it was quite an experience, as well. for the first time in our family's history, we all stood in the temple together, with austin there in spirit, i'm sure. it was a great spiritual experience for our family. the decor was beautiful, and the chandeliers were breathtaking. but the best moment of all was standing in the celestial room with 6 of my 7 siblings, my husband, and my parents. we just stood there for several minutes, taking it all in.we are so lucky to know that our family can be together forever and that we have a heavenly father who loves each of us.
the spirit in the temple was so strong. i wish i could capture the feeling and put it in a bottle to carry around with me. and then i remember all the times i've felt the spirit so strongly... and i realize how often that really is. i feel blessed to be able to differentiate that feeling in my daily doings. lucky for me, i was given the gift of the holy ghost at a young age and have learned well - thanks to my superior examples i like to call mom and dad.
have i mentioned that i have the best family? well, i do.man, i'm lucky.
