Our Sealing

A year ago, on October 19, 2013, Eric and I were sealed to this cutie for time and all eternity in the Kansas City Temple. For those who don't know what a sealing is, you can read more about it here. We had to wait a couple months for the adoption to be finalized before sealing Kinsey to us, but it was well worth the wait! 

She hated how long her dress was! She kept tripping over it. 

All five of us were in attendance (Scarlett and Shayla in my tummy) along with many of our closest friends and family members. 

Thank you to all who joined us on such a special day.

 Kinsey was adorable in her white dress and all the temple workers loved her. Grandma Walker took care of her in the temple until the actual sealing ceremony took place. 

 While Eric and I were separated from Kinsey doing paperwork in the temple, I was super emotional. My eyes were watering and I just felt like crying because she was away from me. Once I was able to hold her in my arms again, I was instantly calm. Just her presence in that moment brought me peace and I knew her presence in my life forever would do the same. 

 Kinsey will forever and always be part of our family thanks to the gift of sealing. I'm extremely grateful Eric and I can be sealed to her for eternity. She is an important little member of our family and we are so blessed to be her parents. She's a wonderful daughter and big sister and we couldn't ask for more from our sweetheart. We love her so much!
