Coming Around Again

Tomorrow will be the last day the temple is open for two weeks.  SK and I spent the better part of serving there today.  It is a beautiful place to be, and we both are spiritually fed by being there.  Since it is small temple, the coordinators are kind enough to give us assignments together....which is fun.

We walked hand in hand down from the celestial room today and found a quiet spot to whisper together.  I almost felt like a teenager again!

There were 4 YSAs on the last session today....one stunning tall slim blonde young woman, and three handsome young men.  What is it with the Danes?  They are beautiful!  These three are exceptional in very important ways too, case in point...on a Friday night they were at the temple!....and I am sure that there is a line of eligible YSAs who would love to have a date with any one of them.

I keep a little 5-year diary, with just enough room on a page for a very very short entry for a day, with 5 years to a page.  For example, today September 26 has 2012, 2013, 2014, and next year and the year after.  I have never done anything like this, and it is fascinating to read just one thought from last year at this time, and the year before.

September 26, 2013, we were excitedly preparing to enter the MTC on September 30, and Lia had just announced that she was pregnant.  It doesn't seem that long ago, yet we have nearly a year gone by of our mission and Lia has little 4-month old Rebekah.

It is nearly a month since Erin and Ethan were here.  We looked forward to it for so long, and now it has slipped into the past.  I held up a picture of them at a castle for SK to see....he got all broken up!

It's a good thing we have all these wonderful YSAs around....

  1. This is probably the shortest entry of your entire mission- and prior. A Great day though. Sure is good to be older - and still in love. Keep it up! L&P

  2. I'm sure you have mixed feelings about the entry you'll be making a year from today--I just have happy feelings. :)

  3. Yes...for sure. If this next year does go by so fast, I pray that I will squeeze every drop of every day out of this experience. But I am sooooo looking forward to being with you and the family again. Love you.
