So much to do!!!!!

As of right this second there is only 21 days, 21 hours, and 41 minutes till the wedding!!! (its a good thing i have a smart phone that will do all that for me cause numbers and Rika don't get along.) 

So, with only 21 days left until the Biggest day of my life, (so far anyways) there seems to be endless lists of thing that we could be doing or rather should be doing. But with all these list there just seems like there isn't enough time to do everything. I mean we have all of the major things taken care of already i.e. Temple, reception site, cake, announcements, and all the really big things. So we could not do anything else for the wedding and be totally fine, well kind of. We don't have a DJ yet, or Food and that type of stuff so it would be a really boring reception, but I think that we will finish so that people actually show up!!!

So moving on to stuff that is going to be easy to finish up and completely not stressful. The Marriage License!!! Okay so that is really all that I can think of that is not going to be stressful because all we have to do is drive down to the court house and answer some questions and i am pretty sure that is it!!! But knowing how things like to turn out for me something is bound to go wrong. I just hope that it doesn't. Well It looks like we are off to the Court House, wish us luck I will let ya'll know how it goes!!!!

The Hasty Heart

Well, it is getting closer to wedding time which of course means endless stressing right? Okay, so maybe not for everyone but for me I am pretty sure I am going insane with all this stress. And John being the best fiance on the planet is more than willing to do whatever I want him to, so that I don't have to worry about it. Let me tell you something it is kinda nice not to have to worry about doing every little thing by myself because unlike all the weddings I have seen John really does want to help and is not just saying it to make me feel better. 

So this week is a little bit more stressful because Ryan and Sarah got married on the 16th!! (YAY, for another sister) so while my parents were in North Carolina dodging tornado's, I was stuck at home with the kids trying to keep them out of trouble. So that was pretty stressful all by itself. And to add on top of that this Saturday we are doing a Utah reception for them and I am going to the Temple. Yes, both pretty stress free things right? Wrong, first I am going through the Temple tomorrow, and I have been working all week (graves of course) and I have gotten hardly 4 hours of sleep every morning this week. So that makes things hard at work. And when I am tired I get really grumpy and things piss me off more then usual. So while this should be a time of happiness I am just frustrated with the littlest things. But don't get me wrong I am super excited to go through I am just a little grumpy as of right now. (that should change as of 2 o'clock this afternoon, YAY for sleep!!!) So that is making my life hectic and with the reception on Saturday night and Sarah's Bridal Shower on Friday, we have so much to do in so little time. We have to clean the house so Ryan and Sarah have a place to sleep, cook turkey for the sandwiches, make the sandwiches, decorate the cultural hall, and then hopefully have time to relax!! But that isn't it along with the Reception comes the fact that Ryan is taking his car and the truck back to LA, (where he is stationed at) So we have roughly 4 days to pack up the majority of my stuff and move it to John's house. You think that wouldn't be stressful, but I have so much stuff I don't know what to do with half of it. and I have to make sure I don't forget any of my shoes!!! But along with me moving most of my stuff out, I have to help in my parents house getting stuff put in the truck to take to the dump. So that pretty much sums up why I am stressed out of my mind. 

So I have a friend from High School who is in the play The Hasty Heart at Hale Center Theater in West Valley, and he posted on facebook that you could get tickets for only $10 if you use a promo code and his name. So I have been wanting to see this play since I first got the event invite on Facebook. it sounded pretty funny, but the real reason is that I absolutely love plays. I don't know what it is about them but they just make me happy and relaxed. Yeah strange I know. But I had mentioned to John the whole $10 ticket and that if he wanted to we could take a break from everything and just enjoy ourselves. I didn't know if he would actually want to go watch a play. But I asked anyways, and he said that we could go, I was so excited!! And I know that he wasn't really sure if he was going to like it because he told my little sister Megan. :) But when we got there it was just so nice to be away from all the stress and noise of the world, I was instantly relaxed!! And as the show went on I didn't once think about how stressful the rest of the week is going to be. I just kept thinking how much I love spending time with John and how it was just nice to sit and relax not doing any sort of planning!!! At the end of the play I asked John what he thought of it and he said that he liked it. So I am hoping that he was being truthful :) 

So tonight was great, I loved the play and I loved spending time with John!!! Life is going so great other then all this stress. I am finally where I am supposed to be doing what I should be doing even though there were people out there who didn't think it was possible for me. If it weren't prideful I would tell them "in your face" but I know that I don't need to say anything or do anything different then what I am doing now so I am just going to stick with that!!! But Life is great only like 29 days and 9 hours till wedding day!!!! I am so excited to be marrying my best friend he is the greatest!!! 

That's all Folks!!!!

Blog-imony

Okay, so I am not positive but I recall hearing a talk this weekend during General Conference about bearing your testimony all the time and I remember something about blogging your testimony.

Well to be completely honest I am not sure how well this is going to go. I am not ashamed of my testimony in the least bit. I just worry about peoples feeling to much. So I am going to ignore how other people are feeling about this subject and just let everyone know how I feel about it. 

Again during Conference, John told me how in Priesthood session President Monson spoke about the Book of Mormon, and that he told everyone that if you haven't read it yet you need to read it. That right there got me thinking. I don't think that I have ever read the Book of Mormon from cover to cover. And I told John that and he told me that we would have to change that starting tomorrow (Monday) I didn't even think anything of it, I was just planning on reading a little tonight while I was working. But this afternoon after we got done working out and got cleaned up, John had his scriptures out ready for us to start reading. So we started reading the introduction and took turns until we had completely read the whole intro. While we were reading I had the most amazing spirit come over me. It was like I was getting this huge hug and it was taking my breath away. (that made it a little difficult to read) But if I didn't know that the Book of Mormon was true before, I know with an assurity that it is one-hundred percent true. I know that I have struggled with these little doubts that are put in my head every once in a while. But I am always really good about being able to stop them before they get to big. But after reading today, there is no doubt in my mind that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the true and everlasting Gospel of Christ. I know that if I can keep the commandments and someday (soon) make the Temple covenants and always strive to be more like Christ in everything I do I will be able to sit across from him in the judgement seat and know that I have done everything in my power to return to my Father in Heaven and have relied on the Lord for everything that I am not yet capable of doing. I am so very blessed to have a fiance who is so in tune with the Spirit. I really don't know what I would have done if he had not come into my life at the time that he did. He really is the most amazing person I have ever met and I know that I can see myself with him Forever!! and I thank Heavenly Father for him everyday. I know now that if I ever have any doubts in my mind or just questions that I can go to John and he will be able to help me understand. I know that there are Living Prophets on the earth today and that they have been called by God and that the words that they speek to us are directly from the mouth of  God. We need to listen to what these messengers have to say and not just only say that we will do what they ask. But actually DO IT!!! I Bare witness to these things that I know they are true. and I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
