hot days of summer

sometimes i feel like i'm an ice cube melting...ehm, rather vaporizing, away in Death Valley. this humidity is absolutely insane! but yet i want to move to florida or out west to Utah, or someplace similar..what am i thinking sometimes??

i'm currently awaiting the arrival of one of my newest toys - a Garmin GPS! i've been refreshing the page for the last couple of hours, and it still says that it's "on truck for delivery." over 4 hours...and the depot where it's coming from is only 1.45 away!! i want it NOW!!! :D going to keep my fingers crossed that it comes by the time i have to leave for my evening class. a plus i just found out today, is that i can download an app to my Garmin to go geocaching! that's going to be so much fun! has anyone done that before?

one big thing that's happened recently, is that i received my patriarchal blessing on June 19th, the day before my 1st anniversary of being a member of the church. go here to see a review of my baptismal day, along with pictures, if you're interested. since i've been a member of the Church, here are some things that have changed in my life, and most importantly, changed who i am - for the better:

  1. I truely have faith in the Savior and Heavenly Father
  2. I've gone to the temple three times, soon to be four or five, to perform Baptisms for the Dead. I cannot wait until the day when I can enter into the House of the Lord and receive my endowment, then perform and help my ancestors receive those same blessings.
  3. I feel as if I have a real purpose for my life.
and the list goes on...more will be added to this post later, but for now...back to work! :(
