I Love To See The Temple

 
       Going to the temple, helps me to reconnect with the lord and come closer to god. Nothing puts life into perspective more then going to the temple for me.  I woke up thinking we had a long week with lots to do we will just go to the temple tomorrow. When it comes to going to the temple it is so easy to make up excuses on why we should wait until another day. However lately my husband and I have made a goal to go every week, and that has helped us not let anything get in our way of going. I looked at my husband and said "are we still going to the temple today?" and he replied and said that he was planning on it. Which made me super happy  to know that he was ready and willing to go. We go to the temple right after my husband gets off work, my daughter gets to spend the night with my mom and have dinner. Which is really fun for her, she also doesn't like us leaving but I know she enjoys the time she has with her grandma. We usually go on Fridays because its date night anyway and what better way to spend date night then by eating dinner together and then going to the temple to feel closer to the lord. Going to the temple is such a spiritual boost for me I feel like I have a greater desire to come home and do my best. As well as get projects done around the house, and do what Heavenly Father would have me do. Plus it helps to really focus on why I am there, I love doing work for my ancestors and every time we go we try and find names to take, so that we can make sure we are taking care of those who came before us. This also helps me put into perspective why I am there and that the work I am doing is very important.

        I have been doing Yoga with my daughter in the mornings recently which has been really fun. Seeing her try to do all the poses is quite funny. She doesn't do everything with me she mostly plays, but its fun to have her with me as I try to do yoga everyday. I love yoga way more then regular exercise because it helps strengthen my body as well as help me to feel nice and relaxed which is super nice. It also is really great to have a good work out after drinking my green smoothie for the day. I am not the best at eating healthy and excessing but I am doing my best everyday . I also feel that I need to do what works best for me, and not care about how or what everyone else dose. If this is what works for me then that's all that matters.

       I was able to rearrange my Daughters room yesterday so that we could get ready for our little boy whos coming in December. I can't wait, it will be so much fun to have another little one in our home. I need to get going on painting a picture for his side of the room. I painted my daughter an elephant picture when I found out I was pregnant with her, so for my son I am doing the same thing. His side of the room is going to be lion theme, we are doing an Africa safari theme between the two so that the room flows. We are putting all the stuff for my son in the crib until we can organize the room better as time goes on. Along with my daughters stuff animals because she has so many and I don't now where to put them all, and there is not enough room on the floor with all the other toys. So until I find a way to organize everything they are in the crib for now. I put the rocking chair in the room as well, we had it in our room before. We are trying to work on my daughter only sleeping in her own bed and not being in our bed anymore. She is old enough now where she needs to be in her own bed and not in ours. So by getting her to sleep in her room will help. As well as us not being lazy at night and when she cries putting her back to sleep in her bed rather then just put her in ours. It wont be easy but it really is the best thing for her. With us having another baby we need to start to have her in her own bed before the new baby comes. This time around we are not going to have kids in our bed because it takes so long to get them out. We bought a bassinet so the baby can be on the side of our bed but not in our bed. When we had our daughter we had one that sat on the bed in the middle of us which wasn't exactly the most practical but it worked during the time. This time we are going to do something different.
      Until next time have a wonderful day.
