"And my soul hungered.."

I crave a glorious sabbath day. When all you do is center your day around worshiping the Lord and enjoy being with family and friends. This summer in Jersey our Sunday's have been a little different, not bad, just different..... Last Sunday I was in Massachusetts with my sister Kassi watching her race in the Falmouth Road Race. Therefore I missed church, which always seems to effect my spirit. And although I don't regret being there with Kassi watching her race, which is what she does best, my week still feels a little empty..... I am craving that burning spirit within... like when I hear a beautiful musical number in sacrament meeting, or listen to the stories of Christ that remind you of what you should be doing in life, and what is most important. I am grateful for the scriptures and for prayer to help fill that void of missing church. Here is a clip that I watched on LDS.org that made me cry thinking of my mom and sisters (in-laws), and how much I love and miss seeing them often.

Guilty Pleasure

I discovered this delicious cookie on the plane flying somewhere I can't remember now... but as I was at Walmart looking for some snacks for a 5 hour drive back to New Jersey from Massachusetts I found them!!! In a huge package! Biscoff European Cookies.... mmmm! I didn't realize just how much I would love them until this drive home. Now I am trying to keep my self from eating the entire package alone. MMMmm You should try them.

June Wedding

Yey.. June weddings are great, but marriage is even better. Well, I only have a few pictures posted from friends and from my photographer Emilie so this is what will have to do for now! I don't have any of my entire family... or of my mother :( but those will come soon!
