Kami and Danny - Portland, OR Temple, March 29th, 2013

 These awesome pictures are all from Beck. They turned out amazing. Wish Kent's youngest sister, Katy, could have been there, but she was in the final weeks of her nursing clinicals and not allowed to leave. Kami looked gorgeous and it wasn't just on the outside. She was radiant and you just know she had prepared herself for this day and kept her standards, thoughts and goals high. The sealer actually talked a little about that and she teared up and I am so proud of her. She deserves all the blessings of the temple and family and it made me grateful for my own blessings from the temple and to strive harder to do good.

 The Portland Temple is close to the busy city but secluded by beautiful tall trees and peaceful grounds. As we drove up to it, Owen called it a temple castle and he thought it was pretty neat. I was floored by how extremely tall and white the Portland Temple is; very breathtaking and majestic. Plus the feeling on the grounds alone is comparable to inside the temple in a way. Again, I loved the cool, shady, just-afte-a-rain weather. Owen ran around the water pond and refused to stand for pictures but thats just how little boys are, no more cutsie smiles and hugs for the relatives, haha.

 Kent is always telling me stories of how he picked on and teased Kami. He still does but Kami can dish it right back! It has been fun to get to see her everytime she travels from Utah to Washington and makes a stop at our house. She always has a story to tell us and time for Owen.

The reception the next day was fun with lights and music and a really cool slide show of the two, made by Beck. Katy was able to come up to the reception and be her smiley self as one of the bridesmaids and Kami's best friend. I admire thier friendship and was so glad Katy could come. All of Kent's aunts and uncles are great and chatted with me. I kind of volunteered to keep the refreshment table going to give the aunts time to catch up with each other. It was fun and everyone was so appreciative and would stop in the kitchen and tell me random stories. Owen ran around with the little kids and Kent would pull me over to talk with families from the ward.
