Temple

Those who know me know that genealogy has been my passion (or dare I say addiction) for over 30 years, and in all those years of researching and Temple work I have never had as wonderful an experince within Temple walls as I did this past Saturday. March 20, 2010 is the day that I, with my 2 sisters, entered the Temple to be sealed to our desceased parents. How can I describe the joy that this one event has brought to me. When I was attending Dixie College, almost all my friends had something I did not. They were a part of an Eternal Family. Knowing that I did not have that made such an impression on me that it started me on my quest of doing genealogy, to find my ancestors, so that I would have an Eternal Family, even though for many years there was a link missing. Even after being sealed to my sweetheart, there was still a link missing. Now that link is there. I can not even describe the feelings that I had Saturday. What a wonderful day. Thank you to all who were there and helped make the day perfect!

Not Mono

Well, Mono turned out to be an abcess on Ivy's tonsil that was huge for someone so little. 3 days in the hospital later, she came home still with huge tonsils for her age. So today Ivy is once again in the hospital to get those pesky tonsils out. She left home with her mom yesterday saying "grandma, no more pokes". How do you explain to a 5 year old that they have to "poke" in order to make her better. She does not grasp that she will keep getting sick, probably keep having to be in the hospital later if this is not taken care of. Why does it have to hurt to make someone better?
I love you Ivy!
