Families Are Forever

It's been a long time in coming, but last weekend was well worth the wait! Mom and Dad and the kids came from Nebraska, and after a day of... 

...Pretzel Maker with my kiddos...

...many tears and an anxiety attack....

...and finally a sweet girl with pierced ears

... and then after shopping and picking out pumpkins, we went to........


the temple!

After 12 ½ years, I'm finally sealed to my family! As we walked in the front door, the man at the front desk said, "The Landers? Yes, we've been waiting for you!" Totally made me cry. :) We are grateful to our friends and family who were able to come and share this special day with us!

When we got back to our apartment after dinner, Zane jumped out of the car, and then turned and gave me a big hug and said, "I'm so glad that you are part of our forever family!!" :) He and Morgan understood a lot more than I thought they would. They also thought that the double mirrors in the sealing room were pretty cool!

I'm SO grateful for my forever family!
