Families are forever!!!

Twenty-five years ago, my Aunt Peggy and Uncle Barley and cousin, Nicole, were baptized. I was 10 years old, but I still remember it. Very vaguely, but it is still a profound memory. On Saturday, my aunt and uncle will be sealed to each other and to their daughters. It is such an amazing and wonderful event. I will be another year older on Saturday... This is the best gift that I could ever get. I know that is not their intention. I am sure they did not even realize that they were going to be sealed on my birthday. It is not an intentional birthday gift. But one that I will cherish for eternity. Now I know that that family is now part of my eternal family! This is something that I cannot express into words how incredible and awesome it is. My cousin, Nicole is what I consider one of my best friends in life. We have been buddies since she was born. We got into a lot of trouble together growing up! Even when we have been apart physically, we have always had a great connection. I love her dearly! She is a faithful woman. A woman I want to be. She is a great mother, wife, member of the church. She has unfailing faith. And I know that it is because of this faith that this day has come. She has always been such a great example to her family. And I know this is why her family is going to be eternal. My Aunt Peggy and Uncle Barley are amazing people whom I love with all of my heart. I am privileged to be a part of their family. And now we will be an eternal family.
