Tender Mercies

We recieved the GREATEST news this week!! We have been waiting to be sealed we got a letter from the first presidency last July asking us to wait a year as the time from Rays divorce had not been very long. So we have tried to patiently wait... (Ray is much more patient than I am) and we met with our Stake President about a month ago to start the clearance process over again... so we have just been waiting and then Ray came home from work on Friday I was taking a nap and he came in and gave me a kiss. He then went into the kitchen and started opening the mail... I thought it was a bill from the dentist as Ray had a root canal on Monday so I asked him what he was opening he came into the door way of the living room and started to read
'Dear Brother King
In response to your petition, the sealing clearance that will permit Janet Ann Nessen King to be sealed to you in the temple has been approved as of the date of this letter"
Signed Thomas S Monson, Henry B. Eyering, and Elder Utchdorf (sp?)

We immediatly began to cry our hearts are so filled with Gratitude and an overwhelming sense of Joy! Something about seeing the signatures of these men bore testimony to me again that the Gospel is true. We have a living prophet and Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. He Loves Us! I am so grateful to be sealed to Ray he is my soul mate I love him more than words could ever express and I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord in our lives! I am grateful that the Lord has made it possible to be sealed to those we LOVE in families for eternity. We are so excited and are grateful for the MANY MANY blessings that we recieve from heaven. It stll makes me cry!

Happy Anniversary

I just want to say that I have the worlds Greatest Husband! He is my best friend, someone I laugh with, cry with, cuddle with and Love with all of my heart. He is full of adventure, he is so Smart, He works hard and plays hard, He is the Love of my Life. I am so grateful for the blessing of being his wife. It has been a great first year with some bumps no doubt most of which were caused by me but there is no one I would rather work with and have by my side in this life and love forever! Thank you honey for being such a great example, friend, and companion to me and for loving me so much! I Love You!!
