Family Time

Hello All!

 Can I just tell you how much I love my family? Of Course, my own little family. McKay is the best husband in the world for me. He always shows me and tells me how much he loves me. Which, by the way, is a lot! We have moments where I look at him and state, "You love me!" to which he replies, "Yes". And I pull a Star Wars moment and say "I know". I never doubt McKay's feelings for me. He helps me cook dinner, even though its not his favorite thing to do, because he knows I enjoy it. He supports and encourages me in all of my goals and will often make my goals his goals. We laugh together all the time. Basically he knows me so well and still loves me, and I know him so well and love him because he is fantastic!

I also love my in-laws and the family I grew up in. They are all wonderful people! Within the past two weeks I've felt surrounded by family and it is a great feeling. Larissa (my twin) came to Utah to visit with her family. It was time to give her new little boy, Quinn, his baby blessing. In the LDS church we give our infants a special blessing, usually including their name and blessings we feel Heavenly Father wants for them (read more here). So the family that could make it came for this special occasion. Adam was even able to fly into town for part of Larissa's visit. We had a big family dinner and just enjoyed everyone. Larissa and I got to go hiking together twice while she was here and the time together was just perfect. I love my twin!

I also got to see Carli this past week(Carli is McKay's brother's wife). She came into Utah for BYU's women's conference. She texted me a few weeks prior and told me she had never hiked the Y and wanted to do it with me. So on Thursday we met up and started up the mountain. It was one of the hottest days we've had here but we made it to the top of the Y. I had such a blast chatting and catching up with Carli! 

Family is so great and I am so glad to know that I can be with mine forever! I am so grateful that my parents were sealed for eternity in the temple so that I can be with them and my siblings for forever. And I am so grateful that McKay and I were able to be sealed in the temple for eternity. I love knowing that even after this life I will have my wonderful family with me. 

Love you all!
