Cindy Nurr's Event

One of the ladies that I have met through Awaken did a seminar tonight and so I attended it with Trichelle and a few other ladies.  It was at Cindy's house and was about hypnotherapy.  Cindy has always enjoyed helping and teaching children.  After she retired from teaching preschool she felt  the need and desire to go back to school.  She earned a degree but then was introduced to Hypnotherapy.  She feels like she will be able to help others with her knowledge and gift.  I do believe that hypnosis is a powerful way to heal some things from our past.  I had a session years ago with a friend and it was amazing.

Cindy started her presentation with a prayer which I thought was really cool.  She was hesitant but was encouraged by Amber since this was her event and she felt the need.  It was awesome.  I know that God had provided many different ways of helping his children to heal and better their lives.  I know that Cindy has been directed to this path and that through her others will be healed and brought closer to our Heavenly Father.

It was a great night.  I love the friendships that I have made in the past several months. I love seeing how supportive everyone is to each other.  We are all important in God's plan...plain and simple!

Lagoon?

Today Kevin came and got the Air Hockey and our Pop A Shot.  We are trying to simplify our lives and we feel like these toys have served their purpose in our home.  Even though we have grands that enjoy them, we also have little ones that are too little who also want to play.  We just feel like these things will be enjoyed at another house more.  Having them gone feels so good.  The room feels lighter.  I was glad he brought his little gang and that we got to have them come inside to play while he took things apart.  I love these faces.  I love how Kevin just continues on with his kids in tow.  It makes me smile.  I'm happy that our Hockey table and Pop A Shot will be enjoyed by our kids and grands still.

Trichelle takes her kids to Lagoon on Wednesdays and she invited me to go with them. She told me that I would really enjoy hearing them laugh and even scream.  It sure brings joy to her and she knew it would me as well.  We thought I could get in and just watch....wrong!  I needed to buy a pass as well which I wasn't willing to do for just a few hours.  The kids were looking forward to it and so I told them to just go and I would wait.  Trichelle gave me her keys so I could go to Station Park.  I found a cool spot under a tree though and was planning on sitting there and watching people.  I had barely positioned myself when I got a call from Ivy.  They thought it was mean to leave me and so they came back out.  I really didn't mind waiting because I knew it wasn't going to be long.  We went to Station Park together instead.  We just walked around.  We went in Build a Bear and as cute as though bears are, they can get expensive.  That's when I realize how conservative I am.  If I got a child a bear from there it would come out naked.

We got us a drink at Fiiz and sat by the fountain and visited while the boys threw pennies in the pool.  I'm sure they didn't make any wishes but they enjoyed throwing away our pennies.  I had fun and I hope the kids didn't mind too much.  Next year I think I'll just get a pass so I can go watch.  (maybe even this year)

Temple

The Temple is one of my favorite places to go.  I'm so glad that Cindy and Lisea invited me to join them each week.  I was doing a good job of attending on my own but it is really nice to be able to rub shoulders with these sweet ladies once a week.  I also love the Sealers and other Temple workers that we see every week.  I truly feel loved on Wednesdays.

We noticed that there are tomato plants by the east doors on both sides.  There are also some poinsettias right now.....interesting to me.

Our groups was split up today and so I thought we'd get to the alter a few more times but I still only got there two times.  I know it really doesn't matter how often I kneel at the alter since the amount of work being done is the same.  I love hearing the blessing of the sealings.  I'm reminded how blessed I am to have those blessings.
