Temple Bag

Megan is going through the temple tomorrow!!! I am so excited for her. I know, that if you are ready, the Temple is a wonderful experience. So for her birthday I decided to make her a garment bag for her temple clothes. My mother-in-law gave me one before I went through and I love how convenient it is. It is easy to just throw everything in and go. I tried to copy mine as a pattern. I am so happy how it turned out.You can hang your dress on a hanger to keep it nice. I personally like this better than shoving my dress in a bag. It also has pockets on front so you can put your shoes and other necessities. I think my favorite part is that it folds up into a bag.

I really hope she likes it. It was fun to make, though. (by the way zippers are hard to put in!!)

Bread

I have a new passion, making bread!!! MMMMMMMM I love fresh baked bread. For Young Women's last night we learned how to make fool proof bread in an hour. It was fantastic!! There are a million and one things you can do with this bread. My goal is to start being better at making dinner. Poor Mike has to live with a wife that doesn't cook very often. So the next step is to make a trip to the store to get the things I need.
I have been way busy lately (which I love). Young Women's has been busy. I have made some fun things lately though. I will have to take some pictures to post. I have decided I need to be better at actually finishing the projects that I started. Well, so many desires, so little time!!

Forever

Well it has definitely been forever since I have posted anything. A lot has happened recently. They totally remodeled the front office where I work. It is kind of fun to have a change of any sort at work. Everything had gotten monotonous lately, it is sad when you are thrilled for a new desk but those are just the facts of it.
I also received a new calling in our ward. They called me to be the 2nd counselor in the Young Women's presidency. I am really excited to be a little more involved. If you didn't know I was the Mia Maid advisor before this. So I just showed up and did what I was told (which can be really nice) I am nervous to work with the Beehives, I have always worked with the Mia Maids or the Laurels, but I know it will be fun! I am also really excited to work with the new president. She is such an inspiration to me!!
About month ago I got called to be an ordinance worker in the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Mike has been working there since they opened, but I just got called. I absolutely love it. It is fun because since it is a small temple you get to rotate through everything. I love getting the chance to serve every Saturday morning. I have definitely felt a change in my life because of this. I feel great about my situation in life, since starting at the Temple.

I am really excited for all these new changes. I am the kind of person who enjoys change (most of it anyway).

Inspirational Quote

LDS.org - LDS Gem Archives - October 2009: "The Door to True Happiness

“The gospel of Jesus Christ has the answers to all of our problems. The gospel is not a secret. It is not complicated or hidden. It can unlock the door to true happiness. It is not someone’s theory or proposition. It does not come from man at all. It springs from the pure and everlasting waters of the Creator of the universe, who knows truths we cannot even begin to comprehend. And with that knowledge, He has given us the gospel—a divine gift, the ultimate formula for happiness and success.”
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, “The Way of the Disciple,” Ensign, May 2009, 75"

WANTED


One big serving of LUCK.


Apparently I don't have any. I know everyone always says this but I have proof! One might say that you are in need of luck when your brand new beautiful Ford Explorer is already broken.

I can't believe it. I got to drive it for ONE day, just one! Apparently the rear wheel is coming off or something like that nothing to important.


So if anybody has any luck they are willing to share, I could use all I can get
