Lotaja and First Anniversary

Well I am finally getting around to blogging about things that happened over a month ago. The first of September I went and helped my mom be support for my dad during the Lotaja. It was a lot of fun. I thought it would go by so slow, but it actually passed quickly. He did such a great job. This is his second year and he beat his time by over an hour. He did so good. I could not even imagine doing it, but there are a lot of people that do it. I look up to each and every one of them.




Then a few weeks later on the 22nd of September, Ryan and I celebrated our first anniversary. He was so cute and got me flowers and a cute card. I gave him a book with 365 reasons why I love him. (One for each day we had been married up to that day) We just hung out together and then went down to The Cheesecake Factory. I love that place. We had a lot of fun. Then we went to San Diego to visit his dad and get away for a bit. We had a great time.

Conference

I am just so amazed at how much I LOVED Elder Holland's talk today. He did such a great job. He has such enthusiasm that it captures the listeners. He did such a great job at getting his point across and not beating around the bush. I felt the spirit very strong during his talk. I LOVE LOVE LOVED it.

Last conference his talk was my favorite too. If you have not seen this video please watch it. It brought such a wonderful spirit. I love watching it and hearing Elder Holland's words in the background. I am so bummed that conference is over until next time. It is such an awesome thing that we can listen to the prophet and apostles from our homes. I am so grateful that I live in the world today when we have prophets and seers to guide us. I am so grateful that I am part of this church. I am so grateful that I have wonderful parents that are such awesome examples to me. I am so grateful that I have such a loving husband that is a worthy priesthood holder.

I am very grateful today. I hope everyone felt the spirit that I felt today. I am so grateful that I did.
