temple.

hello ladies! happy sunday!

The temple trip was quite a success yesterday, if you didn't go, well maybe next time... and if you did, I hope it was fabulous for you and you got to spend a few hours in peace and remembering why you go to the temple. The spouse and I spent the day watching all of the primary kiddos since we have one too little to be considered primary age, {if you want pictures of them in front of the temple, I took pictures of every single one of them, so let me know!} and enjoying the BEAUTIFUL weather! 

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the adults, but in case you wondered what your children were doing all day, they were posing fabulously for me =) 

{I'm sorry, I don't know who many of the parents of these kids are yet. If you do not want your child on the blog (I won't ever post names or any personal information), please let me know and I will take down the pictures} 

Anyways, I hope those who went to the temple enjoyed it, and those who weren't able to make it are more motivated to go in the future by looking at my amazing photography skills. haha, just kidding. but seriously, we missed you. 

Important Events:

Next Saturday, September 24th-- Relief Society Broadcast at 5:00pm. DON'T FORGET! There's refreshments there too, so that's a plus =) Not that you should go just for the treats {who does that? =)}, I'm sure there will be some amazing talks and revelation given to us, so put it on your calendar. Right now. No seriously, do it.

October 15th- Super Saturday. Not that you haven't seen/heard about it enough every Sunday/email right? But I hope you all sign up for something, because I'm on the committee, and it will be awesome. And there's lunch there too, so again, that's a plus.

I think that's all for the moment, I hope you enjoyed the amazing weather this weekend, hurrah for no fog! 

Exciting things!

Hello ladies, I am the new blogger, Melissa Lowry, and I'm hoping to make it something you want to read every week {because Relief Society is that exciting}

Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures to post yet, because I have failed at bringing my camera to events such as our fabulous Johnny Lingo Night a couple of weeks ago, but starting now, we will have more pictures of all of us! {because a blog without pictures of people you know is simply boring}. 

So, as for announcements, we have our Temple Trip in two weeks on September 17th! I feel like this has been announced forever, but it is finally coming upon us. Get your recommend out, put it in your wallet, and drive through the dreadful San Francisco traffic to come to this beauty: 

{doesn't this pictures just get you excited to go there? I personally have never been to the Oakland temple, so it will be a treat for me} 

Even if you don't have a recommend, come go through the Visitor's Center, or come help play with all the cute Primary kids like my spouse and I will be doing, due to our lack of babysitters =) 

And, put on your calendar our Super Saturday on October 15th. Yes, this may seem ages away, but we all know how things come up at the last minute. And besides, you wouldn't want to miss all of the awesome crafts I'm teaching {Three to be exact}. =) Just kidding, but it will be really awesome. We have lots of demonstrations/crafting going to happen, but we could use more input for what you want to do/see! If you're reading this blog, you have the opportunity to stalk much more of the blog world and see what's peaking your interest in terms of maybe DIY decorating, or making headbands, or festive fall decorations, or party planning, or anything else! The possibilities are endless, so please provide us with what you want to do! Leave a comment on this blog, or email the secretary a link, if you find something you just have to do =) 

Because I know you are wondering "What can Super Saturday really give me?", I shall give you a little sneak peek of what's in store, does this look like something that you need on your door?? Because if so, I'm teaching it. {And if not, well.... then give me another idea that you would actually want to do!}

That is all of the announcements for the moment, I will begin to update this more frequently now, so stay tuned, and if you'd like, leave me some feedback =)

I will leave you with this amazing quote from Joni Hilton: 

"Remember that God loves you more than can be described. His love is more than enough to make up for any loss you’ve suffered. His love alone is sufficient for a sense of well-being, and the peace of mind all men seek. Bask in it, glory in it, and let it fill you with joy."
