This past Saturday my college roommate, Rachael, got married. She invited Stephen and I to attend her sealing in the Salt Lake temple. We were excited to go, but we weren't able to find a babysitter, so we decided that Stephen would stay in the waiting room with Zander while I went to the sealing. The night before I went to Rachael's bachelorette party and mentioned we couldn't find a sitter for Zander, and Rachael's sister, whom I just met that night, volunteered to take him for me so Stephen could join me. I graciously accepted her offer and told her I'd see her in the morning.
We set out for downtown an hour before we were supposed to be there to be sure we had plenty of time to find parking and Janessa, who was to watch Zander, and find our party inside. We were almost there when I remembered I forgot my recommend, so we had to turn around. We were, now, going to be late. We booked it back downtown, but we couldn't find Janessa anywhere, so I told Stephen he had to stay with Zander in the waiting room. I was kind of sad we couldn't go together, but at least Stephen came to the temple with me.
I went in and met the party, and ten minutes before we went to the sealing room I saw Stephen walk in. Surprised, I asked if Janessa found him. Stephen doesn't know Rachael very well and has never met her family, so I was curious how they found each other. He told me that a girl came up to him and asked what wedding he was here to see. He didn't know Rachael's last name so he just told her Rachael's wedding. She said his baby looks just like Christine, so you must be here for my sisters wedding. She had never seen Zander or Stephen before yet she was able to pick them out of a crowed waiting room just because she saw a connection between me and Zander. How awesome is that! We just met for the first time the night before and she pick out my baby in a huge crowd without ever meeting him because he looked like me. That's pretty awesome.
