Happy Birthday Temple!

Last night I went to a pre-birthday party for our temple!
I love how the entrance was decorated.
I loved the celebration even better!

Some times thrifting looks like this:

 
I Love Pottery Barn Books!
 
 
I love Aqua, Birds and Pottery Barn Teen!
(Rug after a bath!)
 
 
 

 
I love a good "Cheep" thrift!

Candy Corn!

 
 
 
 
While driving some where last night I handed
a candy pumpkin to one of the cute girls at the group home
 (where I work). I then asked her if a pumpkin is a fruit or a vegetable?
She looked at me perplexed and said
"It's a candy!"

It's the little things...

 
 

 
*The 1.50 items at Michael's were on clearance!
My little sister and I spent over an hour going
through everything and finding sweet finds!!
She got her Christmas neighbor gifts. I got the 1
cent ring above. I LOVE a good deal!
 
*Today at Walmart I asked if I could get the die-ing plants
marked down. I was told "no they we're just throwing them away!"
What the heck!!
 
*I hate to drive by the temple w/ it's gates locked and no
people in sight!
 
*The 97 cent nail polish at Target is cheap. It's a no go!
 
*I love this fallish weather.
 
Happy Fall!!

Write!

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Write it on your heart
that every day is the best day in the year.
He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day
who allows it to be invaded with fret and anxiety.
Finish every day and be done with it.
You have done what you could.
Some blunders and absurdities, no doubt crept in.
Forget them as soon as you can, tomorrow is a new day;
begin it well and serenely, with too high a spirit
to be cumbered with your old nonsense.
This new day is too dear,
with its hopes and invitations,
to waste a moment on the yesterdays.

Usher



*Today I woke up at 6 AM! It was surprisingly DARK!
*I saw the sky turn pink around the temple. BEAUTIFUL!
*It was cold before the sun came up.
*I was able to spend 7 hours on the temple grounds.
*First I ushered in the baptistery! LOVELY!
*I saw ALL walks of life.
*I saw eyes glow w/ love for the temple.
*I admire WHOLE families who came to the temple so EARLY!
*I got to see the brides room. The brides room is not on the
public tour because there is no way to get
 so many people in and out smoothly! So each day
it sits clean and pure and perfectly sparkling. Waiting!
Kind of like a new bride waiting for her day!
*Mid day I went out side to greet people in the plaza in
front of the temple.
*It was fun to see people from all walks of life. All colors
and all manner of dress.
*I took millions of pictures for people!
*Some people have SUPER nice cameras!
So nice I thought about what would happen if I dropped one!
(OOOooo not good!)
*Kids loved the fountain!
*One kid put his WHOLE head under water! His parent weren't fans!
*It is amazing how people who have never met, and
have no training or preparations
can pull off such a HUGE task DAILY and w/ very few hiccups!
*In my early morning meeting it was said they have had 340,00 people visit
the temple. Some days 6,000 visit! Amazing!
*I got a killer sunburn while taking "millions" of pictures!
*I had to share my genealogy and life status far to many times to
people who kinda know me. Sighhh!!
*A german reporter had a guided VIP speaking tour. She asked LOTS of
tough questions. One she asked was if we wore clothing in the font.
I am sure glad we do!!

What a blessing!
 
 

"The temple is the house of the Lord.
The basis for every
temple ordinance and covenant…
is the Atonement of Jesus Christ. Every activity,
every lesson, all we do in the Church,
point to the Lord and His holy house."
—Russell M. Nelson
 


Last Night

 
A co-worker prompted me to come up w/ a craft
for the group home ladies I work w/.
Cheap and quick is the best route!
Toilet paper, a stick and some tissue paper and
we were done. They look so cute lined up on the
TV cabinet! Andddd when pumpkin time is over...they are
back to their useful self w/ little waste and no storage!

*My current fav. show is...
BBC's 24 hours in the ER! Love the Red Phone!

*Sadly peach season is over!
*Garden tomatoes no more! Sniff Sniff!
*Yesterday I had a tooth ach repaired! Two
shots later I am good as new!
*I am not a fan of silver fillings!
*Once while teaching preschool a child asked
my why I had bugs in my teeth.
They were my silver feelings!
 
Happy Fall!
