Logan Weekend!

It was so exciting to be able to travel again this weekend. I know it seems like there is always something new and fun every weekend. It has seemed that way for the past couple weekends. This one was no exception. On Friday night I spent the evening with my mom. We went out to dinner and played games because it was her birthday. Happy Birthday Mom! On Saturday morning, I took off for Logan to go see friends and to go to the temple there. It was so much fun seeing my friend Katie and her roomates and also my friend Jenny and her husband Zach. I spent the night at Jenny's new house which is way fun. They just bought it and are doing some great stuff with it.
On Saturday, Iwas able to go to the Logan temple by myself. I loved it. It was so nice to be there and to even be on the grounds of the temple. I did not know where I was going, but a nice girl in the session helped me out and was so nice to help me.
I want to thank everyone who helped make this weekend so much fun. You are all such great friends and I am so lucky to have you there. I had so much fun this weekend and look forward to spending more time in Logan, hopefully, in October.

"T" Time

The letter "T" stands for so many different things that are wonderful: tacos, tulips, trees, etc. However this "T" that I am mentioning is by far my favorite one. On Saturday I had the opportunity to spend some time in the Idaho Falls Temple. I love to be in there. It makes me so happy and ready to face whatever comes in the days and moments after. My friend, Katie, went through for the first time and it was great to be there for that. I miss the temple and wish that I could go more often. That was at 10 a.m. After that it was off for a quick lunch in Idaho Falls. Then, we returned to the Temple. This time, it was with my ward to do Baptisms for the dead. That was a neat experience and I was so excited to be able to participate in that. There was such a special spirit there. I was able to receive some answers that I really needed and wanted, plus I felt like I was literally in the Lord's hands. It was amazing. Following baptisms, we went to the cafeteria of the temple for dinner. That is always great. Since then, I have been in a good mood and nothing has really gotten me down. What a blessing it is to have temples on the earth. I can't wait to go again. Next week, in Logan.

ROAD TRIP!!!!

Labor Day weekend, a time to lay back, relax, and enjoy the end of summer. I was excited to take advantage of a three day weekend to help me get back into the groove of school. My weekend was spent with two of my old co-workers from the daycare. We took a road trip to Boise. We were all able to spend time with our families. On Sunday, we went to church in a Spanish Branch. Fue muy divertido! (It was very fun). I miss going to church in Spanish. I have not attended church in Spanish since the mission in 2006. The church is the same but I love spending time around the Hispanic people and the meeting was amazing. On Monday, we stopped by sister's house. I had so much fun talking to her. It was a great trip full of fun, food, and family. Thank you to everyone involved for making it a great weekend.

School Dayz

Many younger kids are going back to school now. I also started school this week. School started on Monday. It is my last semester of school and judging from the first couple days it is going to be an interesting semester. My schedule is pretty nice and I am done by 10 three days a week. The other two days I get done at 3. My hours at the law office work well with this schedule. I am going to hit the books...wait I did not have to buy many books. I am going to study hard and get through this semester. Good Luck everyone returning to school.

A Weekend of Fun and Games

My ward has a tradition of going to Bear Lake at the end of each summer. We spend the night in some cabins up there. There is always a spiritual lesson and a service project. Playing on the beach takes up the rest of the time. This year was great. I was able to go with the first group that left and got to choose where I was going to sleep. Last year I got a couch, this year I got a bed. We ate dinner, played games, and talked. I was able to talk with old friends and make some new friends who are awesome. After a spiritual lesson and family prayer, it was off to bed. The next morning we woke up and went to work sand and prepping the deck of the cabin where we were staying so that it can be painted soon. The rest of the day was spent on the beach playing. This included Frisbee, boats, food, and fun. Needless to say, the fun is over and we are all tired. It was a fun weekend and the perfect way to end summer. I guess that it is back to school on Monday.

The Tire Update

I know that you are all waiting for the rest of the story about my tire. I drove around with a nail in my tire for the whole week and it did not lose air at all. I was able to get it fixed and now I can drive without worrying about the nail popping out and me being stranded.

That's the Way the Tire Rolls

I have become quite notorious for getting weird things stuck in my tires or having tire problems with my car. This weekend was no exception. I noticed my tire was low Saturday night at about 7:30. That is after our tire place closes for the weekend (of course). I went through the adventure of testing how much air was in the tire and then trying to put the right amount of air into the tire so that I did not over feel it. Then, I had to drive very carefully on it. To my amazement, the tire held up and did not lose air overnight or throughout the day. I know where the problem is so I have to be careful when I park, but other than that it will be fine. My new adventure will be trying to find a time to get the tire into the shop when I am not working since I work 8-4 and 4-6. I am going to have to be creative. I guess this is all just a part of my life, and that is the way the tire rolls.....most of the time.
