Dedication

Alex and I were fortunate enough to attend the dedication of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple this morning. It was an incredible opportunity for me, solely because the last (and only) dedication I had been to was the Oklahoma City Temple and that was when I was around 12. What a morning! We felt the Spirit multiple times, and can't WAIT to go and do a session! After going through the open house last month, we have been itching to go back. It's truly a house of the Lord.


My brother, Coulter, will be leaving to go on a mission next month to the Dominican Republic. I'm so excited for him!! It's something he's deserved for quite a while.

He and my mother will be coming up a few days prior to him reporting at the MTC, so I'm going to make an appointment for all of us to do a session. There is something so special about going to the temple with not only your eternal companion, but your eternal family as well.


As I sat through the dedication, I realized a great many things about my life. I looked at Alex sitting next to me, and felt an overwhelming gratitude for him. To know that he has the same goals, respect and love for the Lord as I do brings me such comfort. I love him with everything I have... I couldn't have chosen a better companion.

My Wish List:

And I say wish list because they truly are wishes, and I'm not sure if any of my wishes will come true any time soon. ;) A girl can dream, right?
Yes, I'm sure you've seen the infomercials for Time Life's anything... but everytime I see this particular set come on- I watch the entire thing. It's my favorite era... (at least where music is concerned...) Call me a hippie if you will, but I absolutely, without a doubt want this collection.

'Nuff said.



Old Navy. Weekend Jeans. $19.00. Sigh....

Alex and I go to IKEA almost every single weekend. Along with getting a workout- we do much gawking. There are so many fantastic deals, and this chair always catches our longing eyes. A beauty, isn't she?
Those are only some of the items I am currently dreaming about. There are more, but I feel those should be enough eye candy for now.
