We set the date!!!!!

It's official! Ryan and I just had our final interview with the Stake President today and we've called the Temple and set a date! We are going to be sealed on Saturday July 18, 2009 at 9:30am! Well, that's when our session starts, the sealing won't actually be until around 11 or 12 I guess. It's such an amazing feeling knowing we're doing all the right things and we're on the right path. Both of us feel like we're in the best place right now and that life is fabulous! I know some of you might think I'm speaking only for myself but I assure you, Ryan feels exactly the same as I do. We wouldn't be here if he didn't. I would love to extend an invitation to those family members who are able to attend. The space is limited though so don't feel bad or break your neck trying to be here. You'll be with us in spirit and we know that. We will be sealed at the Columbia River Temple in Richland. Guests are asked to arrive at 9am. Please send an email or comment if you think you'll be able to come, I need to call the Temple a week ahead to give names of those going. Thank you so much to all of you who have been so supportive and excited for us. It's been a long journey but we're finally here. We love you all!!

A note to Ryan's family: Although you would not be able to witness the actual ceremony you are invited and more than welcome to come and celebrate with us if you would like. We'd love to have you there.

Yay me!!!

I got to eat my very first home grown salad today! I was so proud of myself I had to share. Here's a picture of it. So it's about 90% peas and 10% lettuce but hey, I did it all on my own. It was delicious by the way.




On another note, Ryan is getting the M. priesthood tonight!!!! I can't wait. It's so fabulous. Now as it stands, we're tentatively planning on July 11th for our temple day but I still have to do a LOT of stuff to get completely ready for that. So I'll keep you updated but that's when I would like it to be. I should be able to schedule it this week sometime after I schedule our interview appts. I'm avoiding the 4th of July week for those that are planning on being out of town, etc. Talk to you soon!
