The next weekend Jerron was given a blessing in church. After the blessing we went to Dusten and Shannon's(Jaclyn's brother and sister-in-law) home to have a brunch before going and taking the first Heugly family picture in over 5 years. The last time the Heuglys took a family picture was just before Jaclyn left to serve a mission in Pittsburgh. Since that last photo there had been 4 children and 1 adult added to the brood.
On April 26th we celebrated the 2 year anniversary of the beginning of the Joshua and Jaclyn Becker family. The next day was Josh's 28th birthday. For Josh's birthday we brought home two goats, the female is a pygmy nanny we named Franny, the male is a medium sized mix named Marvin. On the 28th Josh's mom and sister, Michelle, were passing through town and so we were able to meet Jerron's cousin Dawson, who is 2 days older than him, for the first time. Then we ended the month on the best note possible.Sealed At Last, Sealed At Last, Thank Heaven All Mighty, We're Sealed At Last!
2 years and 4 days after being married we entered the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints' Salt Lake Temple to be sealed as a family for the rest of Eternity. We arrived at the temple at 4 PM. We dropped off Jerron at the temple nursery where two sweet older women cared for him while we filled out the necessary paperwork. When we met the man that would be doing the sealing we found out that he served as a mission president of the Philadelphia mission at the same time that I was serving as a missionary in Pittsburgh and he knew my first mission president. It seemed we had an instant connection and his words were spot on. He had a great energy and spirit about him.
As Jerron was brought into the room it was a great feeling and realization that no matter what happens here we could not be kept from being with one another as long as we are true and faithful to our covenants. We have been so blessed by the gospel and the atonement.
I am so proud of Josh for the husband and father that he is. I consider myself to be the luckiest woman on Earth. He works so hard to support us, and what more could we ask of him. Our home is filled with the love that God has intended for us all to feel.
After the sealing we were so glad to have our good friends Shaun and Jamie Kjelstrom and Jeannie Lynch come home with us to spend time with us. They headed back home to the Pasadena area on Sunday morning. It was so great to spend time with them. It was at Shaun and Jamie's wedding last year that we found out that we had little Jerron on the way as we celebrated our first anniversary. Now as they celebrated their first anniversary they spent the weekend with us and came to our sealing.God has truly been great to us. I am so grateful for such a wonderful supportive family and friends. For whatever reason we have truly been blessed and it has not gone unnoticed. We look forward to every new development in our lives. Now I am finding myself getting into the photography business and it is an exciting new development for us. All the photos on our blog have been taken by me.
