PAY IT FORWARD

My sister had this on her blog and I thought it would be fun to keep it going....So Let's Play! Here's how it works-the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, a handmade gift from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment here, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going. Then come back, let me know you're going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift! Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick! It sounds like fun so lets keep it going....thanks for playing!

Another Day In Paradise

Well what has been happening this week. Well Daya decided she needed a midnight snack...that would consist of some juice and dog food. My dad has been pulling the dog food in at night so the "night animals" won't help themselves to the food. I was so shocked, I couldn't believe it, I made her spit it out. We also had fun trip yesterday to Safford. On the way home we decided to get ice cream from Dairy Queen and Chris asked me if we should get Daya anything. I said sure, we can get her a dilly bar from D.Q. Well that was a nice trip home, about the time we passed Ash Peak, that was enough of the ice cream, it was every where. It's just been "another day in paradise."
I do have to say that I am loving it though! I just can't wait for her play Buddie to get here. I am patiently awaiting his arrival.
We are also so excited about tomorrow, and I will blog and add pictures from this week and also pictures from tomorrow all at the same time.
Love and miss all of you!!!!

Temple Blessings

Well I know a lot of you are anticipating the Gila Valley Temple!!! We can't wait, it was such an exciting experience to be able to watch the broadcast of the ground breaking yesterday and to be able to feel the spirit of all of those who were there, in this life and the life beyond. I just wanted to share that we really felt the spirit especially of my G & G Thygerson, that side of the family was really there. Let me tell you that this temple is going to be biggest blessing for our family. Our family goal with the help of our Bishop is to be able to be endowed once this temple is built and to be able to have our family sealed together for time and all eternity. This is one of the most exciting things that I have ever had an interview with the Bishop about.

I am thankful for a loving father in heaven who is forgiving and for the atonement that our heavenly father so gave us. I am thankful for second chances and the opportunity to do this side by side with my husband and grow together with him and see his changes as he grows closer to thee.

This next Sunday will be a great start to all of this. Chris will be receiving the Aronic Priesthood, and he is very excited. He thought that when he was baptized he was ordained along with it, but they is no record, and Bishop would just like to have it done the right way twice rather than to have it all taken away.

I am thankful for all of the blessings that our family has received and really do appreciate the examples in our ward that have helped friendship Chris. I am thankful for all of my family and friends also.

I guess you can say that I am kind of bearing my testimony. Well please keep us in your prays and we try to meet this goal!!! So here we go...eagerly awaiting the temple to be built so help us get the things done which we need to do to get to the Celestial Kingdom!!!!

Love you all!!! - Whitney
