Lucky Woman...

Ok so during relief society today we talked about Joseph Smith and his family! Well the chapter was mostly letters from him to Emma showing how much her cared, trusted, and loved her! He used the most amazing words! Over and over he said my heart is ENCIRCLED with love for you! Any way I just thought it was so sweet and endearing! I continually wished that we talked that way this day and age.  
...well later on I was sitting in sacrament thumbing through my scripture when I happened upon a letter from Trent.  I read through it! It was so cute and beautiful! I love him so much!  I figured it was from his mission but it was just signed T. I looked at the date and it was from May 2008! Some how he slipped it in my scriptures and I had no idea! Finding it today was just perfect! It was everything I was hoping for during the lesson in relief society! 
So THANK YOU TRENT!! I love you so much! You are such a sweetheart! 

No Comment...

Ok well my sister Heidi who lives in Michigan said I hadn't updated my blog in a while! Well there is not much to update! Same old same old!

General Conference Weekend!


Well as most of you know it was general conference weekend! For me it was a pretty amazing weekend. Last Sunday my bishop recommended that we try and visit the temple before conference to better focus our minds.  Trent and I were able to go on Wednesday night. It was crazy how busy the temple was that evening.  But I am glad we went.
On Saturday morning I woke up wide awake at 10:00am on the DOT!! I was so amazed how awake I was! It made me excited to turn on conference. I knew this was because I had attended the temple that week to prepare for conference.  I really enjoyed Elder Perry's talk.  He spoke on so many things but one of the things that I can't get out of my head is dressing modestly for the Lord.  Not only wearing clothing that covers your body but also wearing clothing that doesn't flaunt your money or make you feel a certain way.  I think all of us need a good reminder of what to wear and not to wear.
Another talk on Saturday that I loved was President Uchtdorf.  Lately he seems to be talking a lot about having JOY in all that we do.  I have tried to take that to heart and truly find joy in everything.  I am trying hard no to argue or get to frustrated with things. It has helped me change my outward look on life. 

This weekend was also really fun because I was able to go spend it with the Young's in Park City.  It was great to feel apart of the family.  I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for inviting me.  I enjoyed being with Trent all weekend and being able to share in the spirit of conference with him and his family. Thanks again! 
On Sunday again I woke up wide awake but this time it was at 8:30am. No one else was awake, so I was able to enjoy a quiet few hours on my own writing in my journal and just reflecting. I know that because I listened to my bishop and his guidance that I got a lot more out of this weekend than I usually do over conference.  

I am so grateful to the Lord for allowing us to listen to the prophets voice and to get guidance from his councilors. It is truly amazing that we have this gospel and the knowledge of having a living prophet. I love the Lord and  I LOVE CONFERENCE! I say these things in the name of my brother, friend, and SAVIOR Jesus Christ Amen. 

Life in the MAKING! !
