Two Lines= ?

I know that I don't have to tell any of you what 2 lines mean, but I will I am HAVING A BABY!!! This has been long over due. I have been contemplating this for over a year, I don't know why it was so hard to make the choice to become pregnant but it was. Now that is has happened I am really excited. It's one of those things that was much worse thinking about it. As you can imagine my girls are ecstatic!!! Shaun is still in shock that it really only does take "one shot" MaKaya, Lexi and Sanvanna were convinced that there was more than one baby, but the Dr. has confirmed that there is only one baby, much relief on my part. So when you see me around and I am fat as could be it has nothing to do with the peanut butter twixes that I eat daily it has all to do with the baby that I am housing. (I might get my feelings hurt if you tell me my stomach is the size of cantaloupe and my baby is only the size of golf ball)My due date is Halloween, of course we won't make it that far. I'm sure that you are all thinking that I'm hoping for a boy, but in all honesty I am perfectly happy with another girl, they are so cute and pink and everything. Well I must go my peanut butter twix is calling me.

My cup was filled today

Today I had the privilege of going to Stake Conference where Elder Jeffrey R Holland was there to speak to us. I am amazed at the power of this apostles testimony. He talked to the youth about the importance of building their testimony now, he talked to the parents about teaching the gospel to our children. He reminded us that the Holy Ghost is here to be with us, and that we need to partake of that blessing. He blessed us all as if he were laying his hands on our head. He laughed with us, he joked with us, he uplifted us. As he was closing his talk he bore his testimony of the truthfulness of our gospel, of our Savior, of Joseph Smith, our Father in Heaven and the Holy Ghost. I have never felt so much power and passion from anyone ever bearing witness of these principles. I know deep in my heart that he knows all of the things he spoke about were true. He doesn't just believe it he KNOWS that is real, and he KNOWS that it is true. Seeing a man so close to me that walks and talks with the prophet that is an apostle of Christ bearing witness of all these things touched me in a way that I have never been touched. The spirit testified to me with more power than I have ever felt before, that what I heard today was true. My testimony grew today.

I had the opportunity of meeting Dallin H Oaks when I was 8 years old. I haven't had the chance to meet another apostle. I knew that the likelihood for my children to have this opportunity to shake hands with an apostle was not going to come very often, so with Savanna on my hip and the other two behind me we waited in line to meet this very righteous man. My emotions were on the brink of spilling the whole meeting, and I was trying to avoid the question, "why are you crying mommy" but as I was waiting in line I couldn't stop the tears from coming, and Boo asked me why I was sad, it's difficult to explain to a 3 year old that when your heart is over flowing it comes out your eyes. We got our chance to shake hands with this great man. Being young my girls didn't really understand the significance of it, but one day they will. My heart has been changed today and I will never forget the powerful message that I received.
