Happy Anniversary!

Yesterday my husband and I have been married for 15 years. Knowing that this is a big milestone in our marriage brought great joy to us both. I am sure that there are many people out there wondering how we celebrated. We are planning to be sealed with our children in the Denver Temple in June so that is how we are celebrating. We are plaaning a huge reception for all of our friends and family to attend after our sealing. Since this event is such a big thing for us we decided that on our actual anniversary we would go out to dinner. My husband wanted to go some where really nice down town Denver since we have been married for 15 years. He did let me make the final decision though. Over the past few weeks I have been thinking about were to go eat. Of all the places that we could go eat I was craving "Panda Express". When I told my husband he laughed at first but then agreed. He had been wanting "Panda Express" too, just not on our anniversary. So for our anniversary my husband and I had a quiet dinner at "Panda Express." While we were there my sweet little 5 year old daughter called me on cell phone. She told me that she was not having fun because I was not there. A little history about my relationship with my daughter: My husband has 2 amazing daughters with his first wife. When we got married we ended up having 4 boys and then lastly a little girl. My little girl and I are very close. I am hoping that it stays that way but for now I am enjoying every minute of it! I told Bailee that we were on our way home with ice cream and cake. When we got home we celebrated our anniversary with our children. Of course during our celebrating we all talked about going to the temple. It is so interesting to me how much preparing to go to the temple has taken over our whole family. It is not just something that my husband and I want but our children as well. Knowing that when my life on earth is through I will be able to spend the eternities with the people I love most brings so much joy and happiness to my heart I can't possibly put into words. I wish the same for every family! Families can be together forever through Heavenly Father's plan!
