It is a fact, I really like to celebrate birthdays. This year was one of the best ever. My mom called a couple of weeks ago and asked me what I wanted. I said I wasn't sure. We talked a while later and I told her that what I really wanted was to be with her, not really expecting to be able too. She said that sounds like fun and said lets see what we can do and hung up. I was shocked and excited! I also felt a little guilty for being so selfish asking that.
My mom and dad drove the 11 hours it takes to get here and it was pure fun to have them here. They drove by on Friday and picked the kids up from school. That was a request from Spencer. My visiting teachers wanted to bring a birthday dinner so we had a great dinner. The next day we took off for the 3.5 hour drive to the Temple. It was wonderful. I love going to the Temple, I love the way I feel inside. We did sealings and this is the first time that I have done that with my parents! To see them kneel across the alter for those who have died before and look googly eyed to each other I could almost picture their wedding day. It was the coolest feeling. I love my family, and I couldn't imagine not being with them when I die. I am so glad to have such neat parents that taught me, loved me, and have set a great example to me. It was one of my all time highs that day. Thanks for coming up mom and dad!
