Broadcast and Conference Weekend!

Ok, so I know I'm not a Young Woman any more and I don't have a calling with them either, but I did watch the General Young Women's Broadcast online and LOVED it! What a great message: "BE STRONG AND OF A GOOD COURAGE" I forgot how much I miss having such powerful inspiration given to the Young Women! I especially loved President Uchtdorf's talk, about "Once Upon A Time" and "Happily Ever After"!!!! Oh my goodness! That was just the talk I needed to hear right now! Opposition is a part of life, and we all have to overcome it... We just need to do it the right way! Withe help of our Heavenly Father and our Savior Jesus Christ, through prayer and faith.... we most definitely can overcome anything that comes our way! If you haven't watched this broadcast.... YOU MUST WATCH IT!

In preparation for this weekend and General Conference, I have decided to re-read all of the talks from October's Conference! I've been under a lot of stress lately and I have let a lot of the "little/simple things".... you know the ... "a very large ship is benefited very much by a very small helm in the time of a storm..."(D&C 123:16) types of things, and I don't like the way it makes me feel. It is so amazing how just by striving to pray and study the Scriptures each day can make a whole world of difference! I have all the help I need.... I just can't let it slip again. Anyway, I want to be totally SPIRITUALLY and MENTALLY prepared for Conference this weekend. I am "STARVING" for the words that are going to be spoken! So, I'm going to attempt to read all the talks! And, Tom and I are going to the Temple of Friday, to do Endowments and Sealings! I love this Gospel, the Scriptures, the Prophets, the Temple, and most importantly.... My Father in Heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ!
What a great weekend it is going to be.... We get to hear from the Prophet of God and celebrate Easter and remember the INFINITE Atonement of our Savior and His TRIUMPHANT victory over death! Does it get any better than this? I think not!
P.S. We moved into our house this last weekend! We absolutely LOVE it! Pictures are coming, I promise! I just need to get everything unpacked and then they will be posted! Be very excited.... I know you can hardly wait to see them!!!! =)

House Update

Well... after a little bit of stress last week, everything seems to be in order for us to still get this amazing, cute, little house! We have the BEST agent that we are working with and she is helping us out so much! So, if all continues to go well... we'll close on the loan on the 23rd and have possession by the 25th! And then several men from the ward are going to come help us move that weekend! I'm going to order blinds today so we can have them up by the time we move in! We are really excited! Now, I just need to find the motivation to pack! Oh, after this move, I don't want to have to pack up my house for several years! It's not my favorite thing to do!
Tom and I are both sick and trying to get over these silly colds. Tom has almost completely lost his voice. Poor thing! And I'm starting to feel a little better, except I can't hear out of my left ear and haven't been able to for almost a week. Not fun at all!
Well, life is going pretty well and we are happy!
