Right Now

Right now:

• I am teaching myself to knit, and am about 1/8 finished with a striped scarf
• I am preparing to make more Jam - don't tell Brian, we have a surplus of jam still
• I am learning that I am happier when my home is clean - took long enough
• I am trying to develop particular habits - some are harder than others

Above all; Right Now I am in love with my husband! He is so sweet and generous to me (see last post!), he makes me laugh like no one else does, and I am not sure what I would do with out him.

It All Ends Here

Mom and I joined other faithful followers to the final installment of the Harry Potter Movies!  We were able to attend the midnight showing with some of Matt's close friends while he is away attending school at BYU-I.  Harry Potter 7 part 2 was fantastic! I was impressed with how they tried hard to stay true to the last book.  The character that still moves me is Snape.  (Spoiler) That they were able to depict the level of love that Severus held for Lily Potter was incredible and i am so glad they did that justice (in my opinion).

I was able to make our shirts, just with iron-on lettering and some apliques. I was able to attend a party before the movie where we made our own wands, and HP glasses.  also made were treats for all to take with us to enjoy at the movie; pumpkin pasties, chocolate covered cockroaches, and fizzing wizzbies.  Some of our group made thier Shirts with just sharpe markers and did it freehand.  Those turned out really cute, and they had some very creative ideas; Make love not Horcruxes, Horcruxes, gotta catch 'em all (like pokemon), Team Edward Harry,  I'm with muggle --->. 

We had such a great time and I cannot wait for the DVD to be released!

The love of our Heavenly Father

I have learned this past weekend of the love our Heavenly Father has for us. Jeremey and Mandy were married on Friday afternoon at the Quail building. It was a beautiful ceremony. Mandy was able to wear my wedding dress, after some minor alterations. She looked beautiful. Side note: there was a huge dragon fly that was circling around Jeremey and Mandy and Pres. Jones, it was gigantic. Melissa is pregnant with Jessie. She told me this on Saturday morning while we were at moms. I cried the whole way home. Kevin and Beth are also pregnant. Kevin called Brian on Sunday to tell him the big news. I had a meltdown about it. And to make it worse Brian just made fun of me while I was crying. I asked him later why he did that, he told me that he was not sure what to do, and was uncomfortable, and he was ‘trying’ to make me laugh. I was sure to tell him that ‘trying’ to make me laugh by making fun of me only makes it worse. I told him that if he is uncomfortable and not sure what to do, to do nothing. I will stop crying much quicker. He voiced understanding which made me feel better :) Side note: Kevin told Brian that if Beth had a wiener that she would have had a boner for the last week! Too funny Amanda and Travis are NOT Pregnant – currently :), when I left mom’s house on Tuesday afternoon she walked me out to my car, she gave me a big hug and told me that she and Travis are praying for me. She told me not to worry, and that it will happen for me, and that there are special spirits waiting on the other side for the right moment to come to us, she said that she did Initiatory work in the Temple this morning, and thought of me durring it, she said that I should go. She also said that Brian and I will be really good parents, fun ones too. I just cried while she hugged me. This is where it hit me that my Father in Heaven does love me and knows what I need to hear, I am so grateful for the gospel in my life and for siblings that know how to follow the spirit, so that I can know of Heavenly Father’s Love.
