The temple

Tonight I was able to go to the Twin Falls temple.  It has been several months since going and when I

was there it felt like my first time all over again, but because of that I was able to learn new stuff there.  Jon didn't go with me to the temple because of some things I felt like this is how my world is going to be without him if he doesn't make it to the celestial kingdom.  I beg and plead go to the temple even if you feel like you are not worthy just go because that is Satan telling you that you are no good to go to the temple.  Because I had chosen to go there was suppose to be a big snow storm and I had driven right in the middle of it and I had the option of turning back and going another day I decided no you are not going to win I am.  right after that the weather stopped and when I got out of the temple there was no snow or Ice on the ground.  A very small victory but it was the right thing to do.

Being Organized

I am not the most organized person here on the face of the earth, in fact I am kinda lazy about doing stuff, so this past October I was given the opportunity to go to Wood Badge which is training for Boy Scouts.  I am a Venturer which is part of the Boy Scouts if you guys don't know what it is.  We have one ticket that we are going for and with this one ticket we have five goals and one of my goals was to get organized so my new favorite place to go for organization stuff is the Dollar Tree.  I can almost find anything I want there and I found these containers that are great for organizing my bathroom my kitchen and my living room.  For my kitchen it literally took me less than five minutes to put everything together and now under my sink is all organized.  In my bathroom I got two organizing trays and I love it.  It took me forever to go through all my bathroom stuff but I am so organized in there that even my husband can follow my simple organizing patters.  and I have one drawer that I am not even using...to me that is amazing.  for my living room it was pretty close to being organized but I have these built in book shelves that I have been storing my coats and stuff in and I would shove the coats in an quickly shut the cabinet shut now I don't even have to do that any more.  I had and a heating closet that has the heater in and then a little bit of space so I got a coat hook, hooked it on the door and hung up the coats and stuff.  In our living room because my house is very small our office is in the living room and I hate it when the desk is always a mess so I got a three drawer cabinet and I put labels on them.  the top one is bills, the second drawer is file and then the third drawer is receipts.  this has made my desk so organized and I can find anything that I need.  Now most of my house is organized.  Need to work on my bed room and the laundry room.  good luck to me for that.  I am also thinking about organizing the car.

The main reason why I wanted my home to be more organized is that I see these Molly Mormons and there clean homes and perfect children and when I walk into there homes I feel the spirt more closely and it is almost like walking into the temple.  I want my home to feel like that I want to wake up and feel like my home could be the temple and to feel the Holy Ghost so much closely.  With a clean home it could welcome the spirit and we could have a clean mind and body, like when we were baptized all of our sins were washed away and we were cleaned every bit.  So those who are struggling to become organized and stay organized there is hope.  True in the Lord with all your might mins and strength and it will happen.

This is my kitchen sink.  Everything has a home now under my kitchen.

My coat closet that is in my heater closet. 

Under my bathroom sink.  The blue container holds what I use on a daily bases like my curling iron and my straighter also my hairbrush and there  is a bag of my every day make up its not all my make up because i don't use all of it in one day so it is in a separate bag and then the red basket has girly supplies and then my cleaning stuff in the back that i am thinking about moving to the kitchen.

Zumba

Yesterday I went to Zumba...had a blast and I enjoyed it because it was dancing.  Not the dancing that I normally do but it was still dance and it was a great work out.  Since getting married I have put on a little bit of weight...my husband is like were?  when I first got married I was 95 pounds since being married I have put on like 15-20 pounds which is good for my size but how I gained it is not right.  Not eating right eating fast food and candy.  Heavenly father has asked us to take care of our bodies because they are our temple.  I remember in church one time that I was given a sharpie marker and a picture of the temple and i was told I could draw on that picture.  I didn't want to because it was the temple.  The logic of the sharpie is that our bodies are temple we do not need to cover it by tattoos or piercings or anything that would harm our bodies.  We need to take care of it.  It is a gift from our Heavenly father.  We rejoiced to come down to earth from heaven to receive this body.
So those who are trying to get back into shape I encourage you and if it is Zumba keep trying and if you mess up and fall on your butt you just do your thing and keep on moving...also a word of advice don't take a shower after Zumba and then fall asleep your going to be stiff I sure am lol...but it is just a reminder that I am going to be in shape for my heavenly father.

My Story

So everybody has asked...how did you guys meet...well short version ex boyfriend cheated on me with one of my friends and so I messaged a friend we fell in love and bam we got married and we lived happily ever after.  So here comes the long story that is rather to boring not believe able or what ever the opinions but here is our story.

My sister we will call her Alice is big into rodeo competitions that has everybody on there toes with her crazy ideas about being the next rodeo teen queen.  The friends we have made by borrowing there horses happen to be really good friends with girl  named Ashley, who happens to be Oakley teen queen a few years back.  They became friends and she helped Alice get into shape and help her with her competition that she was currently in.  By being friends with this girl she was able to meet her family, including her brother Jon.  My sister was talking to him and my mother was like oh you guys are going to get married because I guess the day that my sister got to meet Ashley was the day of stake conference and her brother Jon came and spoke, and my mother thought to herself that one of her girls is going to marry him, she thought it might have been my sister Alice...at the time she wasn't even old enough to date.  At the time I had become good friends with Ashley and her family (not her brother yet)  that she invited us over to her daughter's birthday party. So I went and got to meet Jon.  I thought to myself he is good looking...to bad I'm dating somebody else so I saw him from afar.  Well things happened and we started talking to each other and then I just stopped because at the time I was dating somebody else and I felt like it wasn't right to be talking to another guy while dating the other guy so I kinda cut ties with him.  After a few months October came around and I ended up breaking up with this guy that I was dating because he broke my heart (In a fake tearfull voice) that I felt alone.

I decided I need some help and that I needed a friend so I sent Jon a Text message.  We were talking and it happened to be a Monday and for those who are in the single branch that means FHE that was the last place I wanted to go but somehow he convinced me to go and so he picked me up at a store and off we went.  I found out that night that we liked some of the same music and that he was wanting to go on a mission and so on and so forth.  Two weeks later after talking to each other it took him forever to ask me if I wanted to be his girlfriend.  When Thanksgiving came along we wanted to surprise everybody that we were engaged...ya I know that was really fast.  He introduced me to his mother "Mom this is my fiancé"  she looked at him and was like I didn't know you were dating.  everybody welcomed me into there home and Ashley was so happy that I was going to be part of her family.  At the time he was still wanting to go on a mission and they declined him three times to go on a mission, so we didn't know if I was going to have to wait for him to get off his mission or what, but I told him he can go if it is the right thing to do.  He was able to go to the temple and after he went he sent me a text message saying how does February sounds.  I was confused about what he was asking me.  (kinda Blond you know) but then it dawned on me he is asking me to marry him.  So we told our families and we started preparing to get married.

when I went to threw the temple for the first time I went to the Twin Falls Idaho temple and his parents was able to come with us to get my endowments out and it was such a blessing to have them there because I knew that In a few short weeks I was going to be sealed to them.  We were going to wait to get married in February but things just didn't feel right so we moved it to January.  I think that was kinda stressful to my mother but I had most of it planned out anyway.  January came and we were married in the Saltlike temple.  We have now been married a whole year and we have so much love for each other that words can not explain how much love we have.
