Such a good day

My "little Willis" Madison got baptised last month I can't believe she's already 8 it seems like just yesterday she was a little baby. David and I are so proud of her she is such a cute, loving, sweet, caring girl. We love her so much. That same day my cute little Niece Ainsley was blessed she is so adorable. Even though she is so little she is already her own little person and so different than her brother and sister. I have the cutest little nieces in the world (this includes our little niece Laurie). We love them all so much.

David was so glad when Madie asked him to baptise her

Brigham City Temple

I was able to go with David's family a few weeks ago to the Brigham City Temple open house. It was such a beautiful temple. The temple had a peach theme throughout which I really liked. My niece and nephews came too and behaved so well, I was really impressed with them. I love going to temples they are so gorgeous and the spirit that you can feel when you are there is so strong. This last Sunday was the dedication. I loved hearing President Packer he is such a great man, and has such a strong testimony. David and I have a goal to participate in an endowment session at all the temples in Utah. Which we understand will take a while considering there are so many temples in Utah. Hopefully it won't take too long for us to complete this little goal of ours. 

So proud of my hubby!

On April 29th David was ordained a High Priest & he is now the 2nd Counselor in the Bishopric. He had a lot of support from both of our families that day. David's parents and siblings came my parents, grandparents, my sister's family and my aunt came to our sacrament meeting and then stayed to see him be set apart. I am so grateful for our families support. Everyone keeps saying that he is going to be very busy, but he's been the Executive Secretary for the past 3 months so I don't think it could be to much busier than that...at least I hope not. David is a little nervous about it but I think he will do a wonderful job. I love you David and I am so proud of you, you are such a good example for me and I'm so glad to have you in my life.

Friday the 13th....

David and I just got married on May 13Th, which happened to be on Friday the 13Th this year. Most everyone thought we were crazy, but hey if you ask me we couldn't have picked a more beautiful day. Being able to be sealed to David for Time and all Eternity is the greatest feeling ever The weather was gorgeous and the whole day was fantastic! My whole family helped so much it would not have been such a success without them (not just the Bona's but the Taggart's too). I am so greatful to have such a big support system. I am so happy to say that I am now Melissa Rae Taggart (well almost I just need to get a new drivers license and then its official).
Here are a few pictures of the big day:

A very good day....

I was able to go through the Jordan River Temple on Saturday. It was such a great experience. I loved every minute of it and yes I cried like a baby the whole time, but hey thats just the Bona genes in me. I am so lucky to have support from all of my family as well. I am so greatful to have the gospel in my life, I don't know where I would be without it.

Going to the Chapel of Love....

Well its now official, I'm getting married!!! And I couldn't be happier. I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. David has been such a blessing for me in my life. He is such a gentleman and he treats me so well and is overall a very good influence for me in my life. I love him so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with him. Plus like I've said before he's a very handsome guy which is a pretty good bonus if you ask me :)

Temple pictures

Here are the pictures from the open house. We made perfect timing it started raining right as we were leaving.

Oquirrh Mountain Temple Open House

A few weeks ago I was able to go to the open house of the new temple with my mom, Natalie and Madison. It was so gorgeous inside I really loved that the temple had a star theme throughout it. It was also such a good opportunity for Maddie she loved it the whole time her eyes were just wide and she was smiling so big. Was was sad though that Angel Moroni hurt his arm and was very concerned and worried for him it was so cute. I really was glad that I got the chance to go to the open house and can't wait until I am able to go through the temple someday. Thanks mom it was a lot of fun.
