So my baby sister is Married! I still can't believe it. I got to fly home this last weekend and be in the temple with ELEVEN of my siblings. I am so happy she found Ryan to begin her life "Happily Ever" with. I missed my kids and my honey...but am so glad I got to go. Love the Peterson Family. Ty took lots of family pics that I will have to post later, but here a few I took while there.
Truman and Kara (Ryan's sister.)
Tayne and Brook. She is due soon and doesn't know what she is having.
A little about the trip. It was a superfast/ whirlwind really. My flight was delayed 4 and a half hours so I ended up getting there very tired and late around 6pm on Friday. Trisha and Tonya came in later that night and I got to slowly see everyone. Tayne and Brook took picked me up at the airport, so I was nice to see them. I loved getting to spend the night with Traci. We tried not to talk too much, but we had to a bit. Love her and I am so excited for her new married life with Ryan. They will do great. The next morning was the TEMPLE marriage. Then we had a luncheon and had not much time to set up for the reception. We tried to do it outside...but to no luck...it rained. So we hurried and tore it all down and set up at the church house. We only had a few minutes for family pics and then we were off to the reception. That night was fun and where I got to see lots of old friends. The next day was mother's day. I missed my kids and Jake a bunch. Church was wonderful though and I still just loved the time with my family. I spent the rest of the day hanging out and spending some one on one with Tina and then I was off early the next morning.
Highlights were being there without the kids. I got to help more and also get to know the nieces and nephews on a different level. I loved being in the Temple with all eleven of my siblings that are old enough. I loved seeing my Mother on Mother's day. I loved late night talks. I love the Spirit that is always at the Peterson house. I loved seeing everyone work together to set up the reception is like 45 minutes...seriously!
I loved coming home to a wonderful suprise of Jake picking me up (he was supposed to be working,) and hugs and kisses from my littles. What a wonderful time. I feel very blessed.
