Playin' Catch-Up

I have been such a slacker! Things have just been absolutely crazy with school coming to an end - thank goodness!!! So I will just have to fill you in on the fun things that mostly I have been up to - Clay has just been swamped with school and work - thanks to having paid time off hours at work so this could end up being a long post. At the end of October, one of my very best friends got married! Daisy Heiner married Dave Hegstrom from Twin Falls. I was so happy to see them get married! I was there when they first met and saw them through their dating lives until they both left on their missions and then they were both in Rexburg going to school after so Clay and I got to take them 4-wheeling once so I've seen a lot of the times they've been together! We had a little Bachelorette party the night before and just had a great time at Johnny Carino's eating and catching up with old friends!

It was great seeing a lot of friends there and hearing about their lives. It feels kind of weird having been out of High School for almost 5 years :S haha Anyway, we had a big slumber party at Daisy's pad filling her in on important info ;) It was a much needed girls' night out!

They got married in the Twin Falls Temple which was just amazing! It was only the 2nd sealing that I have been to after our wedding and it was great to have the same emotions and seeing the happiness of Temple weddings. I know that it is the only way back to our Father in Heaven by having a Celestial marriage and gaining Celestial exaltation - being able to live with my husband for eternity and having children grow with us is the most joyous blessing in my life! The Temple is sacred and a place to feel peace and the Holy Ghost which I am grateful for.

I am so blessed of being able to be sealed to Clay in the Temple as we have also celebrated our 1st year anniversary! I don't know if people say it's the first year that's hard or a breeze and we've had our ups and downs but I can say that we've never gotten in a fight or a bad argument. It's pointless - it's helped me grow as a person in getting rid of pride and selfishness and it makes our marriage run much smoother. I look forward to our future while raising our kids and growing together as a happy family!
