If you have been following me and my story you already know that I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I typically get a lot of questions about my religion and what I believe in, especially when I talk about getting sealed to Hudson.

For those who don’t know, in my religion, we believe that we can be a family forever… in this life and in the next. In order to be together forever, we have to be sealed as a family. 

 

When Jacob and I got married in the temple we did a special service where we kneeled across the altar in our temple clothes and made a promise to each other that we would commit to each other forever. We were sealed as a family for time and all eternity. In this life and in the next Jacob and I will be together, which is such an amazing thing.

Since Hudson wasn’t officially adopted by Jacob before we got married, he couldn’t be sealed to us on our wedding day. So it has been a big goal for us to make this happen as soon as possible. Unfortunately, we didn’t realize how expensive it was to go through the adoption process so we have been delayed for over a year now.

We are hoping that we can go through the adoption process in the next few months so that we can get sealed as a family for time and all eternity. It seriously gives me so much comfort that I can be with Hudson and Jacob forever! If everything goes to plan we are going to try to get Hud’s adoption finished and get sealed as a family by the end of December.

 

Temple Dresses

I was approached by ModWhite to try out their white temple dresses. I saw them on social media previously and fell in love with all of their dresses so I was super excited when they reached out to me.

If you are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints you’ll know just how important temple dresses are. When I got married I bought just a basic temple dress because I thought it was my only option. Luckily now when I get sealed to Hudson I will have so many options thanks to ModWhite.

ModWhite’s dresses are super comfortable and not to mention so much cuter than your basic temple dress. I have the White Poppy Dress and the White Bluebell Dress in a medium and I am obsessed. For all of my non-Mormon friends, you don’t have to be a member to get their cute dresses and they don’t need to only be worn in the temple.

 

Thoughts

I just want to clarify something and let you guys know that I truly LOVE all of ModWhite’s dresses and other products. I feel like I am a very transparent person and I will be very honest with you… I deny working with a lot of brands. If a brand approaches me and wants me to promote something but I don’t like their products, I will not promote them. I will always be real and promote only products that I use and love.

If you’re getting married, baptized, or wanting a white dress for any occasion ModWhite is the best option. They are the most modern temple dress company out there and I promise you will love all of their dresses. If you want to purchase from them use the code MAYCI15 for $15 off your purchases of $50 or more. 

Thanks for always supporting me, I love you guys! I am going to try to start getting blogs out every week again so if you have any topics in mind you want me to write about then let me know in the comments of this post! Also, if you know of a good adoption lawyer in Utah that can make my life easier please let me know!

 

Much Love,

Mayci J
