Awesome Pictures

I made Jonathan come on a photo shoot with me so we could get some decent pictures before we get sealed. These came out so well, of course there are some "fat" ones of me (not shown below) but Jonathan always takes good pictures! These are some of my faves:





If you'd like some pictures like these, visit Kelly's (the photographer) blog, she's amazing and very reasonably priced.

I Love This Guy!

Isn't he adorable? I guess I should say hot or handsome, as he isn't an infant, but I think he's adorable. He's the best husband ever. He works so hard for our family and he's such a good uncle to all the nieces and nephews. I can't wait to be sealed to him in 9 days. I can't wait to start a family with him. He's my hero because he's so spiritually in-tune. He is always doing service for others, even when he may not want to. He takes care of our yard and house and dogs and cars. He's so talented and loves working with his hands. He's a great cook. He's a great driver. Basically, he takes care of me - and sometimes that's not easy. I love him!

Testimony

As I prepare to go to the temple I've been thinking a lot about my testimony lately. There's no doubt in my mind that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church. I've been thinking a lot about Joseph Smith lately and what a marvelous and scary thing he did. I can't imaging how lonely he felt through most of his life, being the only one on the earth with first-hand knowledge of Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and their true gospel. I can't imagine how hard it must have been for him, just a boy, to endure the persecution he did, and it never ended. Even when the church was growing and there were other witnesses, he was still hounded, hunted. It's sad how he and other church members were treated, but if it wasn't for them and their strength and courage I wouldn't be able to freely worship today. I know I take it for granted. I've never had someone want to kill me for my religion, seriously try to take my life because of what I believed.

I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon as well. What a special companion it is to the Bible. The information contained in its pages is infinite, just like the gospel. There's no end to learning and progressing within this church. And it's sad but true that some of us (myself included) have to learn the same things time and time again. But that's the best part, that you can.

I love the church. I love my Heavenly Father. I love my savior, Jesus Christ. I love Joseph Smith. And I love the current prophet, Thomas S. Monson. I know this gospel is true. I know it.

Rock On!

We watched Kage & Jaida a couple weeks ago and all they wanted to do was play Guitar Hero. Kage kept playing "My Name is Jonas" over and over, he's very intense when he plays. And Jaida loves to rock out when she "plays". Here are some cute videos of the kids. Rock and Roll!

Some News

I'll start with the good news. Jonathan and I will be getting sealed on July 3, 2008, in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. Check your mailbox for announcements!

Also, Jonathan got a new job! Not really a new job, but a new position. He still works for Geneva Rock, but he's now a mechanic/oil technician. We like everything about his new position except for the hours. His shift is 3 PM to 12 AM. So we hardly get to see each other and that stinks, but everything fell into place perfectly which makes us think that it's what he needs to do. He will now be able to take a full schedule in the fall without it interfering with his work schedule, AND he works all year - no seasonal lay off! We get to see each other at lunch every day and Friday mornings and all day Saturday and Sunday. So far it's been okay, but it's only been about a week - and a busy one at that. We'll see how we feel about it in a month or two.

I wish I had other news - like a new addition to our family, but I don't - so don't ask :) Loves!
