The Best Day of Our Lives!

Here are a few of the pictures that we have as of right now. We had Alyssa Boston Duce do some of our family pictures and then my new fabulous sister Tiffany Bell did the rest. They both did an amazing job. I am so grateful to have so many wonderful pictures from that day.

Sadly I already don't remember much of the details of this spectacular day. It was so wonderful to have those loved ones and friends who could make it to the temple to watch Jake and I be sealed. Let's see how good my memory is shall we. I'll probably have to have Jake double check this, but here it goes.
There was Steve and Charmaine Cooper, Jeff (old branch President) and Kristi Haslam, Dan and Sandy Hinmon, Stephanie Bailey (my maid-of-honor), Rynda Young (my Utah sister from another mother :). Then of course Grandma Fern Seward, Uncle Charles and his wife Robin Witney, Amelia (mom) and Randy (dad) Seward, Amanda (sister)Seward, Tiffany (sister) and Ethan Bell, Sabrina (sister) and David Huntley. Blake (brother) Seward was at the temple but watching the kids
for Tif and Sabrina.From my family Jan (mom) and Kevin (dad)
 Robets, Crystal (sister) and Brent Twitchell, Adam (brother)
and Amber Roberts. Rachel (sister) Roberts was there but was
watching kids for Crystal and Adam.

I think that is everyone....hopefully no feelings will be hurt because everyone should know I have an AWFUL memory.


Getting to be married in the temple was a true honor and a blessing. Jake and I wasn't sure it was going to happen on our wedding day. I was still working out the kinks of my sealing cancelation to my ex. Thankfully almost a month before June 9th arrived a blessing from on high. Making it possible that Jake and I could be sealed. I can't tell you how perfect that made our day!

I have finally found my perfect match. One that was meant to be before we ever came to this earth. Jake and I fell in love quickly and hard. I admit that several times Jake had to remind me of the answer to my prayers concerning our relationship. I feared because of my awful, unsuccessful marriage I had before, but as I remembered a peace came over me and we continued to press forward.

As I made those promises to Jake and my Heavenly Father I knew I had finally made the choice that I was meant to make all along. Jake is my one true love. He lifts me and inspires me. I am so grateful that I found my Jake, that I have found someone who will help encourage me and help me to soar! What a blessing!

Jake's wonderful family as opened their arms in love and acceptence.  I am frequently in awe by their ability to do so. I love everyone of my new family. Even on the first night of meeting them, I knew I would finally feel at home in Oregon and I do. I couldn't imagine a better family to marry into.
