We had an awesome time for the 4th of July in Fountain,in 2007. We did not have any family members that were close to us at the time living near us, so we decided to spend the fourth at the park, grilling and taking pics. OK so we took more pics than any thing else. But the main idea was to spend time with family,right? We loved every minute of it. We took the kids around Fountain Mesa Park to look at birds and ducks. They feed them and played in the field as well. It was a joyous day. We especially had fun later that night when we watched the fireworks in New York being set off. We had the missionaries over for dinner shortly before watching the fireworks. We had a fun time talking about what independence means to us and expressed our feelings of gratitude for having a nation that conforms to Independence.The fourth of July is like Christmas to my husband. He really enjoys seeing the children's faces when they light up with amazement, when they watch the fireworks. However, Austin was really bummed this year because we did not get any fireworks. In the state of Colorado we can not light fireworks due to it being so dry. Although Austin did not get to light fireworks this year, he was very grateful to have been able to watch them being set off on T.V with his family.

Fourth Of July 2007

Our Eternal Family

What soever ye shall seal on earth shall be sealed in heaven. D&C 132:46

Getting sealed in the Denver Temple for time and all eternity to my children and spouse was not only a sacred event, but a glorious blessing. We have had so many blessings since moving to Colorado. The most joyous blessing was getting sealed. It is a peaceful feeling knowing that your children, no matter what happens to you or them in this life, will be with you in the heavens for all eternity. I can not express my grattitude enough for the lord for all his has given me, and all that he has continued to bless me with. I have been given not only an immediate family but an extend one as well, for time and eternity. What more can a girl ask for. Diamonds? Rubbies? I testify to you that all the diamonds and rubbies in the world can not replace the feelings I experience when being with and enjoying my family, and that feeling is increased ten fold when I think of the wonderous blessing of having them forever. On this special and sacred day we got to experience this joyous event with friends and family whom I have come to love and respect deeply. I am so proud to say that I have an eternal family.

Who is Teameaka Ray Grover?

I have been striving, lately, to change aspects about myself to match those qualities and characteristics that our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ have. Although I am no true exalted saint yet, I can see the Lord molding me each day into the woman I am destined to become.I have a profound love for my savior and his gospel. My heart is with my Heavenly Father and his son Jesus Christ, the Latter Day Saints church of Christ, my family, and my education, in that order. I am grateful to be a member of the lord's true church and sharing his glorious message to those I meet. So who is Teameaka actually? I am a DIVINE DAUGHTER OF GOD! I am a mother, a wife, and a sister. Simply put I am Teameaka Ray Grover. "I know who I am and I know God's Plan, I'll follow him in faith."
