 I didn't expect to be so emotional.  As we sat in the room waiting to start and listening to the talks I was just overcome with joy that I was a mother and my little girl was about to take this first step on the path back to our Heavenly Father.  It was a very special evening and so many of our friends and a special neighbor (Deb) came to share it with us and mostly with Rylie.

 This picture was not such a special moment.  There was this little pill who didn't realize we needed to be quick and he wouldn't hold still and smile.  I am glad we got the pictures though, everyone looks so handsome and beautiful.

 
I am so grateful for parents who will drive a long, long ways to share special days with us.  Rylie was thrilled to have Olivia, Nana and Grandpa with her today.  I am also grateful for the priesthood my Dad holds and that he can participate in these important events.  Thanks Nana for fixing Rylie's hair so cute.
 
Jacob's mom Jane was also able to come.  It was wonderful to have her with us as well.
