High: Tonight while Taylor was sitting on the sofa she claimed that she could see her belly move. Even though I watched and could not see anything I was so excited for the new addition coming to our family.

Low: I can not think of anything at this moment as a low as Taylor and I have been greatly blessed from family, and Heavenly Father.

May 7, 2010

High- Being able to see changes in Taylor has she continues in her pregnancy. This of course is not include her being sick, but that her belly is starting to show and feeling the baby moving. Also I love that we have a temple so close and friends who want to go with us.

Low- Can not think of one right now. :)

High & Low May 1st

High: Being able to go to the temple today with Taylor to do some baptisms for family names. Also I had the opportunity to baptize other individuals that were there and it was funny how they all "dunked" differently.

Low: The weather...

April 27, 2010

High: Went for a two mile run today and was able to spend time with family.

Low: After running I felt like I was dying. :(

My Testimony of the Book of Mormon

High: Today we had a great lesson in Elders quorum. The lesson was on Elder Holland's talk from the past general conference in October of 2009. The instructor had us read a couple of quotes and then read Elder Holland's testimony. When we were finished reading his testimony I looked at the clock and saw that we still had 25 minutes left.

I then started thinking about what we were going to do for the next 25 minutes, and then my question was answered. The teacher bore his own testimony about the Book of Mormon and then turned the time over to us to be able to bear our testimonies.

As I took the time to think about the Book of Mormon I thought of how much it had blessed my life. From being raised in a family who read the Book of Mormon together, to now having an extended family who is focused on living its principles. As I pondered, I had an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for the blessings that this one book had brought upon me from living it teachings.

I then thought about the peace that I feel in my heart when I read from it at night with Taylor and when I read it by myself. I also thought about the desire I have to be a better husband, priesthood holder, and son of Heavenly Father when I read the Book of Mormon. It has truly blessed my life.

I am so grateful for the examples I have around me of those living its teachings, and who have taught me by example of how I should live and govern my life. I love the Book of Mormon and everything that it teaches and I hope that I can continually progress to be the my best for Heavenly Father.

Low: Not being around all my family today to be able to thank them for their wonderful examples.

April 20, 2010

High- Spring has come! I am so excited for the nicer weather that we have now. Plus the Lilac trees smell amazing!

Low- Moving this weekend. It will save us some money but I do not like moving.

Highes and Lows...

Highs- Being able to watch Sam today at church as Brittny and Eric both had to teach in their auxiliaries today. Also finding out that The ESPN college gameday crew is coming to Provo this weekend for the TCU vs. BYU game. Also another high is being able to be with my wife this weekend and to spend just us time. I love it, also do not tell Taylor this but as I was holding Sam while he was sleeping I could not stop thinking about being a father. Is the time right now that I should be a father no, but I am looking forward to that day.

Low- Seeing Taylor not feeling well, please keep her in your prayers. Also having tomorrow being Monday, not that excited to wake tomorrow at 5am as Taylor and I are training for a marathon in April.

High and sickness...

High- Being able to spend more time with Taylor at home today, and learning yesterday that I received employee of the month at work.
Low- With being able to spend time with Taylor means I am sick...not that fun being sick. So for Cody and Jayson who are both recovering we know how you feel a little bit.

Sunday October 11,2009

High- Being able to spend time with Brittny, Eric, Samuel and Taylor this weekend and watch BYU blow out UNLV. I know it is not a very big win as far as the AP poll but it was a good win.
Low-Is Brittny and myself the only ones doing this anymore? Any way other then that no lows as life is great at the moment.

LOW- Watching BYU get their butt kicked by FSU

HIGH- Being able to spen time with my wife and friends. Every moment we are together reminds me of how much I love her.

September 13th

High- being able to go to church today and hear a wonderful talk about the atonement, along with over coming adversity. It was just a testimony builder for me to listen to the wonderful examples of how Heavenly Father blesses His children. Also we were able to have dinner with Brittny and Sam and enjoying the oppertunity that we have to be with some of the family. Another blessing was the opportunity to help one of my former companions get a job since he just moved to Utah and has been looking for a couple of weeks. And I almost forgot making cinnamon rolls!

Low- Not having Eric here due to illness (I hope he feels better) or the rest of the family for that matter. Waiting for Saturday as I will then be able to go to the BYU game with Taylor and friends from the ward.

High: I have found a new job that is solid and I am so grateful for the Holy Ghost and all that it does to help us make decisions that are within the Lord's will. Also being able to spend another birthday with Taylor only this time I could kiss her and eat her cake!!! I know this is a day late but better late then never right?
