Sealings and Thanksgiving

So... this is also a little late, but I wanted to take a moment to talk about my Thanksgiving vacation. I took a bit longer of a vacation than I would have otherwise, because on Tuesday, I had the great opportunity to attend two different sealings in the Mount Timpanogos temple. (Learn more about sealings and temples here and here.) I had never been to a sealing before, as you have to be an endowed member of the church to go to one, and I was just endowed in August. It was so neat to go to two in one day (back-to-back, in fact... one of a cousin and one of a friend). The day was crazy, as I was busy running back and forth between the events of both weddings, but it ended up being my favorite day of my Thanksgiving vacation. The day was just completely full of love and joy. I don't know if there's another way to describe it. It was just so incredibly happy. It made me look forward even more to when I eventually am able to be sealed to my husband... whoever that man might be.

The rest of my Thanksgiving vacation was also great, because I was able to spend time with family and friends and not worry about work (well... not too much anyways). I also did end up winning NaNoWriMo... (though my novel is still a complete mess and I have a lot more work I'll need to do with it before I would even consider letting someone read it). It was a really nice week, and it's been hard to get back into the swing of work since then. I'm very much looking forward to my Christmas vacation that starts in less than two weeks now!
