Guess what? While we were watching conference at home for the first time EVER (besides yesterday) it rained a little bit: that made the day even better!!! I went outside and let it fall on my head, now that yummy rain smell is everywhere outside and floating through every open window in our home. Conference was wonderful, and I am looking forward to the next session, though I am always sad when it is the last session because then we have to wait six months for another conference. I am grateful for the Ensign which publishes the talks in November, and now with amazing technology, we can watch the talks whenever we want!!! Yet there is nothing like hearing them for the first time!! And guess what else I learned? Every Sunday before church, I listen to Music And the Spoken Word which is broadcast by radio live from SLC. But today I discovered that it is also online, so now I can even see it. And best of all, it shows beautiful pictures while the choir is singing: of nature, specifically meadows, waterfalls and amazing creeks and rivers. I felt such peace and renewal, and I am grateful for Heavenly Father providing such beauty and for people making it available to us via the internet!
This is a beautiful incredible day!!!
We also have a new addition to our extended family: she was born on Monday morning and is the new daughter of my youngest sister and brother in law!! EAG is BEAUTIFUL; there is so much about a little baby girl to bless the world that is amazing to me. They are so feminine and already filled with the potential to be a wife and a mother. Other things that will come in her life are unknown, but these two things; being a wife and a mother are inherently a part of her. So that means that when I was born, those things were inherently a part of me too: they have been all I have ever really wanted. I feel immense gratitude for having the opportunity to fulfill these divine callings right now in my life: for the plan that our Heavenly Father has created for me. Though there has been sadness, heartache and loss in my three decades, there has been by far, much more joy, love and giving than I could ever describe: I have been blessed with far more than what is necessary to feel joy.
With gratitude on this spectacular day, Katie
