Temples, Blessings and More


On this past Sat. March 29th, Jeff & I were able to go to the Seattle Temple together. It had been too long since we had been to the temple together. It was wonderful. We had a hard time making the decision on how we were going to go.
We had everything from taking the girls with us, to waiting till Tues. and to go in Spokane and the girls be with Gma Walle, to everything inbetween it seemed.....
We finally at 8:20am on Sat., made the final decision, which would be to leave the girls with friends (whom I had previously contacted) and go to the temple alone together. It was a wonderful experience, even the drive there. We talked about lots of things.....
The session was very small for a Sat. (only 8 people), Jeff & I had a special opportunity, and were selected for an important part. It was awesome!! The spirit was wonderful and sitting in the celestial room after was great...... (I know enough with the great and wonderful.)
It is hard to express in words, the wonderful spirit you feel in the temple.

We ate in the cafeteria after, delicious as always. Then we went into Deseret Book and bought the most wonderful thing..... a book with a Cd by Michael McLean entitled....
"From God's Arms", it has all the adoption songs and words for each song,and some additional information. We listened to that on the way home and read the words, and sang along, and cried......... It was great.
We hit snowstorms both ways over Snoqualmie Pass, but otherwise had no difficulties. It was an awesome day. :-)
