Tara and Evan

This last week we had the opportunity to go home to see Derek's sister get married. It was soooo fast, but fun. We were only there 3 full days! It was really great to visit with family and see Tara and Evan be sealed together for time and all eternity. What a great blessing it is to know that our marriage and family do not end after this life, but can continue forever. I am so grateful that Derek and I have been sealed. It was also great to hear the words again and recall all the beautiful blessings of marriage. Thanks Tara and Evan, you gave us an opportunity to visit the temple again!! After the wedding, we spent a day on the lake with the family. It was fun to get some sun, hang out on the boat, and even tried to wakeboard, which I haven't done in 8 years. I got up, but unfortunately I am either not strong enough or too small to keep the adult board the right direction. I personally choose to believe that I am too small, keeps me from thinking I'm weak. Sad as it is to say, next time I am going to use the kids board, I think I'll have more fun that way. Derek, on the other hand, did well. A few more times at the lake and I am sure he'll be great:) He also played a few rounds of golf; it's always good to see him hanging out with his brothers and friends.
