Hmmm... very paradoxical, isn't it? Well, it has been a little while since i last posted, so here is a quick update. Since the last post, several things have happened. Jon and Dani were married, I celebrated my golden birthday, and Laura came home from her mission. There are many other events that happened as well, but those are the highlights. Now for the details.
On Friday September the 12th, Danielle Fackrell and Jonathan Allee were sealed for time and all eternity in the St. Louis Missouri Temple. It was a wonderful experience for all of us in attendence. Dani was so pretty and Jon so handsom. I was so happy for the two of them. The next day was their reception. Dani looked beautiful in her dress and everything turned out great. One funny story from the reception, it was getting close to the time to cut the cake, but there was no knife. So we grabbed a knife from the kitchen and took the ribbon from Diane's flowers and tied it around the knife to make it look better. it worked out, and no one could even tell.
For my Birthday we had a scavenger hunt in the park, it was fun and we all had a good time. There is not much else to say on the party except for my monkey. One of the presents i got was a big stuffed monkey which i love. It has been very nice to have around since Nathan has been out of town for work the last couple of weeks.
After spending a year and a half in the mission field, my sister Laura has come home. It was an exciting time (especially for my mom) and I am so glad for the example that she has set for me. She is such a good person and has such a strong spirit around her.
Other things that have happened are the corn maze: This last weekend some of us went up to the Liberty Corn Maze. What a fun time. it is so much fun trying to traverse through the maze and find the way around. I also had a baby shower from the people that i work with. it was good times and fun people. I am gonna miss those people while i am at home with the baby. Another great announcement, I am so very excited for the temple coming to the KC area! That was so cool to be able to hear from the prophet that we are getting a temple. Yeah!! Any way, it is getting late, and i need sleep (trying to get it while i can). I will write again soon (hopefully).
