Good
bye Mr. MUNCIE!!! Landon spent the last four weeks in Muncie IN. We
luckily got him on the weekends, but every Sunday night he left for the
week. I cried every Sunday night. But we all worked hard and we have
great friends that helped and the month FLEW by. We also had amazing
weekends. It was a surprisingly great rotation. But I'm so glad he
doesn't have to leave tonight to drive back there. Whoop whoop.
We
had so much fun with play dates and girls nights this week. Thursday
morning I had a DR. Appoinemt/ultrasound. Baby brother was transverse.
This made me a little worried and sad, but I honestly believe that both
he and I will be taken care of and in good health no matter how the
delivery pans out. (It took me a couple of hours to get to this though. I
did have a mini freak out). The doctor also said I'm 2 cm dilated and
50% effaced. I'm almost 37 weeks! This pregnancy is flying by!!!
We
decided when daddy got home at 1:00 Thursday afternoon that we would do
a mini Staycation here in indy. Jax assigned us each a day where we got
to pick whatever we wanted to do.

It
was actually really fun having everyone be in charge of a day. Jax
loved it. It was a surreal vacation to me though because it will be the
last one as a family of three.
The Book of Mormon:
I
have to include this because it's been a huge part of my life lately.
This last month, knowing I may need the spirit a little bit more with
Landon being gone all month, I decided to read the Book of Mormon cover
to cover. That ends up being about 16 pages a day.
IT WAS AMAZING!!!
If
you ever have something in your life that you are nervous about, or a
period where you are feeling particularly down, do this. It will change
your life. My little brother did it with me and he said the same thing.
Life seemed easier and happier. Scott and I actually started the
Doctrine & Covenants yesterday because we just want to keep this
spirit going.
I
just wanted to take a moment to say that I KNOW this Book was written
for us, by the prophets of old who lived in the Americas. It's
incredible how similar our lives and trials and struggles are to theirs.
I know God wanted us to have his Book. I know he protected the plates
until Joseph Smith could get them and translate them. I know it's true.
There are power in the pages and when we take time to consistently read
the pages the spirit enters our hearts, our homes, our relationships. It
is true! I know it is!! This is the fifth time I've read it cover to
cover, and it has changed my life more this time then any other time
I've read it. I'm eternally grateful to the Lord for providing this Holy
and Sacred book to all of
His
children. It is meant for every one out there. It is. It is ANOTHER
testament of Jesus Christ along with the Bible. It's the record of the
people living in the Americas from 600BC-431AD. It's true! I'm grateful
for it. I'm grateful to my Heveanly Parents for providing it. I know
it's true. Amen:).
