Temple Trip

I only have a few minutes until Andi picks me up so I'll make it quick. I got to go to the temple today. I was so excited to go, I wish I could go everyweek, the feeling of peace there is like no other place.  I still feel the spirit and am just so happy I could do the lords work. I walked the temple grounds after doing baptisms and was amazed once again by the beauty there. Today I thought how cool it is that I was able to go the lords house, to think that only truly clean people on the inside and out can enter just adds to the beauty and spirit of the temple.  I love going to the temple because it reminds me of how I need to be living my life.  Sometimes in the rush of my life I forget whats important, and today I had such a feeling of peace and happiness reminding me of the lord and how I need to be preparing for the second coming... no one knows when it will be, but to think that it is soon, made me think of the people in the Book of Mormon and Bible who were so excited for the lord to come, and how they prepared for years... and then I thought, I am in a similar situation... to think that I, just like those in the Book of Mormon and Bible get to spend my life preparing for the lord to come... well it is amazing.  This year I am really trying to make the lord a big part of my life... read my scriptures and pray every night, and take notes in seminary so I can get something from it... and it is making such a BIG difference, the spirit is with me and I have such a feeling of peace that everything will work out.  Anyways I'm just so glad I got to go to the temple today, it really reminded me of why I am here :)  Just thought  I'd share my experience:)

Church, Friends, and my mom:)

Well I'll be 18 in two days... and I have decided to go to relief society. I think I will get a lot more out of church if I'm in relief society and don't joke around. Plus I want to go to Gospel Doctrines with Andi when he comes to church with me. So tonight is my last mutual. It's bittersweet cause I won't be going with the youth anymore... but i'm moving on to the next step in my life.
I've found out lately that when I open up my mouth and talk, i make a lot of friends... if only i had known this my first 18 years lol. I miss my bestie Haley so much... I wish she was here with me so I could share my exciting life with her like I used to. She is my other half and I can't wait till our next girl time lol. My life has changed so drastically in the last month it is unbelievable! I never would have thought that I would be where I am today and that any of this would be happening. For those of you who don't know... i've met myself a dream guy. He is better than me actually and really respectful and he just rocks my world:) As for my mom... I just thought I'd let you all know that I love her to death:) She has such a sweet spirit and I'm proud that I can call her my mama. As I reach my 18th year I have to say she has done a pretty good job raising me right, ya'll can say what you want but I KNOW that my mama is the best one out there and a blessing in my life =D  Thats all for now... have a terrific day!
