St. Paul Temple

Tonight Kevin and I were able to go up to the St. Paul Temple. It was so wonderful to be able to have that time with Kevin. I love the peace and love I always feel when being in the temple. I always leave feeling refreshed and ready to handle whatever life brings.

We ran into Kevin's cousin's wife while we were there. It was so fun getting to see and chat with her for a little bit. It was a lovely evening spent in the temple. I'm grateful for the guidance I felt and the answers I was able to see more clearly. I know the Lord loves me and I know we are blessed when we are obedient and try our best to follow the promptings we receive.

The drive up to the temple was GORGEOUS. There were groups of trees with red, green, orange, and yellow leaves. SO PRETTY. I can't get over how much I love all the fall colors everywhere. I thought I loved them in the west but my goodness the midwest is making me fall in love all over again with the fall season! It rained the whole way up so Kevin said if I wanted a picture with him and the temple we had to do it while walking so we wouldn't be drenched by the time we got inside...hence the blurry pictures below. :)
Man I can't get over how much I love this handsome guy. 
On our way back home we of course had to stop by Panda Express for some dinner. Kevin is like a little, giddy school boy whenever he gets to eat there. He definitely misses having one close by. :)

There was rain, crazy lightening and wind the whole drive home. I'm grateful Kevin enjoys driving and that he is such a great driver. I would have been a crazy, stressed mess if I had been the one driving tonight but he was calm, cool and collected the entire time. :) The lightening was pretty intense. It would light up the whole sky! It reminded me of our summer living in Missouri. I don't mind the lightening...as long as Kevin is there. He helps me feel brave. :)

I love my husband and I love getting to go on dates with him. Tonight was much needed for both of us and I love that we were able to spend time together laughing, enjoying each others company and feeling peace at the temple. Such a lovely Tuesday!

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
