I believe

Today was one of the better Sunday's in a long time. (Well conference is always good). Blake had the opportunity to stand in the circle with our good friend Mikal Rex as he blessed his new baby girl Verona Doll Rex. It was a great blessing. I'm sure it made him more nervous for the blessing of our baby sometime in February. Hopefully we can figure out a name by then!

It was also fast and testimony Sunday for our ward. I knew within the first seconds at my grandmother's viewing that I'd be sharing mine the next testimony meeting we had. You know that fiery burning sensation of, "oh man I have to go up there" that you get? I don't get that feeling very much. We can put it this way, the last time I bore my testimony Blake and I were only dating, so it was a good 4 years ago. Also, the next week I was asked to give a talk. So I was a little hesitant today. I bore my testimony about The plan of Salvation, and eternal marriage. It Needed to be shared, after what happened with the passing of my grandparents. I know that they are together and happy. Their time on earth was well spent, and I know that if I ask, I can have their help and assistance as I go throughout my life. They are missed terribly, but with a little prayer, I can feel their presence. I love them so much, and I can only be happy that they are happy now. My grandmother knew EXACTLY what I needed to get through this rough time of her passing, and she knows EXACTLY what I need to get through this trial of living in Rexburg. She was a truly remarkable person, and knew me well.

To them, Jim and Lana: I love and miss you.
