ONE YEaR DOWN

WEll everyone its about that time! Sam and i have almost been married for one year! i cant believe how fast its gone by! but what my one year mark that im going to talk about now is... ONE year since i have been an endowed member of the CHURCH of JEsus CHrist of Latter Day Saints! i cant believe it! what a WONDERFUL blessing it has been to be able to go through such a holy and sacred place! I have been able to recieve so many INCREDIBLE blessings because of my decision to go through the temple. I am so thankful to my HEavenly Father for allowing such BEAUTIFUL blessings into my life! the Temple is SUCH an IMPORTANT place, and i know that all of our lives get busy and hectic, but it really is VITAL for us all to attend regularly! i hope that Sam and I can work on getting there more frequently! what a wonderful blessing to have so many temples so close to where we live! IT will be one YEar tomorrow that I recieved my endowment in the Logan Utah LDS temple. wow how FABULOUS! :)
