I thought I would cry the whole time, but I didn&#8217;t.  I was just very happy that we have a son who is worthy to go through the temple, and who is willing to the serve the Lord and the people of West Virginia.  Happy.<\/p>\n<p>We had originally thought we would go out to dinner after the session, but then we thought twice about that.  How about frozen yogurt instead?  <\/p>\n<p>So, after the temple, we went back home and got the kids, who deserved a break after babysitting (Megan told me the kids were pretty wild and crazy), and went over to our local frozen yogurt shop, Orange Leaf. <a href=\"http:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1023.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1023-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"1023\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7624\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1023-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1023-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a> It&#8217;s one of those serve yourself places, and while I always make sure my own kids don&#8217;t load up on too much yogurt and toppings (try not to be greedy, right?) I cannot control how others load up those huge yogurt cups.  Ryan insisted we pay for everyone, and I was a little shocked at the price of yogurt for that many people.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1028.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1028-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"1028\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1028-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1028-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>But, we had a nice time socializing with the family and friends who had come to share this special evening with us.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1014.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1014-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"1014\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1014-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/paige.ericksonfamily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/05\/1014-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So proud of my son and excited for the next two years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saturday we were finally able to go to the Temple with Cole.
