Picture this dress with an altered top (higher cut and sleeves to the elbow) with a beautiful blonde, blue eyed young woman in it, and you can picture Angie on August 14th. That is if Linnell doesn't make any wrong cuts... both the lining and the lace had exactly the amount needed to make the dress, so no mistakes allowed. We are still looking for an antique piece of jewelry to make the belt from. Both sets of Brandon's grandparents live not far away, so Brandon and Angela are going to visit the grandmas soon and see how they feel about them going through their jewels! Dad has even been getting into the spirit... we came home to him putting up white lights on the top of the deck that now looks like hundreds of stars.

Dad and I were in the temple last night and couldn't help but think about the upcoming event. It will be a special moment as we are in the celestial room together for the first time with all of our children (though an even better moment in the future will be when ALL our children can be there, which of course includes Emily, Anne, and Jason.) Love you all so much!
