Labor Day Weekend (So Far)

Watching the Game

This past weekend has been lots of fun! We started things off by going over to our friend's house to watch the BYU football game on TV. We won, so of course it was a very good night :)


Then, yesterday we made our way to to Temple Square in Salt Lake City to attend a FREE (whoot! whoot!) Paul Cardall piano concert. Paul Cardall is a new age and christian piano artist. The music in the room was beautiful, but the spirit that it invited was definitely the highlight. The best part of the concert was the testimony he bore before he played his last song, which was called "Redeemer." He testified that if there was anything broken in our lives that Christ could fix it, or that if we found ourselves in need of some comfort and shelter that we could find it in Him.

At the concert

"I love Jesus Christ," he concluded emphatically.

A tear slipped out of my eye and a feeling of warmness and devotion that I haven't felt in a while, because of the craziness of getting married and moving and starting a career, came over me. The feeling said: "I love Christ too," and I really do.

With that feeling still in my heart, the rest of the evening and all of today have been pretty top notch. Tonight we have our neighbors over for treats and games and tomorrow we go to the Ogden Temple Open House. Labor Day Weekend doesn't get much better than this.

Life Lately

HOLY COW! The past month has been one of the best/craziest whirlwinds of my life ever! Being married and moving into an apartment and teaching for the first time ever take up a lot of time! But I have loved it. Really loved it. It's awesome getting to come home knowing that Jon will be on the other side of the door. It's awesome having a job that keeps me so busy that I barely have time to scarf down lunch and that makes me wait three hours before going to the bathroom because I'm so busy but that I love to death anyway. Yup--pretty awesome. Pretty good.

Oh, and this happened for FHE tonight:
