Dinner and a Movie

Memorial Day was a relaxing day for our family. For the first time I didn't put up a huge fight that we didn't have incredible holiday plans. I love holidays and I think they need to be celebrated. We never seem to make big holiday plans and it has always bothered me. I want to have holiday traditions for each and every holiday and believe me when I have a family of my own we will have traditions. However, for this Memorial Day I just wanted to relax. I have been so busy the past couple of weeks. My new job has turned out to be a little more than I can handle at the moment. I love it but I am just overwhelmed. We are short two people in our department and at the time we can't replace them so we are all having to do extra work. It is tough. I was so exhausted last Friday when I got home from work that I just wanted to sit and do nothing for three days and that is pretty much all I did. It was wonderful. Monday night we did go to dinner and then we went to see Night at the Museum-Battle of the Smithsonian. It is a funny movie. It made me want to go to Washington DC and see the Smithsonian museums.

Time for a Celebration

I have had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of the Draper Temple Celebration. One of the benefits of being a Young Women leader. For the last couple months the Young Women and Young Men have been preparing for the Draper Temple Celebration. It is going to be an amazing event. I have been helping the Young Women in our ward who are in the choir. I had to learn all the songs along with them so I could help teach them in our ward. The songs are amazing. I can't wait to hear them being sung in the Conference Center by 1000s of Young Women and Young Men. I have not seen any of the production pieces yet but I have heard they are also amazing. The night of the event I will get to sit with the choir which is exciting. I will get to see the entire event and I can't wait. I know tears will be streaming down my cheeks the entire time because it has been such a spiritual experience for me. Tomorrow night is the dress rehearsal where we will finally see how the youth from 52 Stakes pull the production together. I know it is going to be incredible.
