Childless

Last night the boys stayed with their grandma while matt and i went on a date. We had dinner at IHOP and then saw "cowboys vs aliens"- awesome marriage of a western and scifi! Then his morning we drove to cininnnati to IKEA. I had a gift card and since jake is too big for he pack n play and the new baby is coming in january we decided to bite the bullet and buy the boys bunk beds. The bunk seperates into 2 twin beds so we get more bang for our buck. I am so excited for the boys! I always wiahed i had had a bunk bed when i was younger. Now our house is so small we need bunk beds so the kids have room to play.

And will's birthday is the 21st so we bought him a train set from IKEA. It's the wooden type that pieces together with a bridge and tunnel- we really think he'll like it since he's so into trains right now.

It was nice to have a date night and a quicker trip to IKEA but it was so quiet and lonely without the little rascals! We couldn't help but talk abput them about 1/2 the time and miss them terribly. We have the greatest little boys! We are so blessed to have the opportunity to be together as a family forever because we have made covenants in Holy temples through authorized and restored priesthood authority. The power to bind in heaven what is bound on earth has been restored by our Savior Jesus Christ through his prophet Joseph Smith. And that authority has not been taken away from the earth; it remains with a living prophet and 12 apostles today. I cannot explain how happy and comforted this knowledge makes me feel, or how real these things truly are! The only way to experience and understand as i do is to find out for yourself! Reading the book of mormon and praying to God will bring an answer that the BofM is another testament of Christ translated by the prophet Joseph Smith and that Christ truly has commenced his work again on this earth one last time before His second coming. He again makes available to us ALL the promised blessings to Abraham - the priesthood, the gospel, and eternal life- if we will but follow the Savior with full purpose of heart.

I love my Savior and will do all i can to show it. As i share this with you, ponder it and let it sink deep into your soul. Reconfirm your faith or gain the faith to act upon these truths and make covenants with God to follow the Savior and keep his commanents, for therein lies the greatest and only lasting happiness.
