This is what life is really all about...

For those of you that didn't know, my little sister Chelsey got married last Friday (08-08-08). It was a whirlwind day, but it was beautiful! As I sat there while they were being sealed for eternity in the Oakland temple, I couldn't help but think that this is what life is really all about...family!!! I thought about the family that my parents began and the little family that Scott and I have started and how the circle just continues...forever! This is what life is really about...you can forget all the material things (as wonderful as those blessings may be)! At the end of the day, the most important thing is your family!

They are such a sweet couple...absolutely perfect for each other! Chelsey looked absolutely beautiful! Chelsey wore my wedding dress, so as mom and I dressed her in the temple...it flooded my mind with memories. It was a very emotional day for me...being the oldest, it makes me very proud to see my sister make this wonderful decision and to see her marry a man that loves her more than life itself! I'm sorry for being so personal (but its my blog, so too bad! :), but I would just like to tell Chelsey that I am so proud of her and that I love her so much! You have such a pure love for everyone around you and I admire you so much! To my new brother, Miles, thank you for being so wonderful to my sister and I know you both will be happy forever! I am so excited to have you in our family...I know Scott and dad are too! :)

To my wonderful parents who began this circle...I love you so much! I am so blessed to have the most amazing parents! Words can't thank you enough for all that you have done for us! You are also awesome grandparents...Matthew adores you both so much! (He would rather have Grammy or Poppe over Scott and I, but that makes me so happy!) Don't they just look so happy together??? They are amazing!!!! I love you both!

To my gorgeous baby sis...you are the sweetest human being that ever walked this planet! I absolutely love and adore you! You make the world a sweeter (and funnier) place! It was so much fun to run around with you on Friday! I am so proud of you!

To the two greatest gifts of my life...Scott and Matthew...I love you both so much! And I appreciate your unconditional love for me! I have the sweetest husband I could have ever asked for...he makes life better than a dream! He's my dream come true! And Matthew makes my life pure joy!!! Being is mother is a cherished blessing! (Man those two are handsome!)

This is what completes my life...my family!!!!
