wedding weekend

Finally, an update! =)

This past weekend, Michael and I went up to northern VA for our friends', Jessica and Brandan's, wedding!  We drove up on Friday night- Michael was a groomsman and so he had to be there for the Ring Ceremony rehearsal.  Luckily, I just had to watch everyone else learn the routine!

Their wedding was in the Washington D.C. temple on Saturday morning, so we woke up very early and carpooled there.  The sealing ceremony was absolutely beautiful; the Spirit of the Lord was definitely present.  I was so glad to be there, sitting next to my own husband, and remembering the covenants that we've made with each other.  I love him so much, and I am so grateful that as long as we live righteously, we are entitled to the blessings of eternity.  Who would not want to be with their beloved spouse forever?  Marriage is not something you do only when it's convenient.  It's for eternity, and it does take work.  Nothing that was ever worth anything came without hard work and effort.

Their reception was fantastic- what a party!  We danced and just had a grand time.

Instead of worrying about work and all the other things daily life demands, it was great to just get the whole weekend to spend with my favorite person in the world =)
