My day

Today was very good day because my friend Karen and I walked all over the downtown. At first, we walked to the library to check out the Art Festival but realized that we have to pay to go in so we decided to drop the idea. I decided that I want to walk around the Temple Square since it was very beautiful day. So, we hopped on Trax to the Square and we lunched at Red Lion Cafe (?)

The lunch was quite good. I had pulled pork sandwich with huge heap of green beans which is very fresh. I only ate the pork since it's very tender with light flavour which I like instead of soaked with the flavour.

As we walked around the Square enjoying the beautiful plants and people there for wedding or doing their duties in the Temple. I was thinking about how I got to the point where I am today that I am attending the church and prepare to enter the Temple someday soon. A thought came to my mind that I wouldn't gotten to the point not if it was for my grandma. I knew that she knew she had to pass away in order to sent me in the direction where I am supposed to go. I have to say that I am extremely blessed for few special experiences I had where both of my grandparent came to me either alone or together to encourage me. I will never forget one experience that I had at the funeral that grandma did came to me and told (not asking) me to repent and prepare to enter the Temple because I have a lot of works to do for the Lord and I know the Lord have jobs that are specifically for me to do.

I am glad for the plan of salvation and the opportunity to be with my family for eternity even if I am not going to be married because that is not in the plan for me to do that on Earth. But at the same time, I was bit sad that grandma had to depart this world for the next world for time being. I know without any doubt in my heart that my deceased family members that I either know or not are waiting for me to join them when it's my turn. I know mom won't like to read this part but I know I only have few years on this Earth (Don't ask me how I know) but I have a lot to do in short span.

After we walked around the temple, we walked over to Gateway Mall to walk around. We shopped little bit and I bought few outfits for church because I threw away everything that are related to the church, suits and scripture because I wasn't in the right frame of my mind. I wished that I never threw my scripture away but I plan to buy them when I can afford them. I am looking it as a new start on everything. I know what kind I want which are not quad.

After shopping, we took trax back then walked back to my place to rest for the church tomorrow. Shill is running around like crazy which is so cute.

That is where he like to hide- beneath the couch or bed. But
in this picture, he's asleep after long day of playing with me.

I love the one of him laying on me. His expression is so adorable but he's still a spawn of demon but I am hoping to save his soul. (Just kidding) He really shows his emotion on his face and eyes. SO cute!

He's getting bigger and cuter! I love his personalities. Well, for the most of time- yes...

Anyway, I just finished a very good book but I would only recommend for adult not young children. It's called, Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall. It's about her experience with FLDS polygamous upbring and her escape. Also how she had to testify at Warren Jeffs' trial few years ago. I am so appalled by her experience... Also very disgusted with some things that was done to underage girls.

More to be updated after I hear back from......

I just got back from walking Shill around the block. I think it's time for me to add one more block to Shill's daily walk because he appears to be used to the length of the walk. He is so cute when he walk/run. His ears kept flopping all over. I so love his ears and expressions.

I am proud to say that Shill is doing excellent with his potty training. I am focusing on trying to get him to stop biting and ignore people as he is walking with me. He would run to everybody which annoys me because the people would fawn over him and pet him. That's a distraction for me and Shill. I have told few people to not touch him like my down stair neighbor because he thinks he know it all which he really don't.

Enough of Shill...

I am improving gradually but I still have the cough and runny nose. I am amazed at how much snot my nose can produce in short time.

I just got on my computer for first time in few days. Didn't realize that I have a lot of emails to read and write. Blah.

Shill has been with for bit more than week. He's lucky that I didn't kill him but he's so cute and love his expressions... He's still being potty trained and I can tell that it will be while before he learn how to hold it or go on the pad. But his companionship trump all bad things about him. Love how he snuggle up with me when he naps.

33 days until I am in Australia and I am so excited!!! I am so ready to get out of here because I need a break.
