Sunshine in My Soul

 

 
I have a very special friend named Sunny, and her spirit is every bit as bright as her name implies. Yesterday I felt so privileged to be her escort during her endowment in the Nashville Tennessee temple, and Brady and I were delighted as we watched her and her husband be sealed for time and all eternity.  
 



 
The temple has always been a special place for Brady and me, but that day it captured one of those moments that will be a cherished memory forever. We could almost feel heaven's smiles :) 

 
After a lovely experience, Brady and I let our dear friends celebrate in private while we had a little date at McAlister's Deli. We shared our feelings about the day, planned for the future, and enjoyed some yummy food. Our hearts felt as did Sister Hinckley's when she said, "How grateful I am for the gospel and the assurance that even friendships are eternal."


 
And how grateful I am that I get to spend eternity with my best friend :)

  1. How wonderful to catch up with you!!! Love the blog -- and all the pictures! You are so beautiful, Stefanie :). I was going to comment on all the various posts and the thoughts that I had while reading them -- but I've forgotten most of them ;). So here's what I remember:

    1. Brady's MRE picture. Ugh. I ate one of those back in July with Jeremy. And you're right: most of it is not identifiable!
    2. All those cakes! Holy cow! I was envious ;). I want a slice of EACH.
