Weekend Inspiration

Last weekend I got to celebrate the eternal progress of these two incredible people.

.

My cousin met the girl of his dreams and married her in the Logan temple. I love them both dearly and am so excited for them.

.

Plus, I better get eternal points out of the deal because if it weren't for me who knows if he would have ever gotten his act together and asked her for her number :D

.

And I have to share! This picture was the highlight of my night!

They are simply inspirational.

Good thing I'm going on a mission, otherwise, I'd have to work on finding me that cowboy.

I thought it was time...

To introduce you to my family!

I tried to make these as accurate as possible.

.

Dad: The work, work, work balding, "can't see a thing" most incredible man I know

Mom: The classy one who "can't see a thing" either that keeps our family together... and sane

Me: The cowgirl favorite oldest sister (and daughter) angel

Ry: The pirate/fireman costume should say it all

DP: The 17yr old teenager beauty drama queen

Bugs: The one who is taller than his older sisters and is going to be as big as a pro football player one day

Peaches: The twirling strawberry-blonde emotional bundle of energy

.

That's my family! And I love them!

Always...

Ha ha! Sometimes I'm sure the Lord thinks we're not very good with our arithmetic either! :)

Especially myself! So I set a goal to write down ten things I'm grateful for everyday!

Temples

Why we build them:

Why I love them:

Elder Bednar last conference said:

The Lord declared, “I must gather together my people, . . . that the wheat may be secured in the garners to possess eternal life, and be crowned with celestial glory” (D&C 101:65).
Within the sound of my voice are many young women, young men, and children. I plead with you to be worthy, to be steadfast, and to look forward with great anticipation to the day you will receive the ordinances and blessings of the temple.
Within the sound of my voice are individuals who should have but have not yet received the ordinances of the house of the Lord. Whatever the reason, however long the delay, I invite you to begin making the spiritual preparations so you can receive the blessings available only in the holy temple. Please cast away the things in your life that stand in the way. Please seek after the things that are of eternal consequence.
Within the sound of my voice are individuals who have received the ordinances of the temple and for various reasons have not returned to the house of the Lord in quite some time. Please repent, prepare, and do whatever needs to be done so you can again worship in the temple and more fully remember and honor your sacred covenants.
Within the sound of my voice are many individuals who hold current temple recommends and strive worthily to use them. I commend you for your faithfulness and devotion.
I bear solemn witness that the fire of the covenant will burn in the heart of every faithful member of this Church who shall worship and honorably hold a name and standing in the Lord’s holy house.
