GLORY AND POWER OF GOD
I loved the Relief Society message this month. It totally went along with my feelings about my awesome uterus and my temple covenants. I won't go into too much detail about that because the last time I told someone, I felt like I'd cast pearls before swine, so I'll keep it to myself now, but it RE-confirmed the thoughts I'd had. I love it when Heavenly Father does that for me! He loves me so much. 9-21-15
FHE
Noah had the lesson and he decided to teach a lesson about the Priesthood. About an hour before FHE he came to Nate and asked him where in the scriptures does it talk about the Priesthood. He showed him Alma 13 (which I happened to know actually! How amazing is that!). So for Noah's lesson, he had us read a few verses from that chapter and talk about what they were saying. It was very cool that he was so on top of things on his own and that he felt so confident doing it on his own! I was so proud of him. My favorite part was his cute testimony at the end. It's incredible how powerful a testimony can be when it's coming from a sweet little seven year old! I loved it. Nate got a pumpkin roll for dessert :). Everyone loved it. 9-21-15
UGH
I just about died doing produce this week! Who knew. I'm thinking it was too soon. No permanent damage though, thank goodness. And Molly and Jack did pretty well too. Here's to a whole month before I need to do it again. 9-22-15
RECOVERY
So, I think it must have been produce that set me back this week. I don't even know what happened the rest of the week. I have been a little down. The baby blues probably. It's been extra overwhelming to think about Molly being our last baby. I need to get more used to the idea. We did make a little trip down to the park with Emily, Kate and Will, and we were blessed to have Stacy Empey bring dinner over Wednesday night. We all got to watch Bradley play his football game since it didn't start until after the YM/YW Superactivity wrap up (which was a LOT of fun! seeing all the old pictures. It's weird to see myself 8 months pregnant now... feels like it was forever ago, but just yesterday at the same time. I tried to remember how much pain I was in, to make myself feel better that I'm not there anymore... why doesn't that ever work?! I still ache to have another baby for some reason.). Bradley was fun to watch, he plays really well! I can't wait to go to more of his games! Nate's parents came up on Thursday just to hang out :). We went to Subway with them for lunch and then came back home so Ruth could hold Molly. She'd been in her carseat for well over 3 hours so she was starving and never really got happy for Grandma Ruthie... Kind of a bummer. I think she's just too much of a princess to cater to anyone else's whims.
WOMEN'S CONFERENCE
I went back and forth between us going and us staying home this time. When I realized that staying home so that the nice, clean house doesn't get messy for the blessing the next day was a lame reason to miss, I decided we better go. I was really glad to have Charity and Kelly so motivated to go as well. I may not have come to that conclusion without them. It was such a great meeting though. I'm so glad we went. I'm so glad Molly just laid there in my arms and was perfectly content through it all. The Spirit was so strong and there were so many things said that I needed to hear. There's something about hearing it live too- I'm just so glad we didn't wait to watch it on tv later. I loved all the talk about Joy and how we get to choose to be happy. Our "eternal happiness" has already started and we can be blessed with it now, we don't need to wait. I loved thinking about who I could serve and how I can teach my kids to serve. I really want to do more in that area. There was another reminder during the conference of how keeping my temple covenants has brought blessings that I wouldn't otherwise have. I love that something good has come of that. 9-26--15
