Families can be together forever

At the end of April the whole family got together for our baby brother, Adam's, mission farewell! The whole family was able to be in the temple together when he got his endowments and it was a joyous day because we had finally reached our family goal since we were little of "No Emty Chairs." Granted, we still have to make it to heaven, but we made it to the temple and it was no easy task! We got the awesome and unique opportunity visiting with the first counselor of the temple presidency in the presidents office while we were all dressed in white. It will be a day I will never forget the feelings of pure joy I had.

This is Adam after he got set apart as a missionary.

 Tony and Monse and their cute new little guy Ashton made the long long drive and spent the week here. The rest of the family rolled in Thursday night.

 It was spent playing games and enjoying ourselves. Love to be with my family!

The good bye was hard as they alwyas are, but I was so glad to get this kid sent off on a mission!

 And in other news, my second youngest brother Jordan proposed to his girlfriend in April and we are so excited to have Taylor join our family!

 They will be sealed on July 13!

 Adam entered the MTC on May 1. Here he is with his group.

What an awesome weekend! I am so blessed! Although 21 our of the 40-something people who came to the farewell got the flu, it still couldnt stop all of us from being so happy we were together. Families CAN be together forever!!!
