It was beautiful. They loved being able to go inside and see what it looked like. Annika's favorite thing to see was the baptismal font. Everyone else liked the Celestial Room.
My favorite thing was the sealing room. I loved being able to look in the mirrors and see the altar. It is a very important and special place.
Burke and I were able to go see a couple from our ward sealed together with their children last weekend. What an incredible experience it was. There wasn't a dry eye in the room. This couple have gone through a great many trials since deciding to go through the temple last year. We were so happy to be able to support them in the culmination of their efforts. It was an honor to be there.
I am so grateful for the blessings of a temple marriage in my own family. Life would be so difficult to endure, knowing that once you passed away, you never get to see your loved ones again. I am glad to know that it is at least a possibility.
I am also glad that I "picked a good one" to marry in the temple. I have a good man who works hard to be a good husband and father, and is always trying to do his best in everything else. He is a great example to me and to our children.
