Temple Blessings

Thursday, July 9, 2009 was the greatest day of my life! Chris and I were sealed in the San Antonio, Texas Temple. I don't have my pictures yet (so I borrowed this one). I am so greatful to finally know that Chris and I can be together forever. I made a promise to myself to go weekly the rest of this summer--I absolutely LOVED it, so peaceful. Words can't describe how wonderful I have felt all this week. I have so many things to be greatful for. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for each one of us and even though it might not make sense sometimes-He has it all mapped out beautifully.

We had so many people there to support us! My grandparents {Grandma & Grandpa Chatland) came down from Utah (drove all the way)! The list of attendees: Uncle Russell Montoya, Aunt Sandra Montoya, Grandma Mary Montoya, Angela & Shaun Stevens {Chris' sister, Baby Conner waited for us outside}, Jon & Jessica Bush {my sister, Baby Kylie waited outside}, Sue Smith & her husband {Sue has been my VT Teaching Partner}, Erin and Merced Gonzales {my VT}, Carri Earl {Bishops wife and the RS president when I moved here-super influential in my life}, Josh and Heather Wickern, Dennis and Gail Rushforth {my bishop forever!}, Jean & Greg Boothe, Bryce Chatland {my uncle, poor Kim's recommend exp, but she was there}, and us! Awaiting our exit was Frank Montoya {Chris' Dad}, Alison, Cami, and Frankie Montoya {Chris' brother}, Ashley, LeeLee, and Jonathan Amador {Chris' sister}, Jordan Schryver, Josie Elwood {Jord's girlfriend}, Mandy Schryver, my Mom Michelle, my cousins Kimmy, Karston, and Braydon...I hope I did not forget anyone!

We ate at Alamo cafe afterward-enjoying pink lemonade and hot tortillas!

Adam & Leesha Wickern said...

That is sooooo incredibly awesome you guys!! I told Adam last night and he got so mad because he said "If Chris would have told me I would have flown up there!" I just laughed because he would have left his 9 month pregnant wife to fly to Texas! We love you guys and are so happy for you! Congratulations!
