I love to see the temple....

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to take Wesley and my parents to the Rexburg Idaho temple, to take out my own endowments. It was such a wonderful experience. My head is still buzzing from everything I did and learned in that Holy House of the Lord. By the way Heavenly Father has really cute carpet. :) it was such a joy as we finished our session to look to my left and see my wonderful husband-to-be, and to look to my right and see my beautiful mother and father and realise that because of the righteous choices we have all made, I get to be with them (and all of my family) throughout the eternities. The day was thoroughly spiritually and mentally exhausting, and I can barely remember everything, but I know that I made the right choice not only for myself, but also for my little family. I can't wait til the next time Wesley takes me to the Temple, and all the times after that. I love the Lord and his Son Jesus Christ. I am grateful for Christ's atoning sacrifice and for the power of Temple ordinances and covenants. Today I am a great big happy bomb, ready to explode with joy.

PSYCH!!!!

So, our landlady turned out to be a lunatic. She called Wesley at the beginning of the week and told him that we were asking for too many favors. Escuse moi? Have you seen your house Mrs. Frodo? WE were the ones doing YOU the favor! She also said we would have to take said crappy house as is, because A: its a rental, take it or leave it, and B: she doesn't like paint. What the what? She said the reason for all the creepy wood paneling (aka parquet on the walls, cupboard doors nailed to walls, icky noncohesive 80's wood paneling) was that wood is low maintenance. Or in other words, she's too darn lazy to wash her walls and even lazier as to not want to paint or improve upon anything! So, we are picking option 2 of reason A. Leaving. Bwahaha..... We are leaning towards an apartment in San Bernardino. 2bed/1 or 2bath, 600-650/month. I really like it. Its far away enough that we are on our own, but close enough to spend time with family. Wesley doesn't like that its about 20 miles to work, but I think it will be alright. I just want to regain the feeling that we have SOMETHING nailed down. This apt. is also a month to month lease so we could always move if we find something better. If anyone knows of an affordable place to live that is closer, holler!
