A whirlwind of a crazy week and into the weekend!

Friday
This week just tends to get a bit crazier as the days go by! I finished up packing and the truck came at 3:30 and we had to haul our stuff to the top of our driveway so we got a little bit of a workout. It took us about 1.5hours to do it. Then we drove over to our new home an put it into our garage. We had alot of help that day which made it alot easier to accomplish besides I wasn't that much help because of what happened to me just 3 days ago. I hadn't told anyone about what happened.

Saturday
Today I finished cleaning up the old house in preparation for Ryan and Susan to move in. Then I got to go work in the San Diego Temple for my first time as a receptionist. It was a great day to end my busy week at the temple. I work the same shift as my mother-in-law so she was my trainer for the day. We got to help with two marriage sealings it was fun to be able to see them and the joy they showed in their eyes. It helped me to remember my day at the temple when I was sealed to Trent and what covenants we made with eachother.

Sunday
Trent and I were asked to give sacrament meeting talks also on Sunday so going to the temple was a good opportunity to ponder my notes and message about making and keeping covenants with the Lord.

After church was over I was in charge of the Chapman July Birthday party. We had salmon and chicken and grilled it on cedar planks we got from Costco. They were so good you have to try it some time. Originally we had family go over to our new house but that didn't work out so we ended up having it at my in-laws house. As our tradition goes we as the birthday hosts give an inspirational talk to the family. Being that it was a crazy week I totally forgot but earlier that day we gave one to our ward so we decided to share some of our talk to the family. I still had not told anyone about my miscarriage so it ended up working out that I talked about why we make covenants and how my experience in the last week has helped me to realize just how important my covenants with the Lord are. Afterwards I got an overwhemlming amount of hugs and it was good to have told them because I wasn't alone and my sisters-in-law have experienced it in their own lives and I got alot of good insight and knowledge about it.

It helped ease my pain about the miscarriage because since Tuesday I hadn't really had time to just sit and think about the loss that had just taken place in our life. My mind was too busy either thinking about moving, my talk, or the party. So when it was all said and done I just felt like I had been lifted a little bit once I let it out.

Heavenly Father knows us and this past week was just another testimony to me that he is real and is aware of my circumstances. He loves me and I know that if I continue to be righteous that he will bless me and my little family.
