The Spirit of God

I must admit, though- at the end of the day, I was utterly exhausted!!! I did all three shifts and helped clean up afterwards......so we ended up leaving at 10:30 pm. But, I wouldn't trade that day for anything in the world!! What made it even more of an amazing experience is that I will be able to be sealed in that very temple in less than 23 days! On the last shift, Aaron's (my wonderfully amazing fiance) post was directly outside the sealing room. So every time we would leave the sealing room I would get to see his handsome face. To be honest, I got emotional several times. I can't wait to marry him!! But, I don't need to get started on him..... this post will never end!!! :) Anyway, I just wanted to share a tidbit of my experience yesterday!
Before I close, I just want to share a little bit of my testimony- I know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is the restored gospel upon the face of the earth. I know that My Savior suffered and died for me (okay, maybe all of us.....), I know that temples have been set up on the earth to make it possible that we can all return home to be with our Heavenly Father AND be with our families for all eternity. I don't know about you, but I don't think it would be heaven without MY family there..... I think I'd opt out of that one. I know the Book of Mormon was an inspired book written by prophets of ancient America. I'm so extremely grateful to all those who have sacrificed so much just so that I can learn more about my Father in Heaven and His plan for me. I know that Joseph Smith was called of God to restore the gospel to the earth. I leave all of this with you- in my brother's name, even Jesus Christ, Amen.

Follow-up
Well, the blind date was so much fun! We went to a tapas restaurant....which is where they serve finger foods (or appetizers) instead of full dishes. It was delicious! Then we went back to my friend's house to play my Wii. The entire time I was laughing. He seems like a fun guy. Not a juicy update- but that's the way it went. He didn't try anything and opened all my doors for me. So, I think it was a good date.

Still alive! :)
Sorry I've slacked off. Life has become so hectic, yep, again! But, I am still alive and plugging away. I signed up for another half marathon- April 28th. I'm excited AND nervous. It seems like each time I sign up for one of these things, stuff happens. I got sick with the flu- then had all sorts of test and assignments....... maybe I'll get around to training for it. Maybe. And right now, I should be working on a talk for church tomorrow. But, I am so nervous- not having given a talk for seven years, makes the event a little nerve racking. Oh well. I'm sure it'll be fine. Thankfully, I think everyone somewhat loves me there....... haha, I sure hope so anyway.
I have had the opportunity to help teach an investigator lately, which has been a lot of fun. She has asked so many deep questions that I've just never thought about before. So, it's been a lot of fun to learn and grow with her. She is an amazing girl.
I think that is about all. I lead a pretty boring life (haha, okay- not so much, I just can never remember when I go to post these things!).

A wonderful beginning
On January 5th I took the GRE, which is the Graduate Record Examination. Pretty much, it's the SAT for graduate school. I was so nervous because I felt like I hadn't had much time to study for it. Well, I'm sure you all know by now- but I made 350 points more than I needed to get into grad school!!! WOOHOO! Now, I just have to start working on grad school applications. What a wonderful way to start off the new year.
On a different note, I didn't make many "New Year's Resolutions" because I am starting to feel that just because it's a new year, doesn't mean that's the only time you should make goals. So, I am just continuing goals I made last year.
I am constantly amazed at how quickly life is flying by me. I am really starting to realize the importance of living to the fullest and working on becoming a much better person. With that- I leave you all with a quote I recently discovered:
"Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresea, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein." ~Life's Little Instruction Book, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
