 radio on. I couldn't resist singing along and missing George as I did. Ever since George had gotten his license, he and I had sung to the radio as loudly and often as dreadfully as we could. Now I listened as Mark picked up a harmony and Rebekah joined me on the melody. It was just like riding with George except they actually sounded good. We giggled and tapped the beat out on the seats and steering wheel as we rode down the dark highway.

We could see the Provo temple before we even reached town as it shined against the dark mountain. We drove up around it and I enjoyed the site as much as Rebekah who was seeing it for the first time. Mark turned the radio off and we sat parked for a minute just looking. Mark grabbed Rebekah's hand. "It won't be long and you will get to go inside."

"Inside again, you mean."

"You've been here before?"

"This is the temple where I got sealed to Mom and Dad. Christian and Mark were sealed in this temple too."

"Wow, it must be really neat to see it again."

"It isn't as big as I remember."

"That's because you're a lot bigger now. You were only three the last time."

"I bet you were so cute in your little white dress. Did you guys take pictures?"

"Sure, Mom has a whole wall of pictures at home. One family picture for each sealing."

"How many have there been?"

"Well there was Mark. Christian and I would make two. Then there was Caleb... three. Micah and Anna make four."

I counted in my head and thought about the names I'd heard tonight. "What about Ruth?"

"Oh, she wasn't adopted."

"Really?"

"She's our little miracle." Mark added with a fond smile.

"You're just saying that because you don't have to live with her. She's been so whiny lately." This made Mark laugh and he messed Rebekah's hair again. I was relieved because Rebekah's comment made me feel better about my own family. Up 'til now I was wondering how the Coles managed to be so perfect.

We sat for a few moments in silence just enjoying the Spirit of the temple grounds.

We giggled and tapped the beat out on the seats and steering steering wheel as we rode down the dark highway. 

 We could see the Provo synagogue before we even reached town as it fall against the benighted mountain. We force up around it and I enjoyed the site as a lot as Rebekah who was seeing it for the first time. Mark turned the radio off and we sat parked for a hour just looking. Mark grabbed Rebekah's hand. " It won't be long and you will get to go inside. " 

 " Inside again, you mean. " 

 " You've been here earlier? " 

 " This is the temple where I got sealed to Mom and Dad. Christian and Mark were seal in this synagogue too. " 

 " Wow, it must be really neat to see it again. " 

 " It isn't as big as I remember. " 

 " That's because you're a lot boastful now. You were only three the last time. " 

 " I bet you were so cunning in your little white dress. Did you guys take pictures? " 

 " Sure, Mom has a unharmed wall of pictures at home. One family picture for each waterproofing. " 

 " How many have there been? " 

 " Well there was Mark. Christian and I would make two. Then there was Caleb... three. Micah and Anna make four. " 

 I counted in my head and thought about the names I'd heard tonight. " What about Ruth? " 

 " Oh, she wasn't assume. " 

 " Really? " 

 " She's our fiddling miracle. " Mark added with a fond smile. 

 " You're merely saying that because you don't suffer to live with her. She's been thus whiny recently. " This made Mark laugh and he messed Rebekah's hair again. I was relieve because Rebekah's comment made me feel better about my own family. Up' til now I was wondering how the Coles managed to be so perfect.
