Life is goooood.

WOW
I am SO overwhelmed with how great life is.
In the infamous words of Nacho Libre:  
My life is goood. Reallllyyyy goood

No but really, there were some exciting occurrences this past week. 
Last Thursday, I had the wonderful opportunity to go through the Logan temple for my first time. 
It was amazing.
C r a z y, but amazing. I am so grateful for all my friends and family that came through with me! and for those who couldn't come in, but still did baptisms, I love you guys and am so happy you still came. 
Soo YES, I am now officially G'd up from the feet up. Emphasis on the G. Literally. 
 
 my support team  
(we all know they just came for the free Chili's after soo whateeerrr)
 
 Some of the greatest boys and examples I've been blessed to meet these past couple months.
Brodis, Jakey and Jass-hole, I love you guys.
 Another great example I've recently come across, my girl Sher bear.
Still waiting for her mission call...
(still crossing my fingers for Portugal)
 ^^My best friends. I LOVE THEM.^^


Then, on Sunday, we drove down to Centerville for the hotter Blotter's farewell.... 
One is headed to Argentina and the other to Colombia. 
(y e s, I still have trouble telling them apart... I had to pay real close attention to the tie color when they were speaking so i could compliment the right one afterwards.)  
Purple tie = Justin                   Blue tie = Austin
Austin had me LOL'n the whole time! Especially when he was literally YELLING his testimony over the microphone trying to say it in Spanish.
And Justin just had me in tears. He spoke on the importance of an eternal perspective. He said something that really just hit home

"A mission might not sound like the most attractive idea in the sense of now, but it is what is right in the eternal perspective."
Those are some w i s e words Elder Blotter. 
Good luck to both of these hipsterz, they are gonna kill it out there <3

And last but not least...... My best friend and little sister opened her mission call last night!!!

Dear Sister Madison (dr. medical marticle) Dumas, 
         (cue the overwhelming tears)

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. You are assigned to labor in the........

(i don't even know how to say that.... soo good luck with that language Martison) 
AHH! My baby sissy is going to the flippin' Philippines, yeah, but not this Philippines, (if anyone knows what movie that's from, then i love you. for those who don't.. it's Cat in the Hat, go watch it. now.)  
but really, martis in the Philippines, I'm going to Portugal, how is Dennis gonna survive with both of us gone? oh mi goish.
 This week I realized how b e y o n d grateful I am for ALL of my family and friends.
