Going to the Temple

Alyssa and I got to go to the temple today and it was really nice to first off go with her and get to visit without kids around needing kid things but also to be in the temple with my sister
I love the Cardston temple because it was the start of us. I smiled as I walked past the sealing room where we were joined for eternity. Going through the vail that once had your hand pulling me through. Walking past the entrance where I saw you for the first time on our wedding day and being washed over with a feeling of peace and completely knowing that this was a foreverly great thing. I missed hearing you clear your throat as I sat in the session, picking out your voice saying "Yes" and getting to sit close to you in the celestial room hand in hand contemplating eternity. I think we need to renew our goal of going to the temple once a month. We have gotten out of it and I truly miss it. I miss seeing you in white:)

I just read through my goals and now just forgot them, I know the temple was one of them and playing with the kids. Ava and I accomplished that one with a rousing game of cat family "I can speak cat mom!, Meow meow meow!" although we are still working on understanding what we speak.

The temple reminds me of Gods love for me. What a perfect reminder of the beginning and our progression towards the end. I was thinking about when the angle asks Adam why he is offering sacrifices and he says I know not save the Lord commanded me. And right now I feel that is scripture study for me. I know I am supposed to do it and I have faith that it is a good thing and as I am consistent in faith It will be revealed to me but I need to be diligent in this moment just because it is a commandment from my Father.

My goals for tomorrow are to work our from 8:30-9
organize the bathroom cupboards
finish Austyn's halloween bag
and practice piano with the kids.

I regret not getting to talk to you but I am thankful for my busy productive enjoyable day. You are my sunshine, and I will think of you as the clouds of grey snow start coming in the next month or two.
love your eternal flame:)

oh I just looked again and yes I did make an effort to put my phone away and be apart of the here and now. I will continue on with this goal the rest of the week because it is so important.
