It was one of those days...

Last Saturday, February 23, on his 19th birthday, Parker went through the Temple for the first time in preparation to leave on his mission in nine (9!) days. It was an amazing experience, and it was "one of those days" that I've dreamed about as a mom.

"One of those days" when you see that one of your kids has made the correct, and sometimes difficult, choices to get him to this point in his life.

"One of those days" that you dream about when they're just tiny little things and "one of these days" seems so very far into the future.

"One of those days" that you will remember forever, and which also makes all those hard days (although there really haven't been very many) all worth every single second of hardness.

It was an awesome day, and we are so thankful that some members of our ward family were able to be in the Temple with us on "one of those days."
