A Perfect Day!






I went to the temple today!  There really are no words to express all that is in my heart right now. I just want to thank everyone who has helped me make it to the temple.  There have been so many people who have influenced my life for good.  It was so special to be in the temple with so many of them today.  Every person who was there with me today has touched my life in a very special way!  I can't think of any other place I would have rather been than there with my family and so many friends today.  It was a wonderful experience!

A rush of thoughts go through my head as I read this and think about the past 4 years or so. You are such an example to me of pressing forward. I look up to you for not letting life get you down and for going toward the higher road. What great blessings you have with you at all times and a place of refuge to go to in times of heartache. I love the Temple and all that it stands for. You are a great example to Miss Ava. A wonderul blessing she has been to you. It really doesn't matter where a growing experience may come from all that matters is what we do with it. You have proven that. Way to come out on top! You look STUNNING in these pictures. ;) It's amazing to see what the Gospel can do for ones appearance. WAY TO GO JULIE!!!!

Words cannot express my joy at the steps you have taken to change your life and take the path that has brought you so much happiness. I have dreamed of this day since the day you were born - to accompany you to the temple. Thanks I have always loved the temple and all it stands for in our faith. I hope you will acquire that same love and continue to keep yourself worthy of this amazing blessing. I am so blessed to be your mom, and I am so proud of you, Julie. You are an amazing woman! And I love you. Nobody makes me laugh quite like you and your sisters.

It is so nice to have so many people around you that love and care for you! I know that you made your young women really proud, what a great example you are for them!
