Peaceful Sunday

Today Mitch spoke in church. He's the ward mission leader and the theme this month is missionary work ... so naturally, he and the sister missionaries spoke on missionary work. Mitch gave a wonderful talk and I really felt the spirit as he spoke about being a friend and an example to our neighbors, friends, and family. I am so glad to have a husband with such a strong testimony, who helps me when I struggle, and who is always a good example to me. Mitch is the kindest, gentlest, smartest, most patient, and most loving person I know. He treats me like a princess. I am so thankful that he honors his priesthood and for the spirit he brings to our home. (Sorry, I know this sounds cliche and a little cheesy, but it's really how I feel.) I love my hubby! He gave a great talk, and sacrament meeting was great. Also, I gave my Sunday School class Tootsie Pops, hoping it would keep them from talking incessantly as they would be sucking on suckers ... and it worked! They actually got into the lesson and I think they learned something. V-I-C-T-O-R-Y!
After church, we went to Mitch's grandma's house. We really haven't seen the Bott side of the family in a long time. We had the "Halloween Dinner" where all of the food items for Hawaiian haystacks are named something. For example, the rice is "skeleton bones" and the sauce is "condensed vampire breath." It's cute and fun. It was good to see everyone.
Well, tomorrow starts another week. I was extra busy this last week: midterms, splits w/the sisters, Mitch and I went to the temple, group project meetings for school, voting, visiting teaching, baby shower, the gym, etc. As busy as life can get, if I put the Lord first I always have time to accomplish everything and then some. It amazes me sometimes. I'm so thankful for Sundays when I can go to church and reflect on the week. It makes me realize how blessed I am.
