So Mirella and I are approx.  18 days away from seeing each other again, and about 23 days from being sealed for time and all eternity.  That's a pretty good feeling.  We've only been waiting for 4 months (5 if you count the time since I told her I wanted to marry her)  Now we've just got these few weeks left.  I thought it was going to take forever, but now that our family is dealing with the fire and Mirella has to get ready to host her parents at her apartment, and be ready to finish the new semester and be ready to move into a new apartment in two weeks, things are really speeding by quickly.  The picture you see here is almost ok to be a representation to what happened to our back yard.  The only thing missing is a picture of the hill and canyon.  They were burnt to a crisp.  God is in his heaven, though, and preserved our home - which by almost all accounts simply does not make sense if you look at it from a perspective from which God is not considered.
