Bright Beauties!

Yesterday I had to go down to the Temple to pick up a name a girl in my ward did last week. She didn't know you had to pick it up after your done. Anyways, I took more pictures of the flowers and Temple. Enjoy the beautiful colors!

Maybe they're so beautiful because they're Temple flowers.... they're celestial!

It's a Girl!

No, not me, but Hector. Yes, that's right Hector is a she. I need a new name for HER. Any ideas? I thought the name Gia was cute, but it doesn't seem to fit HER.

On top of finding out he's a she, well SHE is also pregnant. The little hussy! I don't know what to do. I wish I could take her in somewhere to have her babies and then bring her back, but it's not that easy. But I'd like to see her kittens and play with them, but what do I do when they get bigger and start playing around. And too, I can't keep them, so what then. Oh my, I've gotten myself into a big pickle! Well, I didn't, whatever her name did!

Temple Flowers

Leaving the Temple Saturday I had wished I'd brought my camera with me because the flowers were so beautiful with the Arizona sunshine and cool breeze blowing in the air. So today when I went I made sure I had my camera in hand. I didn't go there just to take pictures, but that was on the agenda. So after my session I went outside and starting snapping... not my fingers, but my camera! The weather was absolutely perfect. Just like it had been Saturday. Here are just a few I took.

I couldn't decide on one or two pictures. That's just not me. :)

Very Special Valentine's Day

I don't know if many know this, but I just started volunteering at the Temple...
Today was my first time working at the Temple for a few hours with the children. I stay with the children until it's time for them to be sealed to their parents. Then I stay with them while their sealed and bring them back to the room. Today was so special and beautiful! The children were all girls ages 13, 10, 8, and 6. They were so polite and nice to each other. As I was watching them get sealed for time and ALL eternity as a family I thought about how glorious and wonderful Heavenly Father must have felt for them at that moment. The spirit was so strong in the room and I could feel Heavenly Father's love for each of his beloved children. It made my testimony of eternal families grow even stronger as I watched this cute family be sealed together in the Lord's house for eternity. To think now they are an eternal family is simply amazing and incredible. I'm so thankful for my eternal family who I will be with forever. I love this gospel so much! I'm grateful to know it's truthfulness and the happiness it brings to me daily. What a blessing it truly is to have the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth today. I will always be indebted to my Savior for everything He has given me and I hope and pray that when I get to meet him He says "well done thou good and faithful servant."

Valentines Day!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! I love my family and friends so much! I'm so grateful for the love and support they give me. Heavenly Father has truly blessed my life immensely in many ways.

Cleaning My Car

Yesterday I took a few hours to clean my car out. It wasn't horribly messy that I needed to take a few hours, but I wanted to deep clean it.

Here I am about to start

A little more than halfway through I took a break by doing this in the drivers seat. I opened my visor mirror so I could see the other side of my camera.

I guess you can say a little photo shoot... then I played around with the color on my computer.

Hector was chilling around me until I turned on the shopvac, then he scrammed.

Car afterward

I cleaned the windows on the inside and tomorrow I'm gonna drive through a gas station car wash. I'm too lazy to wash the outside by hand... too much work!

Hector is Back!

You read right! Hector is back. I don't know where he could have been for 2 or 3 weeks, but whatever it was he was safe. I was in bed Sunday morning and my roommate Beth came in and said he was sitting at the backdoor. So I jumped up and got him some food. He's so cute!

Hector Is Missing

Yep, you read the title right... I haven't seen Hector about about 2 weeks now. One day he was laying on my lap on the bench in front of my house and the next day he was gone. I've called and called for him, but he hasn't shown up. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. I still have cat food in case he decides to come back.

I just hope he's not stuck somewhere and can't get out. Now that would be really sad. :(
