I Love To See The Temple

Today Jami and I went to the Provo Temple. :)

They've got a bunch of pretty flowers out now just there happily welcoming people to the temple. I like flowers...A LOT. 

Anyway, I love the temple because of the peace I find there. The baptistry was PACKED. I mean PLUM FULL which made me happy thinking about all that work that is getting done. For awhile we had to stand and wait for a bench to open up. It was nice though. Then while we waited I read Alma 25. It's a good chapter. Then when we were in the confirmation room, I was staring at the light fixture when I realized that there is a design on it. It looked like clouds. The more I stared at it the more I thought of this picture:

It was just a simple reminder that my Heavenly Father loves me and has sent His son, Jesus Christ to welcome me home with open arms if I chose to follow Him. 

I seriously LOVE the temple. 

HAPPY FRIDAY!

Fishy Fishy!

I'm not really sure that we're supposed to have fish in my apartment but my roommates and I don't really care! 

A little while back Jami and Coli bought a Beta fish which they lovingly named "Blululup". I'm not kidding. Then one unsuspecting Sunday afternoon we came home to find our fish GONE. Seriously. He was plum missing. We cleaned the ENTIRE living room and did not find any fish remains whatsoever. 

He's still MIA.

Admitting to ourselves that our poor Blululup was probably gone for good we decided that we needed to fill that hole in hearts with some new friends. So we went to PetSmart and bought 3 cute little Gold Fish. 

Introducing:

Fluffy, Ninja and Alfred. 

Ninja. The super psycho, all orange fishy. 

The one with the orange stripe on top is Alfred,.

This is fluffy, MY FISHY!!

Alfred and Fluffy got along swimmingly....tehehe

We love these fishies very much. Unfortunately, the day after we got them poor Alfred was driven mad by Ninja and decided to end his life. He jumped out of the tank while we were at church the next day. 

Alfred was Jami's fish and I had to break the news to her. It was kind of depressing. We decided to wait until after we move to buy another fish for her. It's been a tough for her and fish. 

Anyway, that's one update for you all. I think it is quite exciting!

Dreaming of a 5K

Not only that but I am dreaming of one, I am training for one. 

I know. Me? Caitlin? Training to run a 5k? No. 

YES!!! I am! And I am ABSOLUTELY stoked about it! 

This is week two of nine of training and I can already feel better and I'm able to run! 

So here was what week one was:

3 Workouts as follows-

5 minute brisk walk

Jog for 1 min

Walk for 1 1/2 min

You do that combo 8 times. It comes to be about a 25 min workout.

I love it. I really really do! And I love how I'm feeling. Just a few more weeks and I'll be ready to run a 5k! My plan is to do it with  Neil's Mom and sister. We'll see but I'm super excited!

Once Upon A Time Theories

I should start this blog by saying that if you have not watch this week's episode you probably shouldn't read this post yet. It either won't make sense of it will be a spoiler. (Not that I'm trying to spoil it but it ties in with my theories.) Anywho. These are my theories as to why Regina doesn't like Snow and how to break the Evil Queen's curse. 

Theory #1

To break the spell, the "Evil Queen" must be reminded that she was not always evil and share in true love's kiss. We know from press conferences with the writers that Regina had a love in the fairy tale world that was somehow taken from her and that this story will reveal itself in the upcoming episode The Stable Boy. We know that in this episode The Evil Queen (before she is evil) had to chose between marrying a king or the love of her life. We already know she chose the king but why? Did Snow do something to prevent the queen and her true love from being together hence the hatred towards Snow? Hmm...

Theory #2

To break the spell, James and Mary Margaret have to remember who they were in fairy-tale land. AND THEN their true love's kiss will break the spell. The reason why it hasn't worked before is because they haven't remembered who they really are. In this last episode, Heart of Darkness, Charming's kiss didn't work on Snow the first time because she didn't remember who she was. Once he was able to remind her, and she remembered, their kiss broke RUMPELSTILTSKIN'S potion curse!!! (That one pretty dang powerful kiss!) So I'm pretty sure that it could break TEQ's (The Evil Queen's) curse too. 

So those are my theories. We'll see how they change and morph as the 

season closes. 

So Much Fun Stuff!!

I have so much fun stuff to post! 

Food, crafts, fun and more! 

If I can live through midterms this week (until next Wednesday) I will post all that I have planned. 

I am so excited to share all my stuff!! 

YAY!

KONY 2012 from INVISIBLE CHILDREN on Vimeo.

There are so many issues in this world that we look at and say, "I wish I had enough money to go on that study abroad to help orphans." or "That service program is so wonderful but I just need the funding to do it." Well, not anymore. Not for this. Even if all you do is add your name to the list of other pledges you will be doing something so much bigger than yourself and it doesn't cost you anything. If you want, you can buy a bracelet or an Action Kit or you don't have to. But just so all of you know, I've joined the Kony 2012 movement. I can't do much in my humdrum life but at least I have a voice and I'm going to make it heard.
