Freaking ROME!! I about jumped out of my seat when President Monson announced there's going to be a temple in Rome!! As if I needed any more reasons to go! Oh my holy. My frenzied thoughts went along the lines of: "I'm SO going! I'm gonna be at that dedication! I'll save every penny between now and then. I want to be there. I'm GOING to be there! What more worthy reason could I find? I'll set a goal and I'll do it!" (Repeat about a hundred times.)
Then Elder Perry talked about financial prudence and being debt-free and I thought, "Oh, well, I guess that would be a better goal." So maybe I won't be going after all.
But if I win the lottery, I'm SO GOING!!!!

That's funny!!! I was shocked about Rome too! How cool is that! You've got Vatican City and then the LDS temple! Yeah Baby!
You totally have to go Donna. Its a sign! If I win the lottery I will take you guys with us, plus anyone else you want to come-(theres nothing wrong with dreaming BIG!)
I loved your previous posts about your thoughts on conference. One thing that helps Daniel and I study those talks is we use those for our "couple study"- we try to read the Joseph Smith upcomming lesson on Sunday nights but then spend the rest of the week picking a talk from the most recent conference.
And for FHE-I made it a goal at the beginning of the year to do meaningful FHEs and we have actually done pretty good. Once a month we invite a family from the ward over for BBQ and we have them plan the lesson- then the next FHE we try to do an act of service/kindness, and the other two times a month we use the brilliant object lessons and ideas from sugardoodle.net or theideadoor.com. I try to plan it the Sunday before, just so I am prepared.
Not like you were asking for advice or anything, but I thought i would share what has worked for us in those two areas., just in case it could be of any help to you.
Those are awesome tips Kimmy, thanks! (We need to talk to each other about San Diego.) :)
I just got caught up with reading your blog. I've been out of the loop for a while.
I loved reading your thoughts on conference. You are such a great person. Elder Uchtdorf's talk on Saturday made me think of you. Just because I know you love him. He really does give such amazing talks.
Pretty cool, but even cooler yet - a temple in Philadelphia, PA - now my parents only have to drive 2 1/2 hours to go to the temple instead of 4 hours!!
Now, when I go there (if only in my dreams...) It really will be Heaven!
Me too! Me too! (I wish). :0)
