For once

Jaren's wedding was yesterday and the gang (Barbara, Kenny, Robert, and I) went up to St. George for the reception. We ended up getting there for the last 30 minutes of it, but that was alright with me. This weekend something struck me. For once I wasn't worried or thinking about mine and Robert's future together. I felt...at ease about it and where we are going.
Last night I just got to enjoy being with him and trying to soak in every moment together. I love that man and it is so wonderful to feel comfortable and confident in my relationship.
Just a quick post before I go to bed. I will post more details from Thanksgiving/ this weekend later!

This world needs a change for the better. This song describes it beautifully.

Part of Me

Me and the Bestie at our Favorite Temple

There can never be enough words to describe the happiness I feel when at the St. George Temple. It was the first one I ever went to and I have just no way to explain the sheer joy I feel just LOOKING at it! Thursday Barbara and I were in St. George (of the potatoes :D) and we stopped by and got to see the Jospeh Smith movie and talk  with the Sister Missionaries. One of them even took a couple photos for us (see above photo). It was such a testimony builder to see the new movie and to walk temple grounds.

We even went to the BrighamYoung Winter Quarters and got the full tour of the grounds there as well. We had been driving by and I being the history buff I am, just HAD to park and go in. Sister Collings took us around and let me tell you it was moving. I got to eat some mint leaves and pick cotton from the gardens there and I got to walk the very floors the prophet had walked so many years ago! The building is beautiful and the Church has done an amazing job restoring it.

Next week we are going to the Tabernacle(fingerscrossed) and perhaps another building. We both are private with our faith, but we both are working on being more open. We are both dating (amazing) guys who are not of the same faith. Us ladies aren't exactly "Molly Mormons" but our faith is an important part of our makeup. We aren't looking to convert our guys, but we want them to know just how much we love our religion.

I am proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know it is a true church and I know that being baptized some almost four years ago was NOT a mistake. I love gospel and I love being LDS.

How I feel

This is a wonderful time to be on earth. While there is much that is wrong in the world today, there are many things that are right and good. There are marriages that make it, parents who love their children and sacrifice for them, friends who care about us and help us, teachers who teach. Our lives are blessed in countless ways. - Thomas S. Monson, The Divine Gift of Gratitude, General Conference, Oct 2010
