Super Day

Today was Fast and Testimony Meeting at Church.  We had a few visitors with our Ward today,  Elder Fisher (apostle over our Stake) and President Jones. (our Stake President)  Larry and I both thought that having them there might intimidate our members from sharing their testimonies.  The counselor that was conducting asked us to keep our testimonies to 2-3 so that more would have the opportunity to share.  Wow....no one was intimidated but I think everyone felt the Spirit!  From the very first testimony shared there were others waiting to share theirs.  We had people sitting on the front benches the entire meeting.  I wonder why that doesn't happen every month?  It should...the meeting is so much better when others share.  I did share mine and was the second one up because I just can't help myself or hold back anymore.  I love having the Spirit (Holy Ghost) with me and I have learned that I'd better not ignore Him or pick and choose when I listen to Him.  My heart gets crazy and I can't swallow and my palms sweat and that is not comfortable at all and so I just go with it and share my testimony month after month.  It makes me laugh every time these days.  I could care less what others think or say.  I know for what ever reason I am to share my testimony with others.  It might just be a test of obedience for me....it doesn't matter....I will share.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the True Church. (others are wonderful just not complete)  Joseph Smith was courageous and it was through him that it was reorganized.  Heavenly Father does know each of us and so does Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost.  They each love us unconditionally as well.  It is through Jesus that we are able to return to our Heavenly Parents.  Jesus is are advocate.  The Atonement is Real and blesses each and everyone of us.  It's for us all and we all need it!  We are blessed to have a living Prophet and when we follow the Prophet we will always be right!  The Temples and scriptures, and church are to bless us and help us to be happy.  God talks to us through the scriptures and the Holy Ghost.  The Temple is a wonderful place to receive answers to our prayers.  The temple is all about love and families.  I am thankful I will be with my cute family forever.  I am glad that I will also have the blessing of being sealed to my parents soon.  Life is good when we focus on Heavenly Father.  The commandments are to protect us and bless us...not restrict us!  Heavenly Father wants us back and will direct us if we let Him!  Church was Super!

Today is also the Super Bowl...which I could care less about.  I don't care for football or sports on Sunday but the kids enjoy it and that is the only reason it is enjoyable to me.  Having them together and here is the best.

I invited the Coy family over for dinner since we always say we need to get together more often.  I didn't realize it was even the Super Bowl but didn't really care.  I figured the game could be on and those that wanted to watch could and the rest could visit or play.  It was a noisy but fun night.

I usually like to stop and watch the commercials and half time but that didn't really happen.  I did see most of the half time from the table and actually thought it was pretty family friendly.  I googled the commercials the next day and saw a few on the internet.  I heard the game was good.  At the end the team that had been behind was able to score and win.  I do know the teams that played but really don't care to have it recorded here...because...I don't really care.

I really enjoyed having the Coys over.  I enjoyed watching our grands enjoy each other and I enjoyed visiting with everyone and watching the visiting going on throughout the room.  I love seeing our kids and the Coy kids parent their children.  They all do such a great job.

Kelsi and Braxton didn't come today because Kelsi has started having contractions and thought staying home would be more comfortable.  I guess things are starting to happen for the arrival of Sadie Lou.  I'm hoping that Sadie does come before the 15th....I think it would be cool if she was born on my Mom's birthday which is the 9th.  Funny things we think while awaiting for the little one's arrival.  Any day is perfect!

Our Dolphin Fans showed up today even though the Dolphins were not in the super bowl.  Kevin and his family were true to their team!

It really was a Super Day in every way!  Hooray! (the only cheer from me)

Let's Talk Travel Meme

Ok let’s talk travel, do you like to travel? Yes...I think traveling is fun to do.  I like having a break from the normal life every once in awhile.

Where have you been? Oh my...I have been to Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Israel, Italy, Germany, Hawaii. To the LDS Church History Sites, California, Pennsylvania, Yellowstone.  We've got around. ☺

Next place you want to go? hmmmm...Disneyland and Hawaii

What is something you MUST take with you when you travel? My camera..since I started blogging and making books from my blogs I love taking pictures.

How do you like to travel? (mode of transportation) I prefer to get there the quickest way possible which is flying.  I'm so glad we get sky miles so that we don't usually have to pay for transportation.

With someone, or alone? I prefer traveling with others...my family and friends always make life more enjoyable.  So I prefer not to be alone in my travels.

Do you dance in your car when there are other people with you? that would depend on who.  I do when it's my kids or grands.  I will bounce with the music any time if I want to though.

If you're quiet what does it mean? That I am thinking or troubled about something.  It might also mean that I am knocked out or asleep since I am not usually quiet.

Favorite scent?  I love the smell of things baking or cooking, grass, baby powder and lotion, my hubby, chocolate, flowers, rain, gummy bears, camp fires or ditches after being burned.

Favorite store? I guess Walmart since they get more of my money than any other store.

Say you wanted coffee.. what kind is your favorite?  No Coffee for me...however I do enjoy the smell of coffee.  I prefer Hot Chocolate and like Mint Chocolate or Cherry Chocolate.

Favorite kind of pizza? I like meat pizza....I really like most pizza.

Do you get embarrassed easily? Not as much now because I don't care as much what others think.

Do you mind people asking you personal questions? Not at all.  I don't mind sharing my life with others. 

You have a tank of gas, $50, and the day off… what do you do?  put the $50 in my stash to add to it.  As far as what I'd do with my time I'm not sure.  I like going to lunch with friends, or getting a pedicure but sometimes I just enjoy staying home and  relaxing since that doesn't happen much.

Favorite tv show? I don't watch tv...so no favorites.  I use to like America's idol, or dancing with the stars but haven't watch those for years.  I would rather read a book than watch tv.

Song you turn the volume up all the way to listen to? The Happy Song or anything with a good beat.

Something you keep in your car? My purse...it's in my glove box most of the time.

 Highlight of your day? I love our family time in the mornings when we all meet by my bed and read scriptures together and say a prayer together as a family.  Before anyone leaves my room I get a hug and kiss from each member.  I love that most!

 Something you do everyday that you wish you didn’t have to do? Prepare meals....I don't enjoy cooking dinner because I don't like deciding what to have.

 Do you mind if people just show up at your house unannounced?  Not at all...any time you want to come over is fine with me.

What do you do when you disagree with someone? I'd probably tell them depending on the circumstance.  Sometimes just letting things go is better though.  I don't like to stir things up or get too involved in things that don't pertain to me.

Do you enjoy rain? I do enjoy the rain.  When it rains I get a comfy feeling and like to stay inside and read a book with a blanket.  As a child I loved being soaked by the rain.  I would probably still enjoy that but I don't like getting ready more than once a day.

Who’s your favorite person in the whole world? Each member of my family is my favorite! ♥
