heaven on earth

Matt and I have felt strongly lately that we needed to go to the temple.  Tonight we finally were able to get a babysitter, so we went to the Draper temple.  While inside, I reflected on the day that I received my own endowment.  I remember that all of my family was there, including Matt's parents and sisters, as well as their husbands.  I was asked to wait while the rest of them went on into the Celestial Room.  When my turn finally came, I clearly remember walking into the Celestial Room at the San Diego, CA temple and looking up to see all of my loved ones there, dressed in white, with arms outstretched to hug and greet me.  I remember thinking 'this must be what heaven is like.'  As I sat in the Celestial Room tonight I thought of my loved ones waiting, dressed in white, with arms outstretched to greet me in heaven when my turn comes, only now when I picture that day, I picture Miles there too.  I could feel the spirit so strongly tonight, and I know that Miles was close by.
