Goin' to the Temple and we're goin' to get married!

On May 1st, Bill and I will be going to the Mount Timpanogos Temple to be sealed for all time and eternity. It has been a long road, but we are finally getting there. I am way excited to finally make those sacred covenants with my Heavenly Father. I am also very excited that it will occur in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. I have been in love with that temple since I walked through it during the open house back in 1996.

It will also be very nice to have family and friends there to support us in our decision. I know this is what my Heavenly Father wants us to do and we will be blessed because of it. Thank you to all who have been there for Bill and I as we make this next step in our marriage. We appreciate you all! Until next time...

Done Counting (on here)

Okay, the final 10 things I am grateful for.

1. A variety of food, I could not eat the same thing over and over again

2. Indoor plumbing, I would hate to have to use an outhouse all the time, YUCK!

3. Toilet paper, who wants to use leaves or your hand?

4. Scriptures, words to live by

5. Makeup, some days you just don't feel like being yourself

6. Candy, I love candy it makes me happy (unless I eat too much and then I get a tummy ache)

7. Fresh produce, nothing tastes better than fresh fruits and vegetables

8. Airplanes, sometimes you just don't want to drive 3 days to get to a destination

9. Telephones, they allow us to hear our loved ones voices

10. A home because it is more than a house

Until next time...

And Still Counting

I know, I know, I have been really bad. I get going and forget to post what I am grateful for. I am in bed and suddenly I remember. Bad excuse, I know. It's just like life when we forget to remember what we are grateful for and focus on everything else. So here goes, 20 things I am grateful (today and yesterday combined).

1. Flat Irons, they help tame my straight yet wavy hair

2. Sleep, it is a wonderful thing

3. Priesthood blessings, they calm the nerves and the soul

4. Music, it takes you to a whole other world

5. Cushioned chairs, my rear end really appreciates them

6. Payday, who doesn't like getting money, even if you did have to work for it

7. Lazy Sunday afternoons when I can just spend time relaxing with Bill and the dogs

8. Family, they are supportive and there when you need them

9. Blankets, they keep me cozy warm

10. Free lunches, who doesn't like a free meal

11. Blinds, some days you just want to shut the world out

12. Hard workers, without them, nothing would get done

13. Recipes, I am not creative enough to come up with things on my own

14. Pillows, they are nice to rest your head on and snuggle with

15. Soccer, sometimes you just need to kick something

16. Carpet, it makes walking around barefoot a little more comfortable

17. Gum, if you have ever smelled someones bad breath, you know why

18. Air fresheners, they make some rooms a little more pleasant

19. Scissors, imagine if we had to tear everything

20. Electric windows, I hated having to roll my car windows up and down (I know, I'm lazy)

Until next time...
