I find it funny to look at the last post I wrote in which I had 2 months to go until I was getting married. Time FLEW, literally, and we are now down to 2 WEEKS! Holy crap it's insane and I am literally dying with excitement and anticipation! Life has been pretty crazy. Who knew having a full time job kept you so occupied? I do love my job, but it's been interesting to see what becoming an adult is really like. I still would like to think I'm a little kid! I work as a CNA at an assisted living where I work upstairs in the memory care neighborhood. In other words, the residents that have dementia or Alzheimer's in all different forms or degrees. It keeps me on my toes that is for sure! I never pictured myself ever working at a place like that, but it's funny where life leads you and the things you discover about yourself! For example, I actually do have a lot more patience than I ever thought i did. I have a lot of people ask me how I do it, but really it's the same with everything. I just do it. Sure, some days at work are harder than others. Sometimes you're wore out emotionally and physically, but you push through it just like anything else. I wouldn't trade what I have done, though someday I hope to move on to other things, I am truly grateful for the things I have learned and the residents who have touched my life and the ones that still do daily. But on to some other things that have been on my mind!
The TEMPLE! My goodness how I can't even wait to go inside. My mother and I went to Deseret Book the other day to purchase all of the things I need and it was so exciting! It was a great experience, even when the lady who came to help us told me I looked like a 12 year old and there was no possible way I could be getting married. (such a typical thing that happens to me, you would think it never got old...) Anyway, going and doing that with my mom really made me realize "wow, this is really happening!" In the car ride home I asked my mom is she was ready to let me go. Let's just say we held hands the rest of the drive home and cried together. Even though I am more than excited and ready to get married, it's still kind of hard to think about leaving my family! I know they aren't far away, and that they'll always be there but it's still hard. I think it's funny the difference between guys and girls because we are just so emotional about everything. I just hope I can be a amazing mother like my mom someday, and that kind of scares me thinking about living up to that! It'll be different coming home and being the one who has to make dinner and all of that instead of just relying on my mom to do it (cause I'm so like that haha). But I am ready. I'm just really grateful for the temple and knowing that I get to be with my family forever. I know that Kyle and I are making the best and most important decision of being sealed in the temple. It is going to be one of the most amazing, once in a lifetime experiences and I'm so grateful I get to share it with my one and only. I'm so excited to receive my endowment in 11 DAYS!!!!!! Going through the temple has been something I've wanted my whole life and I'm so happy I have made the choices I have and stayed worthy to go through! I literally am just so excited, I can hardly even wait!
-I love to see the temple I'm going there in 14 days. To feel the holy spirit to listen and to pray and get sealed to Kyle:) For the temple is a house of Got a place of love and beauty, I prepared myself when i was young. I'm about to fulfill my sacred duty.
The Gospel is TRUE!
