My heart is full. And I am feeling close to my Savior. I feel like I have had a great couple of days. Have I done anything particularly exciting? Nope. This weekend was Memorial day so Brady and I both had Monday off. It was so nice to have a long weekend together. Really, we didn't do anything too exciting. Had a little photo shoot Friday which I absolutely loved. I am so excited to see the pictures! It was such a fun little date night. Saturday and Sunday we just ran errands and were lazy, it was great! Monday we had a nice little picnic and just enjoyed each other's company. I don't know why but I loved it, every minute of it. I am so grateful for my amazing husband and I love spending time with him. I think it was great because it was uninterrupted. We didn't have anything we had to do we really didn't have any stresses and we had that one extra day that we didn't have to worry about work or anything else, it was great. Tuesday we went to the temple and did a few baptisms which just increased my feelings of gratitude and made me feel even closer to the spirit. It took forever to do it but i finally did the baptism and confirmation for the family name that has been sitting on our shelf. The temple worker said it best, she told me that baptism and confirmation is the ordinance that gets everything else started. And she expressed the importance of it. It made me so happy to know that I was serving one of my ancestors. I am so grateful for the temple and for the service we can do there. I love the feeling I get when I am there and how close I feel to my Savior and to my Father in Heaven.
I also have been reading a very touching blog today and yesterday. It is called stout-heart.blogspot.com. It is about a family that had a micro preemie baby. He was born at 27 weeks and his parents decided to start a blog to keep their family informed and they decided to write it through the eyes of their baby. This blog has touched me. Their faith an optimism shown by this family are so incredible and it was such a good reminder to me that we can do hard things. Our Heavenly Father is there for us and so is our savior Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the knowledge and testimony I have of the love that I feel from my Father in Heaven and Christ. I know that I am never alone. And again, I am so grateful that I have an amazing husband by my side to go through life with and to lean on in hard times. I have been blessed with so much and I am filled with gratitude for everything that I have. I am so thankful for my family and friends that have touched my life.
