Kristen went to the temple

It was really a wonderful experience to be able to go through the temple with Kristen yesterday. She looked so beautiful, and so sweet and pure: as promised 'clean every whit'. What an added joy when Kristen and I walked into the endowment room and found that Annie and Michael were the witness couple!!! Lisa said it was interesting to watch the man choosing the witness couple to come forward, scan the audience in the chapel, have his eyes rove from couple to couple and then go back and focus on Annie and Michael, go around to the back and pick them!! Made it extra special for Kristen. It was just a totally sweet experience......and nice for me to be able to participate looking through 'fresh eyes'. Again, the temple feels like 'home'.
Loved it all......especially when dad, Lisa, Annie, Michael and Kristen and Alex all walked through into the celestial room. I was the 'first' person in from that session and got to be the one welcoming my family one by one. Sweet.

Just a couple more days. Marie went to bed feeling sick. I hope she is up and at 'em before we leave...it would be really sad just to send James.

Allie, I will take throwing up and sick kids........though the trip here would be rather miserable, wouldn't it?
