Another Obama Nightmare

Those of you who liked the last one might like this one.
In my dream, I was living in a big house with President Obama. I don't remember many of the details, but I remember being afraid to do most anything because I was afraid of Obama. It reminded me a lot of the book 1984.


I'm going to have to do something about all of these Obama nightmares.

Conception is to Marriage as the Sky is to the 3 Kingdoms of Heaven

Does that title slightly confuse you and draw you in to read my blog?

Good.

And here's an added plus: It's relevant!

So I'll start by explaining how the sky relates to the 3 degrees of glory.

If you're a Mormon and you've ever gone to Sunday school, you already know.

Heaven=3 kingdoms; Telestial, Terrestrial, and Celestial.

Telestial is the lesser.

Terrestial is next best.

Celestial is the bestest.

Well, the scriptures relate their glory to stars, moon, and sun. Hence: the sky.

Telestial=Stars.

Terrestrial=Moon.

Celestial=Sun.

(see 1 Corinthians 15:40-41)

So, have you figured out how conception is to marriage?

I was writing a paper about abortion the other day,

(btw, I loathe abortion),

and I read a quote from a General Authority

(I can't remember who but I can look it up when I get home).

It spoke of how conception occurs when two cells join together to form one living organism which will grow to become a human being.

Do you see the relation?

When a marriage occurs, a man and a woman join together to from one living entity which has limitless potential.

If you think about it a little harder, there's all sorts of neat insights one can gain from this metaphor

(like how you need two different cells to make a human embryo, you can't smush two sperm or two ova together and make anything from it).

So, in conclusion, Conception is to Marriage as the Sky is to the 3 Kingdoms of Heaven because one is a type of the other.

" True types will have noticeable points of resemblance, show evidence of divine appointment, and be prophetic of future events."

I love these little insights I gain when studying. :)

I Had a Dream... More Like a Nightmare.

So as most of you should already know, President Obama recently passed a healthcare bill that will provide (actually, require) health insurance for all Americans. Well, while there are some good aspects of this bill, many many people believe that this bill will cause a decrease in quality of health care, and insurance companies to go bankrupt. I can see the logic.

On that note, I had a dream last night...

In my dream, I got sick and had to go to President Obama for health care. I called to set up an appointment, I explained what was wrong and the line was silent. "Mr. President?!" I asked. All I heard on the other end was static and a voice cutting out on me.

When I woke up and told Myles about my dream, he said "Maybe it's a prophecy that Obama's health care will be totally inefficient."

Prophecy or not, I'm a little worried. Not about to leave the country though. I'll leave that up to Rush Limbaugh. ;)

Garden Therapy

Well, we decided not to move. We called our landlord and told him we're probably staying for another twelve months! looks like we should get a little more comfortable in our place!

With that decision behind us, we decided to take advantage of our large (for a duplex) yard and plant a garden! We woke up this morning and took a trip to Home Depot to get started. We bought some soil-enricher-stuff, a few more seeds (we bought most of our seeds at the grocery store the night before), some peat pots to get the more fragile plants started before transferring them into the garden after the last frost, an inside pot for my herbs, big and small shovels and rakes, and gloves!

With all of our tools ready, we got to work. Today we just worked on getting the soil ready to plant. We shoveled through it, raked it to flatten it out, and mixed in the soil-additive-stuff. I also planted all of the potted plants. It was so fun because I got te see tons of those earthworms and things that I haven't seen for years! The weather was beautiful, and it's got me praying that it doesn't snow again all year! However, living in Utah probably means that we'll have another snow in march, and then most of April will be beautiful except for one crazy week where it goes from sunny one day, to cloudy, to rainy, to snowy, and back to sunny.




Myles got this area ready to plant some flowers. we did similar things to the garden areas minus the rocks.
I love gardening! I'll post more pictures soon!

To Move? Or Not to Move?

So for a few months now Myles and I have been planning on moving. we had a hearts set on this place by Seven Peaks because it had WD hookups sp we could take our washer/dryer! But we couldn't go check it out because they were doing some remodeling.
Well, we finally got to go see it the other day, I was so excited and so ready to sign a contract. We met with the manager and got into the apartment...
It didn't look like the picture, but they never do, right?
"Where are the washer dryer hookups?" I ask him.
"The one-bedroom apartments don't have washer/dryer hookups."
*My heart breaks into a shattered array of broken dreams (okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little)*
So it turns out, only the two-bedroom apartments have WD hookups. And, of course, the rent for the 2-bedroom place is a hundred dollars more expensive and equal to what we are already paying where we're living.
The thing is, we could still save a little bit of money by moving because utilities are less and we'd have internet privided. But is it really worth moving all of our stuff to save a little bit of money? Especially when the place we live in now is bigger and nicer! We can't find any other place that has what we need! Maybe we'll just stay where we are so we can plant a big-old garden in our backyard (something I've been wanting to have for a while now). I guess we'll just stay where we are unless we can find a more promising place.

Tip For Being a Good Spouse #1

spouse."

White Nectarine and Pink Coral Flower

Random thought of the day:

It drives me nuts when I'm the only person at work and I really have to use the restroom but there are customers just taking their sweet time to buy NOTHING while I silently suffer.

School work is getting stressful. TONS of assignments due next week and I just can seem to stay on top of them all! I'm drowning in projects and assignments that won't go away!

And I really need to get me some microsoft word...

I found some new hair product that I LOVE. It's a combination of these 3 items that gives me my dream hair:

Herbal essences Body Envy Shampoo & Conditioner (made with white nectarine and pink coral flower!)

Tressemme 24 Hour Body Root Boosting Spray-- AMAZING.

Herbal Essence Long-Term Relationship Leave-In Treatment. It keeps my ends from splitting on me. :)

And I don't even have to rat my hair anymore!

Well, That's all Folks!
