Fall is my favorite time of year!
Christ is my Saviour, my redeemer, and my bestest best friend
When we do hard things-we get blessings we don't expect.
Tender mercies are all around us.
Families are forever.
People are beautiful.
I'm gonna be an aunt real soon!
To be anxiously engaged in a good cause is good for the soul-yeah Heavenly Father said to do it, but if you do it, you will be happier. The more you give of yourself for this good cause, the more you lose yourself in it, the happier you will be.
Gods plan is perfect, God plan is complete, God plan is THE plan of happiness.

Busy Busy Busy
My weekend, was busy-but Oh SO Wonderful with my Wonderful home! It stinks having to say goodbye everynight-but I like having him around. And we've entered this phase in our relationship where though I still feel pretty clingy-I think I can handle going about and doing my agenda while he tends to his. We love eachother-but we don't have to be connected at the hip to survive the day. I only got to see him for a quck lunch at my house this morning-but still had a very good and productive day! I got all the chores my mom requested done, made a dentist appointment, relaxed, ate good food, and Helped maggie pack up and ship out! She's off to Denver right now for a quick layover before headed on to Salt Lake City-I'm gonna miss her! She was an awesome VT companion and Sunday School teacher and just all around lovely person. I wish her the best on her next adventure-and kinda wish I could drive across country....but ah well. I have my own adventures here.
:) With that, I plan on tomorrow being productive as well-Gonna wake up early even though I don't have to and go to the dentist, then read my Medical Terminology book-and if Travis has his agenda taken care of, spend the evening with him. Life is grand!

Long hard good day!
I must be honest, I feel guilty sitting to do this, but if I don't write it down I'm gonna forget. Today was tough, but oh so enriching.
I started by going to the house of a special person in my life. She has some health problems and I go up to visit her weekly, take her to appointments and just try to make her day a little brighter-I must admit its tough. And her house is a mess-but when you give of yourself for someone else, you get so much more in return. I can't go into detail because of respect of privacy, but this is sufficient.
Anyways, then I went visiting teaching. I was already exhausted, but I enjoy the company of my RS sisters so much-that quote Krystal Duval always throws at us about whenever two or more women are joined together there will be fun-idk I might have just butchered it, but today it took new meaning. Its just SO fufilling to think about them for a little while. I wasn't worried about my problems, or what I was going to do afterwards, just sincerely invested in them-at the end I'm still tired but feel so much more blessed than you could ever imagine, not only for my associations with them, but also for my wonderful family and all that I have.
Such as my testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ. The strength I've had and the aid I've received as I've overcome my trials. I'm so glad for a warm CLEAN home (even though there may be clutter, its all superficial, there were some places I went today that I really wished I could have cleaned, but at the same time it was jsut too overwelming). One person I got to see today-it was so sweet, her and her family don't have much, but they have eachother. They were so kinda and loving to oneanother. It makes me think about my family, and how dear they are to me. Several times on the radio that song "Live like you were dying" came on-and theres that one like that asks "How come we don't say 'I love you' enough?" I know I don't say it enough. I want to change that. Be more loving and concerned at home. So when I did get home, guess what, the spirit of serving had overcome me and I told my mommy to go to the store-cuz she asked about me watching the babies earlier-and I totally wasn't willing to. So now she's there and all I wanna do is tiddy up the house and help by cooking dinner. And I'm craving nobakes. I don't think there can be anything as good as a nice clean home with the aroma of fresh baked dinner and goodies to enjoy them in.
Also, usually I'd be really frustrated that just as soon as my mom left the baby woke up, but today, I'm just glad he's such a cuddle monster. And that Elyse is so funny! While I was hugging her she exclaimed: "Be careful, you'll break my neck and I'll throw up again!"
