Sealing part 2

Well we finally got sealed!! It was the most amazing 2 days ever! Friday was a busy busy day, we met Steve, Joann, and Sarah at Mr. Mac so Mike could get some temple pants that fit him :) He gained a little weight! HAHA! Then off to lunch and then the girls went to help me with my temple dress. Joann was so nice to buy my dress for me and it was gorgeous! Then back to the house to change and get to the temple for my endowment and oops I left our recommends at my parents house!! I was freaking out!! So I had to book it to Layton to grab them and then head straight to the temple. And of course there was an accident on the way but we made it. My dad met us there to pick up Brigham so he could watch him for the night. I was soo nervous for some reason, I had no idea what to expect and it was the most amazing thing in the world!! I told Mikey after that I want to have that peaceful feeling as much as we can! It was awesome!
Saturday morning came and we headed to the temple around 9:00, we got there and headed right to the nursery where Brigham would be until they had to bring him in for the sealing, it was kinda sad to leave him, but they said he got a little nap in, but not even close to what his normal morning nap it (about 2 hours) so he was not a happy little boy. We went into the sealing room and had some instruction from the sealer and he was definitely inspired. He mentioned some things about being an example to our family, and that this is a brand new start (which helped me out) and that Brigham was a special spirit. Also mentioned some other things that were just amazing! They brought Brigham in and of course he was screaming! Even we couldnt calm him down, until it was his turn to be sealed and all of a sudden he just stopped screaming and got the most heavenly look on his face. He definitely knew what was going on. Right then we all lost it! I dont think there was a dry eye in the whole room.
Satan was definitely working on us before we got sealed, with family issues, stress, traffic etc. it makes you realize how important family is and the temple. Satan really did not want us to get sealed! And we definitely felt that! But that only made me want it even more. It was such an amazing weekend and was so glad to be able to share it with family.
The next post has a bunch of pictures from the weekend...
