So touched!
So, today was the funeral for our sweet President Hinckley. Can I just tell you that I was so emotional from watching! Seeing that empty chair made me weep! The spirit was so strong! I am so grateful for our gospel! I am happy that I am a member of such an amazing church with such great people! Being a convert since I was 11 has never been hard for me because the pay off is remarkable! Please forgive me for pouring out my heart to you now. I want to tell you that having the church in my life has been the most AMAZING thing ever! The toughest part was being single for so long....ugh! I seriously would have gotten married at 13 if I could have! I just wanted to be married in the temple and have MY OWN ETERNAL FAMILY! It was hard to watch all my friends get married before me but again the payoff is so awesome. I am so happy that now I am living my dream. I go to church with my husband who is an RM and a priesthood holder and my 2 beautiful babies who are sealed to ME! Now I am NOT coming down on my family at all. I love them dearly and Paige and Ty are very lucky to have my parents and sister in her life! This was MY choice and I am so happy for that! I am just happy I have what I want and that's a FAMILY! I just really came to terms with that today watching all of Pres. Hinckley's family file into the Conference Center. It was such a beautiful sight.It all started by two people! That is what makes me smile knowing a day will come when I can be in the temple with my children because I was baptized! I can't even express my happiness right now. Tears keep pouring down right now I can't see to type! I am writing this mainly for myself. I have a true love for the gospel and am so thankful for President Hinckley's AMAZING example! It makes me want to BE better! I am so happy that after 12 years of praying by myself I have someone to share that with! I know I keep repeating myself but I love this gospel so much, my heart is so full! Thanks for listening! Thanks to my friends who have been there for me and who are such GREAT examples! I didn't get this far alone! Love you all!

You are so sweet! You do have a great life, but it would be even better down here in Vegas with me!
Tara! I miss you and I really miss that I am missing out on the baby! That is the hardest part about being away from friends,you miss out on their lives and new additions!
Oh tiffany, I couldn't have said any of that better! What you wrote is EXACTLY how I felt after watching President Hinckley's funeral!! He ALWAYS made me want to be better, and all day yesterday and today I have just been thinking, "what would President Hinckley do in this situation". It is so very special, having our perspective, of knowing what life can be with and without the gospel, with and without the temple. We're so blessed and I think it is so special that we were both baptized by and a lot because of the same man & family.
And ps I LOVE crying, especially when its because your cup runneth over!
Tara, you forgot you are moving to Utah with ME!
Tiff, that was so beautiful. I feel the same way. Thanks for saying it all!
You're so awesome Tiff. You're my favorite Tiffany that's not my daughter.
Thanks everybody! It's good to have friends who value what's true and real.
I was wondering how you and Chanel knew each other.
You expressed your feelings so well! I feel like you about being a convert. Sometimes I can't believe how great life can be when you have a happy family.
What a beautiful testimony. Isn't is awesome that you have something that NO one can take from you? Your faith and your experiences in the gospel. No one can ever tell you differently.
