After being able 2 witness our many GREAT & WONDERFUL leaders this past weekend give counsel & direction 2 us all during General Conference, I must say that I have come out with an attitude of PURE LOVE. I am very grateful 4 the opportunity of living here in Salt Lake City, where the church is headquartered & where our prophet, Thomas S. Monson, resides. I was deeply touched by many of the different messages that were shared & very MOVED 2 WANT 2 do more. 2 not settle 4 just being comfortable with the way my life is right now.
I have been on a waiting list with my local library 4 the Book of Mormon on audio & my turn came up yesterday. :D My week was DEFINITELY already starting on a GREAT note. :D My goal with getting the audio cd's was 2 import it onto my ITUNES so that I can sync it 2 my ipod & listen 2 it while I workout. I'm HAPPY 2 say that I just finished importing the last disc 2 my ITUNES as of this morning. All 23 of them. Lol. It was definitely worth it!! :D
Another goal that my husband & I set was 2 attend the temple everyday this week. :D I'm happy 2 say that we woke up BRIGHT & EARLY this morning & got ourselves ready & headed 2 the Jordan Temple. It was an EXTREMELY busy morning @ the temple & so EXCITING 2 see the Lord's work moving 4ward. We stay here in South Jordan & are the only city in the world 2 have 2 temples. It's an AMAZING blessing. :D And one we try not 2 take advantage of. :D
We got home in time 2 get the kids ready 4 'Funny Bunny Story Time' @ the Riverton Library. Because I had class last night, we weren't able 2 have our Family Home Evening so we planned it 4 today instead. :D 'Funny Bunny Story Time' is filled with GREAT stories being told, singing & dancing the wiggles out of the kids & crafts @ the end. We all had a blast interacting with each other & spending our FHE activity there. It was GREAT!! :D It's focused on ages 18 mo-3 yrs old, but my 3 older ones came in & had wayyy MORE fun than the 2 younger ones. Lol. It was GREAT!! The kids made there Easter Egg Baskets & we'll be debuting their art work as soon as we figure out which window it's going 2 be hung on. :D
We've definitely been enjoying the AWESOME weather outside these past couple of days so it's been great. Hoko & I have started reading the Book of Mormon, again, & are EXCITED 4 all that we're able 2 take from it & apply into our own personal & family lives. The blessings that are promised 2 those that STUDY & BELIEVE in the principles that are being taught in this WONDERFUL book are AMAZING & ENDLESS. We love the Lord with all our hearts & give thanks & praise 2 only Him. 4 it is only through Christ that we can be saved & have everlasting life. This past weekend has definitely put us on a 'Spiritual High' which definitely creates a 'Higher Life' 4 all those that seek after it. On that note. . . .I'm going 2 head back outside & jump on the trampoline with the kids cause it's soooo GORGEOUS outside & I can't resist!! Lol.

Way to go Fi! You guys are such a cute family! I tell myself all the time that I can't take living near a temple for granted because SO MANY are not blessed to live near a temple... And wow, when I learned this past general conference that South Jordan is the only city in the world with TWO temples, I was astonished. I heart the temple! :)
Thanx guys!! We're definitely not taking advantage of our journey ahead!! :D We're too overjoyed & excited 2 accomplish these goals. I definitely HEART the temple as well. :D
