A Special Weekend

A couple of weekends ago Nephi and I were sealed for time and all eternity with our sweet little boys in the LDS temple. It was truly the best weekend of our life. What a blessing it is to be able to be with your family for eternity. We were so happy that we had so many friends and family that traveled long distances to support us on this special day. We want to thank you all for your love and support and want you all to know how much we love you!
All the fun started on Thursday when some close friends and family drove into town. We were able to have all of Nephi's family in town except for Billy, Celesta and their little girls. We missed you guys!! That night we got settled into the vacation house.. everybody was exhausted from a long trip down from Texas and California. That night Nephi and I stayed up way to late like usual talking to Christopher and Mandi. We love our late night talks!
On Friday Uncle Talo, Dona and their family drove into town. They brought Owen (Afi's son who is Nephi's dads brother). It was great to meet him! He was such an outgoing fun guy! later that night we had a BBQ and went swimming at my place. It was a lot of fun! Our families finally got to meet each other! Yayy! That night Owen taught all the kids the Haka. It was like a big party! What a great night.
Saturday was the big day! We were sealed as an eternal family that morning. Afterwards we all took pictures in front of the beautiful temple. It was extremely hot so we were all in hurry to get in some AC. Later that night we had a reception at my grandmas house. It was a wonderful night! So many friends and family came and congratulated us. That night Nephi and I slept at a hotel that our amazing friends bought us! Sadly Nephi came down with a bug and was throwing up all night!
Sunday we were able to bless our sweet little boy Kyron. Nephi did a beautiful job. It was a great blessing. that was the last day of fun before Nephi's family went home. We are so grateful for so many wonderful friends and family. The weekend couldn't have been better!
Sadly I didn't take any pictures. I will try and upload some that friends took later.
