This past week Andrew's younger brother Calder and his wife Joy came to Oregon. They live in Texas and only are able to come up here once or twice a year. This trip was extra special. Calder and Joy were married in Texas last year and had made the choice to be sealed for time and all eternity here in the Portland, Oregon Temple. What a special week it was! Calder and Joy are also expecting their first baby in September so this trip was full of lots of fun and special events! Unfortunately, Andrew and I had to work quite a bit, but we were still able to spend quite a bit of time with them. We had family meals, played games, and just hung out.
We were able to go to the beach for a couple of days and the weather was just gorgeous! It has been a while since we have been out there together and were truly blessed with the amazing weather. What a beautiful world our Heavenly Father has created!

Gorgeous sunset!
Saturday morning was their sealing. It was truly a beautiful day. The weather was absolutely gorgeous and everything went smoothly and perfectly. It was so special for Andrew and I to be a part of their special day. They were glowing with happiness and excitement as they made sacred promises to each other and their Heavenly Father. It was especially neat for Andrew and I to be there and reflect on our own sealing almost 2 years ago. It was so neat to be reminded of the covenants we made, as well as the blessings promised to us. It truly was a special day.
It's always so difficult to say goodbye to these two. We never know when we are going to see them again, but always hope and pray it is sooner rather than later. We are blessed to call these two amazing people our bother and our sister. They are a blessing in our lives and are grateful for the wonderful relationships and friends that we have.
