27 Days of Thankful #8 and #9!


Sorry I missed you guys yesterday...I had a wonderful weekend and have been basking in it...and sleeping! I don't know what my deal is but I am SO SLEEPY!


Wanna hear my thankfuls? Well, I missed Sunday. So here it is. I am so thankful for the experience I had on Saturday of taking my Young Women along with the Young Men to the temple to perform baptisms on behalf of those who have died. 2 of the girls, and 2 of the guys were going to the temple for their first time. There is nowhere on earth like it. It was wonderful to experience with them. I love my calling...I love my Young Women, and I love watching them make righteous choices. I want so much for them. It was also neat that while we were there, another group came in. They were from a special needs branch in the area, and it was so neat to see them so excited to have this experience. I loved Saturday!


Today I am thankful that my husband put up with me sleeping most of the morning...and he just hung out with Monkey until I decided to drag my sleepy butt outta bed. Then he was cool in the afternoon when I said I needed another nap! Again...don't know what my deal is today, but so glad Hubby was sweet about it and let me sleep!


Head on over to Amanda's if you want more 27 Days of Thankful!


And don't think I've forgotten...tomorrow you'll get all the dish on my fabulous night of So You Think You Can Dance! So make sure to tune in!

I tried to take a nap on Sunday and my hubs was too noisy around the house! He never lets me get a good nap in!

What a beautiful picture of the temple! And you're right - there is nothing like the feelings and experiences you get when being there. I love the temple and all it stands for!!!!!

I hope you're not getting sick! Take care of yourself.

Glad you got to go to the temple with your girls. I love to watch their faces during down time and see the Spirit of what they're doing sink in.

So is that "my" temple? :) Jordan River? Sometimes I forget that I was married there...it's a beautiful temple, but the truth is it was the only one open when we got married since it was over the holidays. haha I'm glad you have a great husband who supports you and let's you rest when you need to! Love the temple!

What a sweet hubby you have. Your body is probably still trying to recover from being sick. Take it easy.

That is so wonderful that you were able to take those young people to the temple. Such a special experience!

XOOx

Called To Serve

Detroit, Michigan.  That's where my boy will be serving for the next 2 years.  Perhaps he won't be right in the city the whole time. Perhaps he won't spend any time in the city at all.  But the Michigan, Detroit mission is where he has been called to serve. I don't think it has completely hit me yet.  It's not really possible to comprehend the reality of Kaden being 1,600 miles away for 2 solid years with only written contact except for the 2 times a year he will be able to call/skype home.  Like, I literally can't imagine what it will be like or how it will feel.  I'm sure it's going to be hard at times, that I'll miss him like crazy and just want to hear his voice.  We've always had a close relationship and we talk about anything and everything.  It's hard to imagine only speaking in person 4 times over the next two years. But there is absolutely no place I'd rather have him be, and nothing else I'd rather have him doing than ...

Hand Made for Fall - A party and a Giveaway!

I've been a busy girl! I have been wanting to do a giveaway for Fall, and when my fab friend Heidi revealed that her Monthly Craft Challenge for October would be Fall-themed crafts, I thought "YES! I will do a giveaway of Fall items - handmade by me!" So today I'm linking up with Heidi , and introducing my Handmade For Fall Giveaway as I show you what I've made for Heidi's party ! Sound good? First, a while back I showed you some coasters that I made, but it was clear back when I first started blogging, so I'm going to show you again with this new seasonal set! This idea has been floating around blog land, and I've seen several different variations. Here's how I do it. You will need: paper napkins, 4x4 ceramic tiles, 4x4 cork squares, MOD PODGE (what else?), sponge brushes (not shown), and polyurethane (not shown). Start by cutting your napkin down to a manageable size, slightly bigger than your tile. Next spread a layer of mod podg onto the t...
