I Love to See the Temple

I went through the Bountiful Temple on Saturday the 25th of May! 

What an insight it was. It was a blessing and very beautiful. 

The temple is a place we can connect our family ties together.

Heavenly Father is close to us in His house. 

We are able to prayer and ponder in peace. 

Melissa, my Aunt was able to be my escort. To help me learn and 

understand the Endowment ordinance I was receiving. 

My wonderful Fiance, Brent was able to help guide me also. 

Other close family and friends were able to join with also.

I love my support system!

Life is Hard Work

05/30/2013 is.. wait for it... only 9 days away! I can count that on my hands!
It is crazy how close it is! I hope everything is done?!

Saturday morning I reluctantly got up in the pouring rain early to go with Brent to meet the ward at Temple Square for some service! We made a huge mess. Used our muscles a ton! Had a lot of fun though!
Specially while admiring some brides hoping they weren't too mad at the ripped out flowers we just destructed. I must of worked hard I feel the burn in the muscles today! Love my ward and going to miss them!



I had to hurry off to clean up and rest real fast (if that is possible?) with Brent before we headed to work.

Sunday morning we drove out to Grantsville. For a really good friend from camp, Sara's farewell talk.
It was probably one of the best talks I have heard in sacrament meeting! About the beauty of repentance we are able to have in life!

I am so glad I was able to say goodbye to her. Gonna miss her and am going to have to send lots of "magic box notes" her way for the next 18 months, as she serves the people in New Mexico!
I was so blessed to meet her and have her and her bestie as good friends of mine! So glad we have been able to keep in touch this past year spending time together when we can even if we live far from each other! I love them and the example they are to me in my life!



So proud of the way everything in life has gone for the past year! The growth I have been able to make and see around me! Life changes so fast it is crazy! I love every minute of it all!

Decorating Life

The count down continues at 12 days!

Last night I was able to support a beautiful bride at her wedding! She is a co-worker of mine and we have been able to plan our weddings together! Topic all the time helping each other out! I am so glad to have friends going through this to help me out!

I am so grateful to be marrying my best friend! I love the conversations we are able to have with ease! I talk to Brent about EVERYTHING and that means so much to me! I don't know what I would do with out him now that I have him!

I have been working every evening and I wish I was working mornings to be able to have the evening to get things done and to be able to actually go to bed for once! My body sure is feeling it! Poor Brent I keep him up too late just because I don't have to be to work at 6am.
He has some things this next week so keep your fingers crossed! I can't say or I will jinx it though!

I made my cute cousin Ashley some tye-dye cupcakes and a cupcake dog for her birthday party tomorrow. I am so excited for her to see them! I know that she will love it!
Cake decorating has really become something I enjoy a lot and am actually really good at!
Practice Practice Practice for me and it all comes naturally!

Listening to the down pour of rain as I write this. Grateful for a dry bed! My room is becoming empty as I pack and move things to our new place. I can't believe I have so much stuff though! I swear me and my best friend Katrina were able to move it all in our two cars when our family moved to this house.. what happend?!

Problematic back seater..

Its always exciting when I am able to work on wedding stuff. My mom has been a huge help organizing and putting everything together for me!
We got our marriage licence yesterday! Just have to sign that bad boy in a mere two weeks!

Sadly, Brent is not the best with directions. When we drive some where I back seat drive the whole time telling him where to go and what to do and get frustrated with him when it doesn't play out as I think it should...
I am not the most patient person, always been something I need to work on.

Of course he got a little turned around on our way to get the licence and I had to let him know of his mistakes. I felt terrible while walking in because, he felt dumb that I was even laughing at him! What kind of future wife am I?!

I for sure need to work on this. Specially since we are road tripping for our honey moon. I've always been good with directions and I love maps. Traveling it what I do!

So instead of telling him I am buying him a gps already set up for him. I should be calm and teach him. He says it would help if I wasn't so distracting. I can't help that he loves me so much! We love talking with one another! Communicating is our special-T! Driving in a car is suppose to be a prime time to talk and discuss with one another!

Even with my back seat driving. He still loves me! We forgive and forget until the next time were trying to get some where at least..

I think I should listen to myself and remember that getting there is half the fun and the journey to your destination is where you learn and grow. It not always about the destination at all!

This road I am starting with him will not be straight all the time. It will not always have a sign for us to follow. and the Speed limit changes a lot! We might have a canyon to get through or bump to go around. Or even a huge construction zone! Hopefully we wont be going through too much rush hour traffic! We will be able to meet people on the journey, see new things, learn a ton!, and grow closer and closer together! We are a team on this road to exaltation and we can't get there with out the other! We have our destination in sight, but it is all about what we do and how we do it to get there!

Its May

Brent and I took some more engagement pictures! I love them so much it captures the peaceful love we have together! I love the nature of the orchard we took them at! So calming and natural with the fruit flowers in blooms!


It is only TWO weeks until the wedding! I can't believe it is approaching that soon!

Yesterday, on Mothers day, with Brent's family we were able to skype his Brother Elder Andrew Cowley who is serving an LDS mission in Guatemala! I met him for the first time. I missed being able to meet him before he left only by a few weeks. We are really gonna miss him on our big day.

I love having two families now! Brent's twin sisters Jennifer and Sarah are so fun to be around and full of life! It can still have it's challenges though.  Where we go for celebrations, special dinners and holidays is a task we have to now be tackling. I try to earn the best brownie points I can though.

Marriage brings so much with it. Way more than just our licence lawfulness. We will be married not only by law on Earth, but law in the heavens for all eternity.
