Last night we were able to go to the Ogden Temple Open house with my Loock family. It was so beautiful in there! I felt so much peace in there, even though it has not yet been dedicated to the Lord. It was such a wonderful thing to experience with not only my sweet little family, but my wonderful in-laws. I love them all so much!
It was fun to see Lilli walk around in her cute little white shoe covers (she thought those were pretty neat). She liked to see the pictures of Jesus. Coleson was fascinated by the lights, and there were some absolutely gorgeous lights! The celestial room was absolutely stunning! It was so bright and beautiful in there.
Although it has changed and is renovated, it brought back beautiful memories. The Ogden Temple was the place Casey and I met in person and was our first date. Good memories! That day was the day I knew he was the one I would marry. I didn't have that exact thought, but I did have the thought, "You won't be dating anyone else ever again." The Ogden Temple grounds is also where her proposed to me. Ahhh, sweet, sweet memories! :)
Walking through the temple with my family brought such love and peace. I love my little family, my Loock family and my Gilbert family. What a beautiful thing the Lord has blessed us with. What would we do without our family? I don't like to think about it.
I have been so blessed. I love and appreciate all of my siblings. I have a friendship and relationship with each one that I treasure. And my parents...I am so grateful for my parents! They have always been there for me. Being the youngest, I was able to really get close to my parents. Aside from Casey, I consider them my best friends. I am so grateful for them and the relationship I have with them. They mean so very much to me.
My Loock family...I love them so much! I am so grateful I was blessed to marry into such a wonderful family! I love everyone of them. My mom and dad -in-law are the best. I truly couldn't ask for better in-laws. I always hear stories of people really disliking their in-laws and their MIL...and I think, "Man, I am so glad I don't have anything bad to say about mine." I am so blessed and grateful to my Heavenly Father for those blessings!
Family is so important to me and always has been. Now I have my own little family. Something that I have dreamed of all my life. Ever since I can remember I have wanted to be a mommy. And now that I am one, I couldn't be happier! Love your family. Cherish them. Never, ever take them for granted.
