29 December 2004 and all that has followed..

Journal 17 October 2004:

"The birth and discovery of eternal love is a union of hearts that proves indestructible through life and death. It is the joy of our existence- And I found that in Ben."

Journal 29 December 2004:

"Today was the greatest day of my life. At 6:25 am I was in the temple waiting to be married. I was sealed to Benjamin Keahi Kamalu at 7:40 am by Elder Dunn. Off to pictures, brunch, reception, and ....THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER."

Journal 12 January 2004:

"When you posess true love and the responsibility of someone's heart, you have the highest joy afforded to mankind- Even if you are eating peanut butter sandwiches and praying for sunshine."
