2:40 p.m., 28 February 2010:
The last day of February. The last day of Oracle's 3rd Quarter. The first day of the rest of my life and my best day so far.
Tomorrow is the anniversay of the day that Laurel & I were sealed for time AND eternity. March 1st, 1980...30 years ago. We had been married for more than 1 1/2 years before I was prepared to take her to the Temple. I'm grateful to Heavenly Father that I'm even more prepared now...so we have been attending monthly doing @ least 2 sessions. I cherish the moments in the Temple when I can gaze @ her for a few un-interrupted moments.
After we were sealed that first time (by Grant Bowler...Laurel's former HS Principal and then member of the St. George, Utah Temple Presidency), "they" (I don't remember who it was) brought Nate into the sealing room and laid him on the alter between us. He was 3 1/2 months old. I had no appreciation @ that moment how blessed and challenged we would be honoring our covenant to "multiply & replenish the earth". Nathan, Anna, Shelley, Kristin, Todd, Jordan, Danny & Ally have loving and oft times unintentionally shown me my limitations while also showing me that something called a limitation today, is only a limitation tomorrow if I let it be so. I'm grateful to the Lord for this knowledge & his example.
Perhaps I can become a more regular blogger...if it is to be, it's up to me!
