The Houston Temple!!!

What a wonderful day we had on Thursday, March 19, 2009. My daughter, Candace, and her husband, Adam Mealey, along with my beautiful granddaughters, Madelyn and Emily, were sealed together for eternity in the Houston Temple. Here are a few pictures from the day.

This is my mother, Libby, who is staying with me here in Canada. It was a long trip, but having four generations in the temple together was worth all the effort to get there.
Here's my honey, Calvin, and me.. it is not too often we are in the same picture! The grounds were so lovely (and SPRING-like). Calvin was glad to make the trip and get to know Candace's family better ~~ as well as the extended Mealey family. And there's alot of family!!
Here are the four generations of Barnett/Moss/Mealey women. Aren't we all gorgeous? Especially those pretty little girls in white. OK, you can call them angels.....
Here's the new forever family -- Candace, Emmy, Maddy and Adam!! Don't they look eternally happy?
I think this might be my absolutely favorite picture of the whole weekend. It doesn't get any better than this. How grateful I am for having temples on the earth today to unite families and bind them to us beyond the grave into eternity. I love you, Adam, Candace and girls!!!

glad you all had a good time. and when travis and i lived in alaska it snowed june 6th for the last time that season. you still have a while to go. But alaska is further north than you are I think so maybe it won't last that long for you.

Remember our trip to the hospital the year Regina was dying? We talked about the refiner's fire.... and how some of us must go through it longer than others in order to find what is truly important. I told you Candice would "be back." She had been raised by "goodly parents." Perfect parents? No, none of us are. You guys did the best you knew how to do at the time, and now the blessings are being seen. Congrats on being able to be with your family on such a special day. I LOVE the pic of all you "women" together. I stole it to use in a blog entry I want to do. BTW, I had a really great talk with Taylor the other evening. He's really coming along. Great things are about to start happening in his life as well. Good job, Mom!! I love you!
