We were reminded of the wonderful temple ceremony in which we were married a little over two years as we went to the temple here for the first time since our move to St. Louis. So happy that by being married in the temple and keeping our promises we made to each other there, Erica and I will be together even after we leave this mortal life. She'll still be my wife, and Charles will still be my son. That brings me a lot of peace and reminds me that the small cares of this life are not really all that important.
It had been a long time since we had been able to go to the temple. We are very grateful that Michelle Sweeny babysat Charles for us and even got him to go to sleep. Otherwise he would have been playing in the fountains in front of the temple like the kids in all of the downtown fountains in St. Louis. It is great having a temple so close to us this summer (15 minutes from our apartment, as opposed to the 2 hours between Bloomington and Louisville).
