The last several months have been an absolute whirlwind, we have had so many events piled on top of each other and I am still trying to catch my breath. Besides all the projects and challenges with the house and plans for moving, we were involved with the wonderful events of the temple open house, the cultural event and the dedication of the Kansas City Temple.
It has truly been a spiritually stimulating and awe inspiring time in our lives.
The kids had so many opportunities to go up to the temple with our youth group as well as with friends and of course our family. The girls were able to do a special tour of the brides room as well. I had the opportunity to spend a day as an usher at the temple, which was a wonderful experience. I couldn't help but smile the entire day, it is a serious workout for the cheeks, but the greatest part was seeing people who we know, many from Lawrence and even the Wright's from Provo.
My heart has just been filled with so much gratitude for this rich blessing in our lives, especially since our children got to be so involved.
This was at the cultural celebration at the Municipal Auditorium on May 5th as the youth performed for the Prophet. Zach is in the upper left corner of this photo.
I think this one was from the church news article.
The kids had a blast learning the German Polka.
Here is Isabella front and center and Kaija is off to the right.
All three of the kids are in the left half of the picture, Kaija and Bella at the bottom left and Zach in the distance at the top center left. Many Where's Waldo experiences trying to find them in all the pics!
The Young Women all wore their skirts to church the week following the dedication. They all thought the skirts were terrible, but they looked great for the performance!
What an incredible time we have been experiencing and we have been building some wonderful memories that we can carry on to our next adventure.
