Last weekend we headed to Mesa. We have been looking forward to this
for a long time...
actually 19 years!;)
PreShie flew from Provo
to finalize her teeth issues and to
attend the Mesa Arizona Temple.
When she was deciding which temple she would like to attend for
her special day...she consulted with her big brother...
The Aggie Boy, who didn't even hesitate to tell her that the Mesa Temple was our
The Aggie Boy, who didn't even hesitate to tell her that the Mesa Temple was our
family temple, and how could she consider anything else! And
he is right.
It is a very special temple for our family. Generations
on each side of the family has been blessed by
"Our Temple."
I love the sentiment of that Aggie Boy!
So Mesa it was.
While on our way to Mesa we found out that Grandpa S.
was on his way to the hospital.
He was very ill. We went straight
to the hospital and one by one The Brotherhood arrived!
Oh how I love
those brothers of mine. While Grandpa S. was being cared for, The
Brotherhood...
The Farmer and I enjoyed visiting and laughing into the
weeeee hours of the morning.
Grandpa was released...we headed home
and got a few hours of sleep before morning arrived.
PreShie spent
the morning in more dental appointments...I cannot even begin to
express my
gratitude for the wonderful Doctors that have helped us
out of a very complex situation.
Each one is very special to us!
Once the appointments were done we began preparations
or her visit to
the Mesa Temple. There is always lots of fun and laughing when she is
around.
The and The Rooster LOVED being together.
We enjoyed our time at the Temple, it was a beautiful experience.
She was surrounded by her Aunts, Uncles and Grandparents. It meant so
much to have them with us.
Afterward we enjoyed a great dinner together!
Saturday was filled with lots of shopping! I think we have her pretty
ready to go.
What a fun process it was! The Farmer and The Rooster
were both really patient while
we did what had to be done!
Later that afternoon, the family gathered again
for more partying!
This time with all the cousins.
We enjoyed a delicious sandwich...Ned's
a Mesa tradition.
There was lot of swimming...yummy food...and great family!!
All in celebration of PreShie!!
Sunday came too quickly and PreShie returned to Provo.
It was great to
be with the Grandparents for Mother's Day.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect weekend!
I am so very grateful
for a wonderful family who is so great to support us!
**p.s. Thank you to the sweet lady who stopped me in Target;)
you made my night!
What a sweetheart you are! Thank you for your kind words.

Oh, my dear--it was me who had so much FUN..Thank you! What a pleasure to see you! We have a fun story about the Mesa Temple, too. When our youngest daughter was getting married her daddy thought for sure she would be one of the first brides in the Snowflake Temple - but, she too, choose the Mesa Temple. That was where her mom and dad were married, where her sisters were married and the Temple she had dreamed about all her life. So, the Mesa Temple it was! And, we still love to go there whenever we can. It is really quite an experience to attend there after going to our Snowflake Temple where we recognize or know everyone there most of the time. At the Mesa Temple we may or may not see someone we "know". It's still such a blessing and we love it so! Best wishes! You are beautiful!
