A Saturday With My Best Friends

Today was wonderful! Curt & I got to head to down to Salt Lake to meet up with my brother Jordan and Jesse Porter to do a session in the Salt Lake Temple. Out of the 4 of us Curt is the only one that has previously done a session there, so the rest of us were really excited! We were fortunate enough to be invited to do sealings right after the session as well. I got to thinking as I sat there how incredible all the details of the walls, furniture, doors and windows, paintings and everything else looked. Then I thought why is today's decor and design so simple and to put it into my terms, BLAH! Why when we have all the tools you can think of do we not have buildings and architecture of this sort?!! I guess it was just another testimony that the Lord needed the work to get done and the people then didn't need tools of all sorts to make it perfect for Him! We had a fabulous time. I don't think one of us ever stopped smiling! Then I sat back and thought, I'm really being spoiled because here I sit with my three best friends. I grew up with Jesse, Jordan and I have been friends with the Porter boys for many, many years. Then comes Jordan who I have loved and adored and have been fortunate enough to be so close in age with all my life! Then comes my best friend in the whole world, my sweet husband! I love getting to peak across the room and catch his eye! It couldn't have been a more fun thing to realize! But to top it all off, I have decide to retire the dress seen here in the picture below. Earlier this afternoon Curt & I were waiting for the boys and decided to go to the tabernacle. We ended up visiting with some sister missionaries and before I know it this sweet little missionary from Japan rubs her belly and asks, " How much time have you?" Right then and there I decided that either I need to lose weight or lose the dress.!!!
Sorry the picture isn't the greatest. It was one of those times where a kind stranger takes time to snap the shot for you and you don't have the nerve to ask them to re-do it, I'm just glad we got one!
