A Week Later

And so it begins. It took me a week to figure out how to even get back on here.
This week has been an emotional roller coaster to say the least. We found a house that we are hoping to make into a home! It's an inspired venture.
Thanks to my good friend, Farrah, here's a picture of the house.
It's also thanks to Farrah that we are so excited to have a chance to work on this house!
For some reason it was in the back of my mind that after you get married you eventually out grow friends, but we have been blessed with an abundance of very good friends who help shape us as people and as a family. Needless to say, that idea no longer pollutes the back woods of my mind. Friends are the best! Friends within the family and those who somehow become your family.
And for the next week or so, I imagine the themes of these blogs will very much be related to "the house". We feel blessed in this decision, and are hoping that things will go smoothly. There is a lot of work that needs to be done in the house, but we can do it! With help.
I was able to go to the temple this past Thursday night (I don't normally share these kinds of things), and I was waiting in the chapel for a session to begin. Of course, "the house" was on my mind, and when I opened the scriptures my eyes fell upon these words found in D&C 95:11-13
"Verily I say unto you, it is my will that you should build a house. If you keep my commandments you shall have power to build it. If you keep not my commandments, the love of the Father shall not continue with you, therefore you shall walk in darkness. Now here is wisdom, and the mind of the Lord - let the house be built,..."
I can't very well argue with that.
