Our stake temple day!

Today started off as such an awesome Morning! Mana and I were actually able to go to the temple "
together"
today and take in the earliest session because our sweet young women offered babysitting for the families who would be attending. Normally I enjoy going Tuesday Mornings 7'0clock seesion by myself and then my husband will follow to the 9 o'clock session, so that we can take turns watching our little ones. But we had stake temple day today and it was so great to actually see more than 9 people in our sessions. The young women had everything planned out for the kids, slip and slide, little blow up swimming pools, movies and lunch...it was great! Our twins did great, which probably was my biggest worry, but they really liked being there a lot, probably because they were spoiled by everyone there and yes, away from us. We saw so many familiar faces in our little temple that I love so much. Hawaii has this aloha spirit that only exists in our islands. I'm so grateful that we live here, and each day I make sure that I remind myself of that!!! All in all it's always nice to be able to go with hubby once in awhile...it's such a special intimate time for you to reconnect with one another and such an awesome "Date Night"...idea...we love it and find so much joy in doing this sacred work...

What a great way to spend an evening together! You and Mana are so in tune. I love reading your emails and posts. It reminds me of all the blessings I have and to remember to look around and enjoy them. I look forward to visiting your temple someday and going through a session with you!
Love, Gina
