Temple Day with Mallory

I love that the Gertson girls refer to me as their Pocket Sized Gam.  Not sure who started that.  I'm thinking it was Mallory but I could be wrong.  Doesn't really matter.  I just love that special name they've come up for me.  Being their Pocket Sized Gam is one of life's greatest blessings.  Being a grandmother, know matter the name, means the world to me.  Each granddaughter has their own way of greeting me, expressing love and filling a piece of my heart.  I am grateful for every moment with them.  One of my more special and tender moments is when I am in the temple with one of them.  Mallory and I try and go to the temple once a month.  We try and choose a different temple each time we go.  This month we did a session at the Taylorsville Temple.  We each took a name from my mother's ancestry.  It was a spiritual and tender time.  I love being in the temple with any of my children or grandchildren. 

I am grateful for every moment with Mallory and feel the love, so strongly, that she has for me, her Pocket Sized Gam, that she so fondly calls me.  Thanks Mallory, for helping me stay true to my covenants and experiencing the blessing of the temple.

The temple is a map for our lives and learning.  

After the session Mallory and I met Tucker and Neal for lunch.  So much fun.  We came back to the house and play games for a few hours until Mallory had to head home and Tucker had some work he had to get done.  What a great day!!
