We went outside after our sealing and took pictures. There are certain things you can always count on when we take outdoor photos: 1) my clothes will be ill-fitting, 2) the wind will blowing my hair and clothes around and 3) while the wind is hitting me personally, the rest of my family will look perfect and untouched by the weather.
We asked the Palmer's to take our pictures for us. When we were doing the shots of all three of us, I think Jonathan and I both were looking over at Kelly (who was not the one taking the pictures). Tony told us to stop looking at Sister Palmer and to look over at him. I don't know what made me say it, because my son is so literal and I should have known he would give me an honest answer. But, I said something like "She is much prettier to look at it than Brother Palmer." My honest Asperger boy's reply was "No, she was talking - that is why I was looking at her." I know he didn't mean that Kelly wasn't pretty. He just meant the reason he was looking at her was because she was talking. Sometimes I smile to think about how his mind works and sometimes I want to scream. It just depends on the day.
We were fortunate to have very sweet friends that went to dinner with us after our sealing. They were very patient, because it seems like it took forever for us to do everything that we needed to finish up at the temple and then get Jonathan dropped off at home.
I had one small crisis on Sunday morning. I was excited to download my pictures from the memory card. I have no idea why, but I always use a card reader instead of the cord for my camera. When I took the card out of my camera a piece of the card chipped off. I couldn't get the card reader or my camera to read the card. I was a nervous wreck and praying like crazy. Finally, I taped the card back together with scotch tape and carefully placed it in the card reader. You can't imagine how relieved I was when the computer pulled up all my pictures. I pulled everything off my memory card and whispered a prayer of thanks!
These are probably the worse pictures anyone has ever had made at the temple, but I am so thankful that I have them!
