We went to institute a few weeks ago with our friends Brady and Emma from our ward and it was SUCH an awesome class. We talked about the creation and stuff and how it relates to the atonement and then, at the end of class the teacher put on this video and in the end it said something about how the whole purpose and such was to have and experience families... that was the jist of it, anyhow, the guy puts up a picture of his family afterwards and says, "Heavenly father did all of this so I could have THIS family"...and he was crying a little bit, and okay lets face it I WANTED TO CRY TOO! but since Ray and I and Brady and Emma were the only married people in there it would just be odd. So i held it in. But really guys, that's such an amazing thing. Wish you could have been there because it was an eye opener.
Which reminds me, HOLY COW everyone is having babies!!!!!!! Are we missing something here???!?!?!? haha :) I'm happy for you all and one day we will have children too and our children will be friendsies and play. Which brings me back to families. Seriously, that's really what its all about. and i LOVE that. Family is the backbone. Enough said. I'm gonna put up some pictures now because its been a long while. :)
p.s. Ray shaved his beard again but he will not allow pictures, so sorry!
hahaha man I wish you could have been at our wedding! I was cracking up the whole time. it was soooo awkward! Then I would laugh even harder because I felt so awkward for laughing, THEN the old man that was saying all the stuff kept giving me the stink eye which just put me over the edge. I was litterally plugging my nose to try to supress the laughter.
ReplyDeleteIt was bad. And meanwhile my sister in law was in tears, hopefully it was because it was so beautiful, not because she was so upset with me laughing.. ;)
