Life is just awesome! Layton & I had the opportunity to go to Kansas City, Missouri a couple of weeks ago to see a Chiefs vs Raiders football game (I surprised him for his birthday) and we got to see a lot of cool things! including some church historical sites and the temple and the Community of Christ temple(which was really fascinating, also they have a museum inside that has all kinds of original things of joseph smith and emma's including a real picture of emma as an elderly person! anyway...). It is always a testimony builder to go to church sites, especially the temple. Layton and I noticed that the Community of Christ church has the original door to liberty jail and the LDS church has the original key. We looked at it a little symbolically: Even though they have the whole door(the book of mormon, bible, etc.) they have no way to open it, rendering it completely useless without the key(the preisthood). There are so many good people out there that simply just don't have the whole entire truth. I am so excited about the new ages for missionaries! Being in the Primary Presidency has really made me realize what a great generation of young people we are raising!

My life for the past couple of months summed up: wonderful. I have an amazing husband who works hard and a beautiful now 7 month old baby who sleeps 12 straight hours at night and could not be a more happy. She grows so much everyday, I just can't believe how much a little person can change in 1 little year. She is pretty much crawling and before i know it she will be running! I also am still coaching ballroom at Bonneville High School and am loving it! I can't wait for the holidays!
