Hi

My room is messy. I started cleaning it, I really did! But then remembered I hadn't checked the mail for a couple days. So I checked it and found a letter from Jill Friend. AND a postcard from Jessie in PARIS. I feel loved :) There was also a bridal shower announcement for a girl in my ward that I don't know very well who probably sent one to everyone, but I still feel loved <3

Cali has wanted me to send temple pictures her way so she can blog about it, but I can't get the darn pics to send. Every time I try sending them MAILER DAEM seems to have a word with me... Sooo I guess I'll post the pics that Cali wanted, and put them on her computer later (sorry Cal, I tried!).

So if you haven't guessed, I went through the temple for the first time on Saturday. It was pretty incredible. I'm excited to go more so I can understand it all better. As we walked up to the temple, I couldn't believe I was actually going. I knew I would some day, but I never imagined in all of my dreams that it would be now, and that my going would be prompted because of a mission. A mission to CHILE even. It's amazing how life takes you places you didn't expect, and at times you didn't expect either. I can't really place the words for how I felt or feel about it all. My life is incredibly blessed. I had the opportunity to do something great on Saturday, and was lucky enough to have had many people I love dearly surrounding me as I did it. My sister Cali was my escort, and Geoff, mom, grandmas, aunt, and one of my best buds, Sydney went with me.

This is my wonderful sister Cali, who was with me every step of the way



And this is Syd. And these are our "wedding pictures." I got to be the girl this time!

The beautiful Cal Pal and her Hubby. This is where they married (Jordan River), and so did my parents. And since I don't plan on marrying at this temple, I thought it would be special to become endowed here :)

I don't have pics of the rest of the temple party. They all scampered off to my grandmas (who lives not far away) before I could grab them.

My aunt, who came, is the lovely aunt who sews fabric together and creates bomb missionary clothes for me. After the temple, we trekked over to my grandmas and I tried on the completed clothing items. They are amazing! Afterwards, I dragged Cali and Geoff around with me to go get some eatins. I topped off my day with some friends.

It was a wonderful day :)
