INCREDIBLE week!!!

So it was quite the week to say the very least. The good news came Tuesday night when Bo and I met his mother in Salt Lake to open a long awaited letter that had finally arrived. We were so excited to find that we would be able to be sealed in the Temple for Time and all Eternity.  Not two minutes after opening the letter, Bo was on the phone with the Bountiful temple scheduling our wedding for the 21st of May. On the ride home we realized that we were going to be planning an entire wedding in 11 days. But the excitement far outweighed the stress of it all. By the time I left Bo's that night I just couldn't hold back the tears. They were tears of happiness and gratitude as I felt so extremely blessed. We were able to get our letter back in just a short 4 weeks after submitting. I still just feel so blessed to be getting married next week and am so grateful to my Father in Heaven. 

  Wednesday and Thursday I was able to really put a dent in all my planning. Wednesday I spent the entire day taking care of the necessities... honeymoon, luncheon, photographer, flowers, etc. Thursday and Friday were equally as busy. But really the best and most memorable part of my week was today. This afternoon I was able to go through the temple for the first time to receive my endowment. It was an incredible experience, one that I have waited my entire life for. It far exceeded my expectations and I could not be more grateful to be a member of the only true and living church on this earth, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I'm so glad that Bo was there with me. I cannot wait to go back with him next weekend and then again and again throughout our lives. It was also a wonderful experience to have my mother as my escort. I will always remember that time with her and I am so grateful for her and the example she sets for me. Thanks also to My Dad, Ty, Karen, and Staisha. It meant so much to have them there as well. It was truly the perfect day :)
