Ok lets go back to the night before. My mom was ironing my temple clothes, and we started talking about the events that would take place the next day. I was anxious and nervous and excited. I had never asked her to be my escort I just always assumed she would. I asked her if she would, and she answered yes. The next day I woke up so happy. As we drove to the temple my nerves were calmed and I realized how great a blessing I would be receiving. When I saw the cute white haired lady just passed the recommend desk I knew she would be the one to help me through it all, and my eyes began to fill with tears. Sister Shelton is the the sweetest lady I know, she was in my ward, and if I could have picked who helped me, I would have picked her.
One of my favorite parts about the temple was seeing junk for the first time upstairs. It just made it all seem even more right. Well with out too much detail the session was beautiful. And while it may seem odd... after I thought about the clothing and special blessing it all seemed like something I have been doing my whole life.
The celestial room was my favorite. Tears of Joy were present in almost everyone. I had been preparing to enter the house of the Lord and receive my endowments for a long time and standing in the most sacred room with family close by just made it even more rewarding and showed me really how important the temple is.
And sad to say I haven't been back. Maybe I'll go early in the morning.
