It's a Wonderful Life

 The wedding ceremony was at 4:30 and we were so excited!  We dropped the kids off at the Madsens house.  Andrew and his girlfriend offered to watch our kids which was really nice.  The ceremony was so nice!  Katie's father's cousin is the temple matron, so it was special having the temple president do the sealing.  He gave some really sweet advice, and the whole thing was just grounded in love and a sacred ordinance.  It was really great visiting with my Grandmother while we waited outside too!  She kept marveling at the fact that we all were in the temple together which was a pretty cool thing.  I told her I thought Grandpa was probably there too and said kind of paused and said, "Oh well, maybe!"  For some reason that struck me as really funny.  We enjoyed visiting and were waiting excitedly for the bride and groom to emerge!  Yay!!!!!  We then picked up the kids and changed into...
