Our Special Day!

January 5th was a very special day for Kirk and me, in fact, it was a very special day for our whole families! Although it was rainy and stormy (we seem to be a magnet for that sort of weather) we were still able to overcome the opposition and get sealed in the Newport Beach Temple! It was so touching to see how many of our friends and families came for the event from Northern California, Utah, and Wyoming! Thank you to everyone that were able to support us, it was one of the happiest days of our lives! Kirk and I couldn't be more in love and this just helps us seal the deal so that we get to be together forever! Our sealer in the session was a good family friend of my parents, however, it's going to be the new running joke that my name is hereby pronounced: Chel-see-a (a as in umbrella, get that?) Everything he said was very heart felt and sweet, but Kirk and I couldn't help but smirk after he had said my name wrong for the 20th time:) Eh, that's a minor detail. What counts is that we made it there! Afterwards, Kirk's dad was gracious enough to host this amazing luncheon at the Huntington Beach Hilton where we enjoyed a huge room to ourselves to visit and mingle with our family and friends. Our nephew Bentley showed us how to go out in style and after our long day, many of us followed his lead and napped ourselves. The picture with the view was taken from our room at the Hilton where Kirk's dad hooked us up for our "second honeymoon" as many are calling it. What an amazing weekend! Life is good, life is very good!
