We're goin' to the temple.....

and we're gonna get ma-a-aried!

So, we survived yet another Kirchmann wedding, which are notorious for drama and shaving of mustaches' (my father-in-law got mad at James and I's wedding and shaved his off)....we barely made it thru a Bachelorette party where Kari had to walk around the Desert Passage Mall in Las Vegas with helium balloons tied to her extremities and thru blistering 110 degree heat outside of the temple while taking pictures. I barely survived wearing THE most uncomfortable shirt ever made :). But I live today to tell the tale!
But it was amazing being at a sealing in the same temple that James and I were sealed in....so of course I cried thru the whole
ceremony! The sealer did a great job, he spoke about some things that truly touched my heart. I remember him talking about how one day Kari and Matt would be standing here watching their own children be sealed to their forever sweethearts. I could very much picture Bella in her white dress, staring into eternity with her mate (and Aubree, too :). At the reception, Bella was sitting on my lap while we watched Kari and her dad dance to their daddy-daughter song, and the lyrics just made me CRY...it was that Tim McGraw song "My Little Girl". Just thinking about my girls, growing up so fast.
Kari, James' youngest sister, looked just like a princess....Bella was quite enthralled with her Tia. She would just sit and stare at her in her pretty dress. So...now we welcome Matt and Kari Nelson to our family! They make a great couple!
