General Conference and Fall

I love General Conference! It continues to amaze me that we have a living prophet, the 1st presidency, and the twelve to guide us. They love us so much and I can feel it through the television! Thank goodness that each of us ALWAY has at least these 15 men of God that continually prays and worries for us. When we feel alone, tired, and unloved...we only have to look to these men, our Heavenly Father, and our older brother Jesus Christ. Who better to love and care for us?
I have met some incredible people. Many who sadden me by the lack of understanding they have of their own potential. We have been promised ALL that God has if we follow His commandments and just love Him. I cant understand not wanting ALL that God has. But still I am grateful for all of my friends and family and hope that I am doing all I can to serve them. My heart is full of love and I hate not being able to lift and help others. Lately I have had lots of new opportunities, I believe that I have been given these opportunities to share what I know of the Gospel and the love that God has for His children.


I also have to express my gratitude for fall. It is my favorite time of year. The leaves, the apple cider, the pumpkins, the sweaters...I look forward to it all year long. I can feel fall in the air and, contrary to its chilly presence, it warms me. I LOVE FALL!!!

Baby Shower!!!

This time it's raining 2 BABIES! We had a shower for Becca and had a blast! (I did, hopefully everyone else did too!) We tasted lots of yummy baby food...

okay Nick definately did not enjoy the baby food, but he was such a good sport! ...

(He actually took the other bottles home with him for dinner the next day :D okay no he didn't...)

Apparently Beth REALLY enjoyed the "Red Potatoes and Alaskan Salmon."

We even booked entertainment!


Becca's belly is so cute! I dont think she was very happy that we all liked to touch it tho...

She got some very cute things!

Including an adorable baby book!
We also had good times watching the Pride and Prejudice video we made in high school, good times!

Love...

LOVE-I still believe in my fairy tale. I still believe that someday I will meet a man who will love me more than anything and who will want to raise our kids in the gospel. I know he's out there somewhere waiting for me and we both just still need time to prepare ourselves for each other. Why am I rambling about this? Because everyone is getting married and I just have to remind myself, sometimes publicly, that I am only 19 years old and don't really have to worry about meeting my future husband just yet. I am not in a rush but when I look at the row of wedding announcements across my shelf I am tempted to feel anxious. That's all I had to say. :)
