Conference has been nice. I love feeling like I'm rejuvenating my thoughts and feelings as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints. I love that its importannt to me, that I asked questions, prayed and listened for answer for these sesssions. I did feel answers and comfort come. I do feel my job in motherhood is important and my testimony strengthened. It's hard to explain as we all hear the same words, but taken differently depending on how much we focus, what we notice, where we are at the time of listening. I want to be open to hear the saviors words and better myself and I feel I got that.
It's been a pretty good start to Celia's first week of school in person. I like that we are dubbing her and Olivia as walkers for easier pick in the afternopon. It only seems fitting for high school students to be able to walk off campus when the day is done together as friends. We had fun going to In n Out after school on Friday like we used to do. Joe wanted to do the same, so I took him and David there later that night. The kids sure love routine and remembering the good ole days which I can appreciate.
We also got to go to church in person last week on Brian's Birthday. It was so reverent and clean and open. I feel it was more focused on the sacrament with listening to the hymns and reflecting in the quiet time alloted. Sitting in families was nice and the lack of talking about our week to friends in the chapel was better, I believe. I cant believe Sacramento is now opening up enough to be able to go in person weekly. That is so great! Celia has been to a optional in person seminary class and a young women's pool party. I hope this can continue, but if we have to close again, I'm glad we are taking opportunities to be amongst others and have a good time in person.
I have had my folks over for lunch once and we all went ot Lucilles to celebrate Brian's birthday. With that and magic drafting and furniture delivery from Javier, it seems like we are getting back to normal a little bit and its so nice. Now I just need to decortate for fall and bring cheer to all my neighbors and friends as fall approaches. We are still in the ninties and experienceing smokey skies, but rain will come and cool weather. Fall leaves will be turning orange, yellow, brown and purple before we know it. A welcomed change in seasons.
I've been getting active wear that Tanya is selling and Brian is buying me from Amazon and I feel a need to exercise in them. I've enjoying going out and exercising in nature. It's hard to deal with the smoke, but masking up for almost everything is getting to be normal now, so thats what I'll do and maybe it will help more with my seasonal allergies. I see a healthier season chosen and arriving just in time.
