Week 6-just so happy for her!

Having three older siblings, I have been able to watch them all grow up, meet their "soul mate" and get married in the temple to be sealed for time and all eternity. All of their weddings were simply beautiful, but I will never forget the day my sister Leah got married. She had dated a lot throughout high school and all during college. She had many serious boyfriends and potential husbands, but none quite good enough for her. Once she had turned 21, she seriously contemplated whether or not she should go on a mission. When she received an answer that it was the right thing to do, she served in the Buenos Aires, Argentina Mission for 18 months. Those were the hardest 18 months because I had never gone so long without seeing my best friend. Finally the day came that she was to return home, literally the best day of my life! I was so happy to have her back! Then she quickly got back into the dating game, and 4 months later she found Jonny, the most perfect candidate I could think of! They were engaged 3 months later and married on August 15, 2009. I will never forget the look of pure joy and happiness on her wedding day. She looked absolutely beautiful in her long white dress coming out of the Mt. Timpanogas Temple with her new husband. After much waiting and dating to find the right guy, she got it all! Never have I seen any man treat his wife so kindly, I couldn't be happier for her! Seeing my sister get married was both so sad and so happy! I will never forget how truly happy she was and is with Jonny. I just feel so blessed to have her to look up to as an example of who to be and who to look for. I just love weddings!
