Today was the first time in many years that I did a real fast. I know it’s a first since Jeff and I have been married. We weren’t very ‘churchy’ when we were first married and would usually only go to sacrament meeting a lot of the time. Then I got pregnant with Lindsay and couldn’t fast and then I had more excuses and then I got pregnant with Logan and again couldn’t and then more excuses followed after that. But today was different. Jeff and I had come up with something together that we wanted to fast for and I’m proud to say that I did it! It was so HARD, but when I started to feel hungry or weak I would just say a little prayer and I would feel better. I was filled with the spirit during sacrament meeting and enjoyed listening to all the testimonies, that I could hear. It was also the first Sunday I’ve brought my scriptures to church in at least a year. I just already have so much to carry….but it only makes sense that the first Sunday I bring my scriptures and fast I was asked, by my good friend Katie, to sub in Nursery. So, not only did I not get to use my scriptures, I also had to watch the kids eat their snack! Cheez It’s have never looked so yummy! Anyway, it was a good day that ended with a yummy pot roast dinner. Thanks Jeffy!

1Sorry, Sorry, Sorry, but I really did appreciate you subbing in Nursery. I know what you mean about forgetting your scriptures. I hardly ever remember to bring mine either, unless I need them for primary. I am too busy trying to get the kids and the diaper bag, their snacks and coloring books.
