Temple Sealing and "honeymoon"

So it's official, our family is forever and the kids will NEVER get away! On November 8th we were sealed as a family in the Mesa Temple. I, of course, cried and cried so most of what I saw was a blurry mess!! My dear friend Ruth made my dress and Taylor's dress as well. She decided a week before to tackle this amazing project and stayed up all night for several nights to make it happen. They are absolutly beatiful and I will take a picture and post it. We also have a few pictures of us in our church clothes before we went to the Temple, but it's only because our wonderful friends Chy and Cara took some before we left, after it was dark so those are the only pictures we have. I will get them from Cara and post them asap. It was a wonderful experience and I will never forget all the people who came to support us. Thanks to Starr and Kory, and especially Starr who helped us out at the distribution center =). Thanks to Clint and Ann, who did the classs with the whole family and put up with us! Thanks to Ruth and Shane, Ruth your dresses are amazing, Shane I'm sorry you lost your wife for a week so she could make our dresses. Chy and Cara, for coming all the way from Utah and helping us get ready that morning and for being our dearest friends for 13 years. Bruce and Nancy, they made the trip from Utah and flew in during the middle of the night, all because they are awesome. Scott and Ondrea, you are the best, Scott thanks for being a great Home Teacher. Mark and Kaylene, it means so much you would come just for us. My bro. James and sis Ashley, you guys came from Globe, and I know Ashley missed a trip to be there, family is the best! Mom and Dad Memmott, thanks for all the support and encouragement. Mom Parker, you came from Utah to be my escort, it means the world you were there. Dad Parker, you drove all night to get home after, thanks for your willingness to be there for us. Monica and Kara, you guys are such awesome women. I am blessed to be working with you and love that you came to share this with us. I am amazed at the love and support that all of you showed. Now I'm gonna cry again so enough with the mushy stuff...
So we went back East for our trip after, it was beautiful even though most of the leaves had fallen already. We went to the Poconos, Niagra Falls (US and Canada sides) Palmyra, Lancaster, Washington D.C., and New York City. It was busy and there was a bit of driving but it was an awesome trip! I was cold the whole time however...
thats what happens when your blood doesn't circulate, mine just so happens to be congealed, don't ask, it has a lot to do with eating twinkies

Congrats Sally & Ryan. I am so happy for you and your family. When Kristal and I were sealed to our family, it was truly one of the greatest days of our lives. One downside though...there is no turning back now, you have to love each other FOREVER!!!! Can you handle it? :)

Hey Sally, it was fun to see you the other night. I don't think I held my baby unless she needed to eat that night. She made lots of new friends! Congratulations on going to the Temple. That is awesome for your family! I'm adding you to my blog list too!
