In exactly two months, I am getting married! It's crazy how fast time has gone by, and how much there still is to do. I can't wait! I bought my temple dress this week (actually my mom did) and I love it! It is beautiful! My mind has been focused a lot on the temple the last couple weeks. I've done a weekly temple prep class, read the "Preparing to Enter the Holy Temple" book, and spent a couple hours walking around the Bountiful Temple grounds. The next few months will be the most important of my life. By the end of this year, I will have received all the saving ordinances necessary in this life. That's crazy awesome! I can't wait. Really.
I am so glad I am living my life the way I am now. I've tried it both ways (with and without the gospel) and I know without a doubt that this is the only way to live with peace and true happiness. It feels so good to have a greater purpose in life than the here and now.
The apartment is coming along. Cord's parents bought us a bed (did I already mention that?) And we found a cheap corner desk on ksl yesterday to put in our living room. Yay for bookshelf space.
Bottom line: Life is hard, but it is good.
