Amazing Weekend Get Away!

Zack and I had the opportunity to head out to Southern California this past weekend to spend time with family. It was an AMAZING weekend. Our sweet niece Serenity was sealed to her parents and her and her little brother Jake (who we meet for the first time) were both given a name and blessing. We are so happy for Jessica and Shane that both of these sweet kids can be part of their forever family, along with Jared who we also love. Thanks for inviting us to share in your special weekend.

Saturday after the temple we went to Laguna Beach. It was so pretty and the weather was great.

I just had to throw this picture in, Zack with Charley and Serenity. They sure love Uncle Zack!

Most of my nieces and nephews, aren't they so cute!

Zack and Grandma Ludlow, it was a nice surprise to see her again.

The reasons for our trip, I wanted these first but oops

Baby Jake, he is such a doll, I love him so much!

Sweet Serenity, we are so happy that you are part of the family! We love you!

It was such a wonderful and very spiritual experience that we are very grateful that we were able to participate in. Sacrament meeting Sunday was amazing. The Spirit was so strong and spoke so clearly to me. I loved the lessons I learned. One of which I feel that I can share came during the closing hymn, I Believe in Christ, one line in the song said "through Him I'll gain my fondest dream... His voice is heard Ye shall obtain." These words brought so much peace and comfort to my soul, and thinking about it now brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. I know that through my Savior Jesus Christ I can obtain my fondest dreams, the feelings of peace, love and joy.

I do Believe in Christ!
