temple nights

so this past week i was able to attend the temple not one night but two!!
thursday aarons cousin and her hubby got their endownments and were sealed!! i love going to sealings. it reminds me so much when aaron and i were sealed almost seven years ago.i totally remember when they brought in daniel and sariah, all in white it was one of the happiest days of my life. then on friday we went for our ward temple. night it was amazing, the night before we were five minutes late for the session so we did some other things. but we weren't late for this session. it had been a very long time sense we did a session. aaron and i are making it a goal of ours to go at least twice a month. so if any of you want to join in our goal let us know. maybe we can go together!!:)

Fourth of July fun

So we pretty much decided that this year we were gonna stay pretty simple for the 4th. we dint plan anything big, only to spent time with each other. we started off by sleeping in then heading over to aarons older brother dannys house, were he put in a ceiling fan!lol then they ordered pizza and we ate lunch. we then headed over to carson pool for a family swim. we were already in the neighborhood so we thought that would be fun. all the kids love swimming. sariah and daniel r now experts at the diving boards. after that we headed to the in laws to say hi. we got ther and they invited us to stay for bbq.. yay another meal i didnt have to prepare.lol after habnging with them a bit we decided to head on home to catch the schnepp farm fireworks. which r practically in our fronnt yard(not really but its only llike 3 miles away here are some pics of our day.

new calling part 2

so i got a call last week from the ex. secretary asking if i could meet with one of the bishopric. what went threw my mind was that they had a mix up because they just put in a new 2nd counselor. so yesterday when the ex Secretary called me back to confirm i asked him.. is this about my calling as a scout leader? because there was so much confusion with my scout calling.. meaning: that they actually called and sustained me in sacrament and i had no clue i was getting the calling.. i was not actually there that sunday when that had happened.. well he assured me it was for another calling! and i was thinking well i just got the scout calling and i was really looking forward to it.so last night i went in and they asked me to be a visiting teaching supervisor along with my scout calling!i was like cool 2 callings. i think this is just making up for the last year i was unable to have a calling!! i am so excited about both callings and for the changes it will have in me !!
this is truly a blessing and i cant wait
