Last night Todd and I went to this awesome building right here. If you are wondering what it is, it's the St. George Temple. This is where we were married. It holds a lot of really awesome memories and stories for us. I just want you all to know, that I absolutely love this building and what it has to offer. If you don't know anything about this building I would STRONGLY suggest that you find out as much as you can without actually going inside of it. I think that it is absolutely beautiful. We were able to do sealings a few weeks ago. (Go to www.lds.org if you are lost at this point) Notice the middle windows. Pretty sure I was sitting right inside of the top middle window. I was actually looking outside of it at some people taking pictures of the temple. I was waiting for Todd and I started to think to myself, I can't believe that I'm here. It is amazing what power goes on in the temples. Just so everyone knows, I KNOW that Heavenly Father loves each and every one of us. He knows our names and he knows our needs. All we need to do is humble ourselves and reach our potential. We have so much to do and so much to work for, we just need to endure!

Weird Things About Being Married

Ok so I'm sure that you're all sick of me going on about being married and how happy I am. But I'm just so excited about it so I'll try to cut back after this. There have been a few things that have come to my attention about being married and how different it is from being single. Talking to a lot of my single friends really help me realize that. Lately some friends of mine that are of the male gender have been coming up to me trying to give me hugs. Since I'm married, basically that's the last thing I want to do. I know that it's probably innocent on their part but I can't do that anymore. That part of it doesn't really bother me, it's the fact that I feel very uncomfortable around guys, and I don't want ANY phsycial contact with any of them is what bothers me. I've never felt this way, but I think this is the way I should feel. Todd has even talked to a couple of guys because it gets to me so much, and he just doesn't go up and talks to people like that. It's weird, I know! Another weird thing, how I feel so inadaquate when I'm alone. I feel like I'm a missionary or something with companion envy. Seriously! The other day I went to Wal-mart to pick up some groceries. I went by myself which I didn't think was going to be that big of a deal but when i got there I kept thinking, I wish that Todd was here so I could ask him whether or not he would want this or not or what kind he would want. It was the first time I had been to Wal-mart with out him in probably 6 months. Strange, I know! I'm not complaining about marriage at all! It's just adjusting to what has happened. I am so happy and he is so awesome! He treats me GREAT! I seriously couldn't ask for anything better than my wonderul husband! I love him so much and I know that he loves me back. It's crazy but it's so worth it!

The Emperor's New Groove!

It's my birthday present to me! I'm so happy! So basically I love this movie as all of you do as well and I just thought I'd put a shout out to the happiness of this movie!

Oh an my last one is balloons and bright colors! It also represents birthdays and parties! So just so you know, these are a few of my favorite things. When the dog bites, when the bee stings, when I'm feeling sad, I simply remember a few of these things and then I don't feel so bad! (Guess what movie!)

Babies

So I was looking at pictures of babies at work today since I really don't have anyting else better to do. I was looking and they were all so cute. I decided to put them up in honor of Katelyn and all the other mothers out there. I wish that every child could be cared for and loved by two wonderful parents. They are truly pure love from our Heavenly Father and someday I hope to be holding my own in my arms.

Zion Nation Park

I saw this and it basically took my breath away. Isn't that gorgeous? That is only like an hour from my doorstep.. how awesome is that?

Are YOU happy?

So today I was walking across campus on my way to work. I had just finished with choir so I was in a pretty good mood. I had a smile on my face and as I walked I noticed more and more that people around me weren't so happy. They looked stressed or disgruntled. Or even that I'm not happy to be here look. Some looked depressed just for the sake of looking depressed. What in the world is going on, I thought to myself. Why is everyone so sad? Was it because I've just been on a cloud for the past 4 months. Or was it because they just hated life? What was it? Then I thought, I wish that these people could be as happy as I feel. Why do I feel this way? Well I was thinking and I thought, ya know, Todd really helps me live the way I should. He is always reminding me of my prayers and scripture reading and good music and serving others, many many different things. Is it because of the gospel? I had just left the institute and people seemed pretty happy there. What in the world was going on? Basically, I was confused.

Then I realized that life is given to us by our wonderful Heavenly Father. He gives us all that we have. EVERYTHING! We should be happy for the things that he simply just gives to us. Such as the beauty of the earth. The friends that we have. Even if we don't have friends, we have our Heavenly Father. That is enough to be happy. I think a lot of people aren't noticing him. Why don't they notice? Is it because they don't want to? Maybe. I think about how I used to be when I was younger (Like 10-12). I was pretty happy. I knew about the gospel and for the most part, I believed in it. Then when I got older, I got into trouble. I did things I shouldn't have done and I learned that life wasn't as happy when you do stupid things like I did. Now when I look back at those times, I truly don't remember ever being happy. But in the times when I was very active in the gospel and doing what I should have been, I WAS VERY HAPPY. I can hardly contain how happy I am. I can feel the spirit and I go through out my day. It's wonderful. Heavenly Father blesses us so much. If we just keep the commandments and stay true to what we have been taught, life can be so sweet. Think about the things that make you happy. If you can't think of anything, maybe it's time to change your perspective. Look at things, other than yourself (that means you too Miranda) and see how you can help someone brighten their day and show love to those who might be in need.
