Day at the spa

Not for me but the kids. After homework the girls sometimes get bored with the same thing we do everyday. So I asked Dahra if she wanted to do a spa treatment? I was glad when she said yes. Paige said no because she was busy trying to get her lose tooth out. Her tooth did come out and she was so excited. I'll take a pic soon.
But for Dahra's spa treatment I soaked her cute little feet in the sink and some bath salts. Then I massaged them with lotion and painted her toes. She doesn't like her nails painted. She then wanted to do a facial. So I just put a warm wet cloth on her face and then cut up some cucumbers and put them on her eyes. It was fun to make her feel special and pretty.

What to do?

Ok so I just read a great article that eased my mind and heart about an issue that is close to my heart. Apparently HBO plans to show the sacred cerimony that is performed in the temple. What a crazy thing first of all. I know non-members and even some members may be curious as to what goes on inside and why we don't talk abou it. The reason is because it's God's house and it is holy and I believe sacred things shouldn't be talked about like the weather.
Here's the link to the article

Also I am reminded by a quote by Joseph Smith
The standard of truth has been errected no unhallowed hand will stop the work from progressing. Persecusions my rage, mobs may combline armies may assemble calumny may defame. But the truth will go forth boldly, nobly and independent. Until it has penetrated every contentent, visited every cline,swept every country and sounded in every ear till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the great Jehovah shall say the work is done!!!

I'm sorry if this sounds preachy and like I'm on a soap box but I do have a testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ. I love my savior and am so thankful for his mercy and love. May we all live our lives to mirror him.
I love you all

Ho Hum

Just another Saturday here in sunny San Diego. I just read Megan's blog and she's right. We don't communicate much and facebook is just another way for us to have these instant conversations. I am greatful for the internet cuz my phone bill would be pretty high if I was to call all ya'll.
Anyway I am doing well. I have decided to move out and move into another apt. I would be saving money and that is a good thing for me at this time.
I am very sad to leave Danielle. She's my best friend and we've lived together for over 3 years now. It is really great to live with someone you get along with so well.
Right now I am house/dog sitting again just for a day and it is always weird to be in a big house all by myself.
So that's what's going on with me kind of boring, kind of just ho hum but that's it.
Love you all
