Tender Mercy Tuesday - 17th Edition

Good merry morning my dear friends. It's a beautiful day here in Utah and I'm trying to enjoy it knowing full well that by the end of the week it will be snowing. :(

I have a few great tender mercies for you, so without further ado:

• I walked out of the gym last night to find a VERY flat tire on my car. I called a friend, but before she and her guy friend could come and rescue me a very nice young man came up to me and offered to change my flat tire for me. He did it so quickly and was so nice about it. I love that there are still Good Samaritans in the world.

• This past weekend was the 181st Annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was AMAZING. I heard exactly what I needed to hear for several different aspects of my life. It was wonderful. They already have the podcasts and other means to watch it up so hop on over and take a look-see. The text will be up on Thursday if you're a text person. :o)

• this might seem odd that I'm putting this as a tender mercy, but it was for me k? I called a boy...who shall now be known as Norsnob (I made that up just now. funny name though right? i like it.) Anyways. Norsnob is in my ward and he is AWESOME. I have tickets to the final performance in Ballet West's season for Saturday night and I needed a date. I was SO NERVOUS to call up Norsnob and ask him out, but guess what? He said yes! (also, I promise to catch you up on some Dating Battle Stories. It's been a while and I have a lot to tell you.)

anyways, never mind that I only got 4 hours of sleep last night because of my decision to go hot tubbing and watch a movie with my friends, I am HAPPY. Life is good and swell. The End.

Tender Mercy Tuesday - 16th Edition

Well here we are my dear internet friends. Another Tuesday. This past week has been chock-full of crazy, happiness and of course, my surprises.

The 3rd and final surprise was a bridal shower for my little sister. It was a fun, simple party that was enjoyed by all.

Also, it was GREAT fun to have my Mom here. I think that is one of my favorite tender mercies from the past week - seeing my mom! Getting to spend time with her and do fun things was so wonderful. I had 2.5 days off of work and it was nice to have a little mini-vacay even if I didn't go anywhere. I'll get another one of those in the June when I have both my sister's wedding AND the big, huge June recital happening. :o) It will be fun times.

Anyways, I have one other Tender Mercy that I want to share. It relates to my post from Friday. I got to go the temple on Friday and do my own temple work. It was an amazing experience receiving the blessings and making covenants associated with the endowment. I will always remember that day. My best friend, Truit, and her husband came and then my mom was there. I am excited to go again and again doing the temple work for my and others' ancestors. All in all, I have been astounded by the amount of love I have felt in the past several days. My eyes have been opened in so many ways and I know that I made the right choice in going when I did. :o) I am happy.

Now I am just getting ready for the 181st Annual General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is going to be a good one, I can feel it. Not that there has ever been a bad one, but I know that this one is going to be just full of awesome. Hopefully spring will start coming, it's supposed to be REALLY nice on Friday but then snow on Saturday/Sunday. :o)

I love to see the temple, I'm going there someday today. To feel the Holy Spirit, To listen and to pray. For the temple is a house of God, A place of love and beauty. I’ll prepare myself while I am young; This is my sacred duty.


I love to see the temple. I’ll go inside someday today. I’ll cov’nant with my Father; I’ll promise to obey. For the temple is a holy place Where we are sealed together. As a child of God, I’ve learned this truth: A fam’ly is forever.

Surprise #2!!

Today was surprise #2!

This surprise was for my mommy. I contacted all her friends and we threw her a surprise 50th birthday party. It was so much fun and we laughed and laughed and laughed. It was a grand ol' time and I love my mommy so much! She's the best ever. :o) I 'm so glad I've gotten to be raised by her and such. She's amazing.

There's only one more surprise and then we're all done with surprises for a VERY long time. My head was about to burst with all these secrets in my head.
