Labor day weekend!

We went to Nauvoo this weekend and had a great time. We went through the temple and then went down to the town and saw all of the houses and other old buildings. We also drove to Carthage and saw the jail. It has been about 15 years sense Adam was there and about 5 years for me. Wow its amazing all of the things that the pioneers did. We drove down to this spot over looking the Mississippi where they have a plaque with all of the names of the people that never made it to the Salt lake valley. We both had relatives on the it and I kept thinking about how lucky I am that I never had to cross the plains. Or ever have my husband leave and have to go on a mission after we were married for more then 2 years. I never had my family die along the way or have to leave everything behind. I am so blessed to live in this time. Also at that spot over looking the river it tells about them crossing the Mississippi while it was frozen over and we walked on the very road that they had all lined up the wagons to head west. How scary that would be..... Thank you pioneers for being so strong and brave.

I had a really spiritual experience while I was in the temple. Adam and I had been rushing to get to the 9:00 session and we got their just in time. right as soon as I sat down I started have some horrible cramps ( I think all of the fertility meds and hormones make Aunt flow 10x more painful then normal). So I was sitting there sweating bullets and thinking I don't know if I am going to be able to do this. I was almost in tears and I just said a little prayer asking Heavenly Father if he could please just take the cramps away tell I was done in the temple. The most amazing thing happened... they went away . I don't really ever get answers to my prayers so fast, most of the time I have to be patient. I am so thankful that I was able to make it through the temple and I felt the spirit so strong. I know Heavenly Father is aware of me and if it was right for me to have a baby right now he would help that happen. I had some setbacks just today with my next cycle getting cancelled until next month. It really sucks but that's just the way it is. I will survive and I guess I am just not ready to be a momma yet. Maybe it will be nice to take a break.....
