Tonight I got to go to Stake Temple Night. Shawn and the youth of our ward stayed at the church to watch kids so people could go, so I had to go alone. I was really torn whether I wanted to go at all because I am so tired and uncomfortable these days... But I decided that I wouldn't be able to go for a while pretty soon and I should go. It was just what I needed. I was able to feel the spirit, receive messages that I needed in the chapel meeting, and then go and do initiatories and remember all the blessings that were given to me when I went for the first time. (sitting long enough to do a session is really painful now, so I did initiatories instead) I always have such a good time doing initiatories, and I love remembering how blessed I am by my loving Heavenly Father. I really wish that I could go to the temple every week so that I could feel the spirit, be more calm and loving, and relay that to my family.
Well, I took the quilt to my moms a while ago and we did all the quilting... Then my cute mom HAND STITCHED the outside edge so beautifully! (my mom is super woman) Anyway, it is all done and is SOOO cute!
We are a CRAZY but having fun being that way family. We have 6 kids. They are Sarah-12, Joseph-10, Hannah-8, Caleb-6, Jacob-3, and Lydia -14 months. We love animals and the outdoors, and homeschooling!
