What a momentous day this was 10 years ago. I was able to enter the Mesa Temple through the revolving doors for the first time! Sam and I drove together, but not before he gave me a beautiful picture of Christ and white roses. I remember being so surprised by the thoughtful gift. Later in our marriage I learned that the gift of that picture meant more to him than giving me my wedding ring! So that picture has a prized spot in my home. I love looking at it. It was a momentous day in the temple. An Arizona monsoon came through the valley knocking the power out. The back-up generators weren't working for the first time ever. After a significant amount of time the power was restored, but the air conditioning was not. You really can't survive without AC in the summertime here. Eventually we were able to find a room with air conditioning and begin our session. I don't remember much of the ins and outs of that day, but I do remember the sweet feelings I had and how important that day was to Sam and I both.

Kira, Thanks for sharing your sweet stories. I am so thankful for the opportunity that we had to know you and your family here in Vegas. You are such a rock. Your faith is so firm. A true inspiration to so many. I would hope that if anything ever happen to a member of my family I could handle as well as you have. I would be calling you up for advice, that's for sure. Thanks for your courage and example. You are one heck of a woman.
How sweet. What a beautiful memory! You are awesome.
Kira,
I miss you so much. I have been thinking about you a lot. I love to read your stories about Sam. What a thoughtful gift he gave you when you went through the temple. I love that. I wish we lived closer. I need to come and visit. Maybe after the baby. I love Emery's hair. It is so darling. They are both getting so big. I can' t believe it. Love you. Ash
