Wedding

Last weekend we went to Oregon (we are trying to escape from the heat as much as possible can you tell?). My sister just moved up there, Nate's old roommate from college was getting married in the Portland temple, and we had some buddy passes on Delta that we about to expire so we figured what the heck lets go! It was beautiful 85 degrees, ahhh nice. It was funny to hear people complain about how "hot" it was, he hee they don't know what hot is. Oh well I don't know what wet is! Anyhoo, the wedding was so nice. His old roommate, also named Nate (yeah that was fun, I slipped once and said I was married to Nate and then got a bunch of funny looks oops not that Nate!) married a really cute girl. And they were so happy it was contagious.

I love going to weddings, it always makes me remember our wedding day. It is always good to be reminded that you are a couple and not just parents. Not that being parents is bad sometimes I think that we just get worn out from taking care of the kids and don't leave enough time for each other.



The sealer gave some great advise to this couple. He talked about living in California and earthquakes. Apparently his family moved about 18 months before the huge earthquake in San Fran. He said that his old house was built on a slab of granite and it was the only house in the neighborhood to not have any major damage. So he compared this to starting your marriage on a strong foundation and that life will bring storms and "earthquakes" but with a strong foundation they would be able to weather any storm. He did a great job.



When Nate and I got married the sealer talked a lot about the covenants that we make from baptism to being married. How important they are to getting us back to our Father in Heaven. It has always helped me to listen better during the Sacrament and at the temple. It was good for me.



So anyone else get any good advise when you got married?
