Seminary Graduation & Temple

It has been a whirlwind of events the last few weeks.. Austin leaves in 10 days and its becoming real. 

As normal, we have had a checklist of things to get done... Seminary Graduation, Temple, Farewell, High School Graduation, Heritage Tours, Nauvoo THEN the MTC. Slowly each event gets checked off the list and the MTC date slowly  gets closer and closer. We leave Wednesday to meet up with Austin in St Louis and Nauvoo, we are very excited to say the least.. but first, I need to update you all on the events we have already checked off.. 

First up was Seminary Graduation. Austin holds the record in all Lone Peak Seminary history of the most absences. He spent hours doing Seminary make ups... we were all very very proud to see him walk across that stage to get his 4 year diploma. After the graduation we had everyone over for some dessert at our place. 

Up next family met together in the Provo Temple to go through with Austin for the first time. It was a very spiritual night and I couldn't help but think over and over how grateful I am for our eternal family.
