[.Its up to you what happens next.]

Last Thursday on October 21st Jake had the opportunity to go through the temple.  Before hand, Jake told me that he was going to ask Lance to be his escort.  I realized at that time that Jake saw Lance as a brother, and not just his sister's husband.  It was special for me to see some of the most important men in my life both able to worthily enter the temple.
I will admit that I did get teary eyed but tried to cover it up before Jake could see me.  I didn't even get teary eyed going through with Lance.
(although the feelings were still similar they were completely different when going through with Lance for my first time)
I felt the spirit a different way than I normally do when going to the temple.  Not that the other times are ever bad, I will just definitely always remember my last two (Thursday and Friday)times at the temple.
[sorry - not sure why the quality of the pictures are so low!]
I love this picture:]  The only thing I wish was different was that you could see Jake giving Jenna's brother-in-law Terry a hug in the background.






Once the session was over we met my mom, Kevin, the kiddos and Jenna out in the waiting room so we could go get some Cafe Rio for dinner to celebrate.

Jake had asked me earlier if I'd want to go to the 1:30 session at Bountiful Temple with him.  My Grandma and Grandpa would be conducting the session so Jake wanted to be able to go with me before he left.  I accepted the invite so after class on Friday I called my boss to ask for the day off.
I must say it was an awesome experience.
So happy for you Jake, you are such an example to me!
