whether it's wrong or it's right
Got lots of stuff done this week. Bridal pictures, etc. It was funny, we were taking them in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, so there were quite a few people walking around there, and it was so weird being stared at a lot by people walking by... old ladies smiling at me and stuff. lol =) Oh yeah, and this one older usher guy said to me, "I have just one thing to say to you, young lady... Woah!" Hehe. Funny guy.
Had the stake part of my temple recommend interview today. One thing a little interesting, as laid back as Jared is, with some things he is way more a headcase than I am. It felt good being so honest with someone tho (the stake president), and I felt completely weightless and happy afterward. But in the middle I suddenly had such a wash of regret that I hadn't expected. How could I have done those things for so long? I mean, you look at little children and think of them as nice little kids most of the time. You don't usually think of them doing bad things. I guess things have changed these days, tho. I mean, kids murder. So anything is possible I guess. Anywho. I'm really done dwelling on that. I overcame this a long time ago from now, it just was refreshed in my mind when I was talking to the stake president. Elder Scott's talk from the sunday morning session of general conference ('peace of conscience and peace of mind') really helped. I also love Believing Christ. Haven't finished reading it yet, but so far it's been so interesting, because I mean, I know these things, but some things just don't quite hit me until someone puts it differently, and then... bam! (lol) it just becomes so incredibly clear. I think just this fact is interesting: you realize that you have to *believe* you have been forgiven, or else you don't really believe in Christ, do you? If what he's saying is that he will forgive you (or help you in overcoming hard feelings or giving up heavy burdens) as long as you make the effort to repent and/or change the way you act and think, and you think it's too bad for him to do that, you're just showing you don't believe/trust him. I didn't even think about that before but it makes sense. Man. I'm so greatful for that.
Anyway. So today was really good. Jared's moving (and I'm moving most of my stuff too) into our apartment this Saturday. Means we're going to miss the game, which is too bad, but maybe if we move the projector in first we can watch it (should be on local cable...) while we're moving stuff around. (I would say we could listen to it on the radio, but I'm still not at the point yet where I understand what's going on completely when they just say what the plays and calls are... so just Jared and my grandparents would understand it).
Heh... sorry I've written so much. I didn't know I had that much to say.
Oh yeah, my bridal shower was last Saturday. Quite a bit o' lingerie. Sexay! ;)
