It's official: Nathan and I are an item for time and all eternity. Eliza is also included in this wonderful equation. Last Saturday, our family was sealed in the Columbia River Temple.
For my many friends and family members who are not familiar with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka the Mormon Church), this means
our marriage no longer ends with "to death do you part." Additionally, Eliza will be with us in this life and in the next. We believe families have the opportunity to be together forever, and I find great peace in this knowledge. After all, what more could you ask for than an eternal family?
I am thankful for all of the support Nathan and I received to make this day an actuality. We did it!
I love my family.
“Under the plan of heaven, the husband and the wife walk side by side as companions, neither one ahead of the other, but a daughter of God and a son of God walking side by side. Let your families be families of love and peace and happiness. ”
-President Gordon B. Hinckley
