Progress!!!

Wedding update:  No news as far as the sealing clearance.  Still waiting and praying for it to come soon. 

Family update:  Our newest niece Erin Abigail Bahrt was born on March 2, 2012 to David and Heather.  Born two months premature and with multiple health problems, she spent two hours with her parents and went back to Heavenly Father.  She's a beautiful little girl with dark hair and big eyes.  We are so happy she's a member of our family!  Heather is recovering well from her c-section and they are spending some time resting and being with Laura and Emmalee. We are so thankful for the plan of salvation...we know that we'll be able to spend time with Erin and that because her parents were sealed in the temple that their whole family is bound together and only has this short period on earth to be apart.  We love you Erin!

As far as progress (as mentioned in the title)....we are taking more steps toward getting to the temple!  Our plan is to get all our 'ducks in a row' so that the second our clearance comes through we will be able to set a date and not have to worry about delays.  So on Tuesday I started the process of getting my temple recommend!  I was also invited to be part of the temple preparation class in my home ward.  Reed is going with me and I love having his support through the process.  We figure that making active progress towards the temple will be a good way to pass the time while we are waiting for clearance. 

See you next week!
