A wedding and a funeral

This weekend was quite busy for us, and we didn't even hardly get any time to ourselves to do what we wanted to do. Neither one of us have school on fridays, so usually we go see a movie, clean the house, or do something with our time.  But this week on friday my friend Sarah was getting married, and i was a bridesmaid so that sucked up all our time for friday. 

It was a nice wedding, she got married in the churches relief society room, then had the reception at the church.  It was nice, but i am glad that its over and done with. 

Saturday morning we woke up and drove to spanish fork for the day. Curtis' great grandma died on tuesday morning so we spent all day at her viewing/funeral thing. I thought that i was going to be okay going, afterall, i had never met her. While death is always sad and nothing to be happy about, i didnt think that i'd be bothered at all while we were there. I was doing okay, we even went in and saw her body, but when i saw her husband come in, i fell apart.  I could see how awful he felt, to have his wife of over 50 years taken from him so suddenly, and it was hard for me to hold my tears back as i thought of my own life and what would happen to me if someone i loved dearly was gone. 

Anyway, to get to the moral...

both the wedding and the funeral made me so grateful for eternal families, and just having the gospel in my life and knowing that we can be together forever,  made me feel so happy. As i saw one of my best friends get married, i was so happy for her, but at the same time so sad, as she said "i do"  and promised for life only.  It made me think of my own wedding day, and how tears filled everyones eyes in the room as we promised forever, and how safe that makes me feel. I don't have to worry about anyone being taken suddenly and never being able to be with them again, because i know that if that happens, it will only be a short time until we are together again. 

HOORAY for the blessings of the temple, HOORAY for eternity!!
