold and windy... An Eternal Family has begun!

Then the entire group headed off to the Macaroni Grill for lunch..

The Kinters who have been Laura's family for the past year!

CJ was the "host" and started off the lunch with
words of love and advice for the newlyweds....
and then we went around the room and everyone
was able to share their thoughts and love with them.

Logan is asleep in Adam's arms...don't they look so happy!!

Nathan loved Elizabeth and they spent some time coloring!

Lily was enjoying some chicken with catsup...
Benson Steel and his sister Anna came in from Salt Lake City.
Benson is the missionary who taught and baptized Laura 2 years ago!
Almost the entire group!
(There were a few who had to leave early)
I'm just so happy to have experienced this day!
