15 DAYS!!!!!

     I am getting married in 15 days. Two weeks from tomorrow. I can't even tell you how excited I am! It's gotten to the point where I am a little overwhelmed that things pretty much need to be finished, but also where I am just so ready for it to finally get here and happen that I just think however things work out is good enough to me.

     I got temple reccommend signed by the Stake President today. I was nervous before the interview, but talking to him made me feel really good, and even more excited to go to the temple than I already was. It also calmed some of the "maybe I'm not ready" nerves. Just to make it clear though, I am ready. And so happy.

     Now this is going to seem like I change in subject but just stay with me and you'll get it (hopefully). Jordon and I watched Season of the Witch the other night. His choice not mine. It was a creepy, gross, depressing movie. Lots of grim lighting and corrupted priests, and black plague. And of course witches. And it got me thinking a lot about the witch trials, which got me thinking about the dark ages, which got me thinking about the Apostasy. The movie is obviously a graphic and dramatic and unrealistic depiction of it all, but really it got me thinking about how happy I am to be born in this time instead of that one, and with the knowledge of Christ and His church.

     The Stake President talked to me about the detail and beauty of the temple. And then reminded me that the real beauty of the temple is that all of the priesthood keys have been restored, and in the temple we are able to receive the blessings from them. Life is so confusing, I don't know what I would do without the anchor of my Heavenly Father and the gospel. I love feeling the Spirit, and I never want to lose that.

     I hope no ones thinks it inappropriate of me to draw spiritual conclusions off of a PG-13 thriller/sci-fi movie. :) But this is my blog, and I am being honest.

     Can't wait for those 15 days to be over! But don't worry, I will wait. ;)  :D
