FEELING SO BLESSED!!

I am speechless.... Words cannot express how grateful I am to the Lord for His holy house... I am so blessed to have been able to receive my endowments today... In the Jordan River Temple... With my mom at my side, I truly felt the spirit of the Lord... Everything I have been taught in my life up until now in the gospel, makes so much more sense... I have a clearer vision of why we are here and what it is that we need to do... I'm thankful to Bishop Kinikini, Emily, Moana, Eric, Lini & Aunty Kome for coming... Especially for my beautiful mother.. With the leg cramps and all she came to be my escort and I wouldn't have had it any other way... It's almost 3am and I'm still so happy and at peace... I couldn't stop thinking about Olaea and baby while in the temple and cannot wait for the time when Olaea goes through, so that we might begin attending together! I love the Lord! I love this Gospel and am grateful to know that through our Heavenly Father's plan of salvation and thanks to the atonement of His son, our brother, Jesus Christ we are able to return into the presence of our Heavenly Father. As long as we are worthy and as long as we follow the commandments we will be able to be sealed to our families not only for this lifetime but into the next. I KNOW that we will be reunited with my Dad and my daughter and all the other loved ones we have lost! FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!!! I love Olaea Lance Iosua and cannot wait to be with him for the eternities!

TODAY IS THE DAY!!!

So in about 14 hours I will be an endowed member of the church. I am excited, scared, happy and ready! I know that this is the only way that I will reach true ETERNAL HAPPINESS! I admit after talking with people that it would have been nice to have gotten my endowments with Olaea, but I need to go now... I NEED to attend the Temple regularly and to receive the blessings and the knowledge that I know I can only receive there. When Olaea does go through I will be extremely excited to go with him and then in oh some odd 150 days from now be SEALED to him! I believe we can also be sealed to our daughter which is and always has been my ultimate goal... I better go to sleep... I don't want to be hanging in the temple! HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY!!!

PICTURES....

I'm going to put as many pictures on here as I can so as to get them off of my computer :) I hope theres not a limit on how many I can do... lol... cuz I have PLENTY!

FUNNEL CAKES!

Haha! So today I went and helped Lelu fry her funnel cake dough for Christina's Peewee Team Fundraiser! It went by really quick but Lelu and I out did ourselves... The goal was $400 but we only made $350 sooooo close.. So apparently we will be doing it again on Thursday! WooHoo... Currently working right now just waiting for one of those awesome calls to come in.   Actually I hope nobody calls and they either log me off or just leave me on to get paid for BLOGGING! lol... So I soooo have to mail my tithing TOMORROW or i'm going to spend it... I think that will be the best way for me to stay current until I develop some real restraint... It should be so EASY but I am soooo poor... Oh well that's today's entry... If I feel like adding to my journal/blog thingamajig I will!

My Heart!

Of all the pictures that I have... this one has to still be one of my favorites... Tears still come to my eyes as I remember that day... I was still in shock and wanting everyone there to leave but at the same time not wanting to be alone... I wanted to see my daughters beautiful eyes looking at me the way they had in the delivery room... Almost 3 years later I can still remember her shining, beautiful eyes... When the photographer was setting Olaea up for this picture I couldn't hold back the tears. Her little body fitting so easily into his hands. Her entire tiny head was cradled inside the palm of his hands. I love her and cannot wait until the day we both see her again. Even more so... I can't wait for the day that Olaea and I are sealed to her for time and all eternity! My hope is that when that day comes, for us to be reunited, is that she will be proud of who her parents are and proud of what we hopefully accomplish together in the future as a family!
