I had the most wonderful opportunity this past Saturday! My cousin asked me to be her escort while she went through the Rexburg temple. I have never felt more honored! Jessie is an amazing example of courage, I admire her greatly for the decisions she had made in her life. She has never had support from her family in her decisions with the church, and I can't imagine how hard that must be (I was brought up in a very LDS home and was always supported in all of my church decisions). Jessie is strong and I am so very proud of her. It was fun to watch her go through the temple. One of my favorite parts was watching Shawn her husband hold her hand and look at her with such love, I admit I cried, they are so good for each other. I am so happy that she has a wonderful guy to take care of her. I actually hooked them up (believe me I wouldn't have set them up on a date if I didn't think Shawn was a good guy - I think I may have been a little over protective of my cousin at times, I always wanted what was best for her and sometimes my big mouth let people know that). I only arranged the blind date and they did the rest! :) I always thought Jessie deserved the best and I am so happy that they have each other! I always considered Jessie to be one of my best friends I guess I lucked out having such a fun cousin my age to hang out with growing up - we have some good times together.
Jessie asked me to take pictures of them at the temple. I wish we had more than 5 minutes to take them because the Rexburg temple is gorgeous and Jessie looked so cute!
But here are a few:
