Promptings

 I went to the temple today to do an endowment session with my Aunt Laurel who is visiting and staying at my parents for a few days. Mom and Dad were leading the session so it was fun for all four of us to be in there. It was a very full session of women. There were 31 women and 8 men! 39 of the 40 seats were full. I've been in sessions and lead sessions that had 42-46 people (folding chairs were brought in to accommodate after 40). But never have had this many sisters.  I used to have such anxiety going to the temple. So nervous about remembering what I was supposed to do and say. Being a temple worker definitely has helped ease that now that I know what to do and say more easily. It makes it so that I can focus on the words more and not stress about what's next. After I crossed into the Celestial room I had the overwhelming feeling of how happy I felt. The thought came to my mind, "Being prepared makes such a difference." I thought yes it does!

Oregon Coast: Just the Boys!

Image
Grandma and Grandpa and just their grandsons for the Oregon Coast trip this year.  They took their time getting to Fort Stevens and made some stops to see the beautiful world we live in. Aidan, Liandrew, Tyler There's a good age gap but these cousins love being together and have fun whenever they can.  Marty and his brothers Ruben, Oscar, and Daniel.

Vegas

It wasn't long that we were in Vegas till the boys were in the pool playing with cousins.  They had a lot of fun with the water slide grotto. Either jumping off of it or sitting up in the water of it trying to shoot others in the pools with water guns.  That evening Brian took us down to the strip to sight see some things before heading to the airport to pick up Maybrie from a school event she competed at.  In the Belagio hotel/casino they had this beautiful garden area displayed. Everything was made of vegetation (some real some fake) and it was just beautiful. I loved the zebras on the couch.  It was the boys' first time being on the strip. Giant flamingos Giant chess set up. I feel like the pictures can't show how incredible this display was. And walking in to the room just smelled so fragrant with blooms and vegetation. I know it was artificially pumped in to the room but it's one of those senses that makes the displayed experience that much better.  We wait...
