A New Chapter

We are officially in the United States Air Force. Jake passed his physical today and was immediately (once he got his trousers back on) swore in. Now we wait until they tell us when he will leave for basic training. Then it's 8 weeks without him. It will be really hard to be separated from him for so long but I will enjoy visiting my family in Florida. Then they will send him to training with or without me. After all of that, we will finally be stationed somewhere as a family. We are so excited! It has been a long time coming. I feel like we have started a new chapter in our lives. We are ready to serve our country and get some nice benefits in return.

Together Forever

On July 5 Jake and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Orlando, FL LDS temple. Then our son was brought in and he was also sealed to us. My grandfather is a sealer in the temple and was able to preform that ordinance for us. It has been a long, hard journey but we made it. We are so grateful for everyone who helped us get to where we are now. I am so happy to know that my family will be together FOREVER even after we die. I love them so much and am so glad that we will never have to be parted.

I would like to give a special Thank You to all of our family that traveled from around the country to attend our sealing. Thanks Mom & Dad Gillespie, Charie, Jeremy, Lauren, Madeline, Katherine, Elisabeth, James, Amelia, Ashley, Paige, Micheal, Douglas, Joey, Heather & baby boy, Abbey, Jack, Josh, Chris, Emily, Mary, Ben, Will, Lily, Quinn, Annie, Belle, Parker, Carol, Cadence, and Mark. And another Thank You to Lianne, Adam, Mom, Dad, Carol and Ana for hosting a wonderful party for us. We love each and every one of you and are so grateful for your love and support.
