One Busy Saturday

Saturday was so busy!!! We had so much to do and things that are happening this next few months.

Let's see, the day started off wrong. Logan forgot to finished setting the alarm clock and we ended up getting up over more than an hour. We was actually cutting it to two hours too. So we got up and Logan run to the bathroom and I made breakfast for us. As soon as I finished, I hurried up and jumped in the shower myself. We was suppose to be at our church building at 9:30am but we actually didn't get there until 10 o'clock. We are in the primary. We teach the sunbeams and we was practicing for the Primary Program that was today. (Because of the Primary Program I wasn't able to go to see Kaya's Homecoming talk...I felt bad. At least she understand why). We even got out of there late because they were having trouble getting the pizza there. And I am proud to say that I did not take a piece of pizza. Logan had a piece...I let him considering he has already lost 20 lbs from the last 2 1/2 months. We got home about 1 o'clock that afternoon.

As soon as we got home, we had to start getting ready to be a the temple by 1:30. Logan's sister Amanda was getting her endowments. Before getting there, we headed to subway and had a small lunch. We got there about 15 minutes earlier than planned and found out that Logan's mom left her camera at home. So we went to her house (which is 5 minutes away from the temple) and picked it up and was soon back at the temple. By the time we got back, it was time to head in. Amanda's good friend Jason and his mom came for it. It was really nice. Every one that came was us, Barbara, Carolyn, Amanda, Jason and his mom ( don't know her name yet).  I always seems to get experiences of some type of emotions whenever I go through a session or a sealing. With the recent struggles, I ask the Lord for help but I got something so surprising that I was so happy that I was crying to the point I had snot running everywhere. I was so embarrassed!!!!

I was able to clean up and was the last one out. As soon as we got out of the temple we took a few pictures for the experience. Amanda again told us about how her mom said to take a few pictures of us (Logan's Mom is always the one taking the pictures....so when we heard about this we were all surprised). Afterwards, we (Jason, Amanda, Carolyn, Barbara, Logan and I) went to Apple bee's for dinner. Later, Barbara dropped off Jason and ran to the store before meeting us back at her place. We than had brownies (fudge-like which is not Logan's favorite) and ice cream and Logan opened up his presents. He got a propane lantern and swiss rolls which I have asked if he could throw away but he has said that he will take his time eating them.

After that, we had to go and get my sister, Breanna and her step-brother Carl and watch them for a few hours which ended up like an extra hour. But we went to get Logan's present from me at petsmart. I'll write about that in the next post. We than we back to our place and played RockBand Lego. She really love that one. We played until we where so tired that all we can do was watch t.v. until her mom got here. Than off to bed! 

4th Anniversary

We didn't really get to do much for our anniversary this year due to the fact that part of my family was over. We almost forgot all about it and had planned on going to the Rexburg Temple since we have not been for a long time. I also wanted to eat there too...but I forgot that temple didn't have a cafeteria in it. I remember when we was first sealed there. It was so beautiful outside! I may just have to go thru my photos again.

Korey's and Stefanie's Wedding

Today was Korey's and Stefanie's Wedding. We all had a blast. I cried so hard when Korey was sealed to Stefanie. I was so happy for them. After the sealing they went to the front of the Temple and told pictures. I did a few myself also. I figure I may as well, because there were a lot of family that I have not seen in a very long time. After that, we all when our home and took naps...besides Logan and I. I was still finishing the wedding cake that day just so that I would not melt while we was outside. I finished putting on the fondant just in time to head over the park for the reception and finished the final touches on the cake. It turn out so great! I was surprised with myself. We than waited for the reception to start. For an hour Logan and I went around and was talking to family members and friends. After that hour, we than started dancing...well, not really. I only dance a few time within the first hour and than I thought "what the heck...my brother only gets married once" and walked out on the dance floor with my sisters. NOW, Logan was different on the other hand. He would only come on the dance floor until it was a slow dance with me. 

We really missed having Cale here with us. We all know that he would of been out on that dance floor with Korey and Stefanie to the very end of the night. We missed you so much!!!

Here are some pictures from the temple. I hope Everyone enjoys them.

Bountiful Temple

The weekend before Carolyn's wedding, we went and watch her get her endowments from the Bountiful Temple. Everyone who went was Barbara, Katlin, Logan and I. It was so different from the Idaho Falls Temple but it was special in it's own way. I love the view too! It was so green and colorful from all the flowers.

Joseph and Carolyn's Wedding

     Joseph's and Carolyn's Wedding was so pretty.

     The night before the Wedding, Logan, Barbara, Katlin, Amanda and I...with other family members went to the church building ready. It was so great to spend sometime the Logan's family. I was also very happy for Joseph. We got the reception area ready along with the Lunch-in for the family.

     It was a beautiful day! I was fulled with love and joy. Logan got to be a witness for his sister's sealing I thought that was very special for him. There where so many tears of joy in the room. Logan and I both testify that we knew his Father was there for the evidence even tho he passed away a few years ago. At one moment, I also felt someone hugging me for comfort. I love sealings. I reminds you very time what you promised not only to the Lord but your spouse.

   After the sealing, we all met outside and took lots of pictures! Katlin's sister was taking the pictures for the wedding. They all turned out great! We than went to the Lunch-in and got to meet everyone. Afterwards we had like 4 or 5 hours until the reception so I finished touching up the cake just in time for family pictures. Joseph and Carolyn loved your cake. I was really happy with the way it turn out. Somehow I got the yellow tint to the fondant which made the cake match the colors so much more.

     During the reception, I did a lot of running around helping here and there. Getting the bride and groom drinks or food. I also got to talk to some of David's brothers (Logan's dad). It was nice to see them all again. Plus all of the other family members and friends. It was a great day. ^-^

Here are some pictures:

Month of Many Blessings

This month as been fulled with so many blessings. I can pretty much tell you that it has been a great month for many reasons. Here is a list of the blessing that I've counted:

1. Korey coming home
2. My thyroid dosage drop twice in the last three months
3. My amazing and understanding doctor, Dr. Laramie Wheeler
4. My amazing and sweet husband, Logan
5. My family
6. My friends
7. The Lord and his many blessings
8. The Temple
9. My new family ward

There's so many things that I have been bless with this last month, that I can't count them all.There wasn't a thing that I would not take back last month. I happy to say that there will be many more blessings in stored for not only me but Logan and I. With the coming of Christmas season and the celebration of Jesus birth and the family time that come with it. Happy Holidays everyone.

Logan's Birthday

For Logan's birthday (which was October 28th) we didn't really much. He also didn't really want to do anything because he was busy with school, unfortunately. Since we didn't do much I made sure that I got him a present at least. I ended up get him a favorite movie from his childhood from Disney and considering his favorite holiday, I got him "A Nightmare Before Christmas". He really loves that movie because of a lot of reasons. He also got a fun card game from Nathan, Katlin and Natalie. He got a few happy birthday cards in the mail from a few family members from out of state.

We also had a great surprise visit too. Kristi stop by to say hi for a moment with her boyfriend, Brendan. It was sad that they couldn't stay and talk longer. It would been nice to finally get to know him and everything but than again we was also in a hurry to be somewhere.  ^_^

After they left we finish getting ready and headed over to the temple for a session that was very much needed (and to tell you the truth, it would be nice to go again soon). We also invited Barbara (Logan's mom) to come with his and I am happy that we did. It was nice to go through with family. It was also nice to go to the temple after 2 years (sad, I know and we should have gone more often but living out of town makes things a lot harder). After a session, we went downstairs and ate the delicious temple food!!! It's the second best part of about the temple in my opinion. ^-^ I loved the feeling of going with my husband and a family member. It was one of my high lights for the month. I hope we make another trip to the temple sometime soon. 

Day 9 & 10 of San Diego Vacation - San Diego Temple and Coming Home

For the last two day of our vacation, we didn't really do much. I got really sick on Saturday morning so we was only really able to go to see the San Diego Temple towards night time. It was beautiful even if we only got a few moments because we both read the bus shuttle wrong. So we ended up getting to the temple and back within 17minutes when we still had 30 minutes to look at the temple some more. I wasn't able to get many pictures at this temple but here is one of them. Even through we didn't get much

time to walk around, it was nice to see a new temple. This temple kind of remind me of the Salt Lake Temple in some ways. I love seeing all these temples.

Anyways, after we got back we decided to pack up most of our stuff besides what we needed the next day and getting ready for our long trip back to Idaho Falls, Idaho.

Sunday was a really long day not only because we were traveling back to Idaho but because we visited some family while we was in Utah. We stop by Logan's grandparents and one of his aunts to see how Nathan, Katlin and Natalie were doing since they moved to Utah. We started by getting ready for the day and waiting for the shuttle to take us back to the airport...which by the way, we was almost late getting there because the shuttle was taking so long to pick us up. We got through the airports really fast and we even arrived back in Utah 20 minutes early. Lucky for us Susan was there when we got off the plane. Anyways, we went back to Logan's grandparents and told them about our vacation. Soon after that we stop to see Nathan and everyone else. They were slowly getting used to the big city life. We didn't actually start leaving Utah until 8 or 9 o'clock after we stop and got some dinner. We arrive in Idaho Falls after one.

From the whole trip, I really loved the scene and the warm weather. It was so green and the ocean was so beautiful, too! I would love that kind of scene here but we wouldn't get as green. I already miss San Diego, even if it's a huge city. I can't wait until our next vacation!! Logan was told that we will be going to Puerto Rico in June for a whole week and all we have to pay for is my plane ticket there and back. I bet that it's going to be just as beautiful as San Diego.
