A SPECIAL FAMILY OCCASION!

Yesterday, August 4th, 2011 my sister Heather was married to her husband Troy Wynn in the Provo Temple.


These 2 are such a special couple because they waited many years to find each other. Everyone in both families were married and started their families much earlier than these two, but they were patient and kept searching, until yesterday all their waiting had finally paid off.



It was also very special to both families because after they were married, both families were able to say that every person in their family was married in the temple. Not very many people can say that, so that holds a special place in my heart. The joy in my parent's eyes (their "happy tears" as they would call it) was priceless. I have never seen them so proud of their children than they were yesterday. It made all the temptations and stresses in the world seem powerless for a while because I knew that we were where we should be. I am extremely grateful for my parents' and older siblings examples in my life that has kept me on the right path. I know life isn't easy or fun sometimes, but it's those kinds of experiences that puts life back into the right perspective and helps me realize our purpose here on earth is so worth it!


Thornock Family- minus Stacy and Jake's family (We missed you)




Both Families...





I am so grateful for my BEAUTIFUL, oldest sister.




I am so happy to have another member in the family to add to our Thornock clan! I am so glad we didn't scare him off with all the craziness of 16 grandchildren and 7 other couples in the family. We are so excited to have him in our family and can not wait to get to know him better throughout the years.

(Almost ALL of Heather and Troy's neices and nephews)



This was SO wrong to do at the Temple... but we just HAD to cool off somehow... it was a very hot day.



Congratulations Heather and Troy, we are SO happy for you guys! Welcome to the family Troy.
