We are DONE!

Believe it or not, WE ARE DONE with school!! It is amazing, and weird, and crazy, and hard for us to believe! We have been Poor College Students for so long, it is really all we know. We had a great week celebrating Jeff's Graduation with both of our families. It was so great to have them here, we were so sad when they all had to leave. We filled the week with lots of food, visiting, Jeff's ceremonies, pictures, and of course lots of playing with the P man. He LOVED having his grandparents here and we can tell me misses them already. We are really looking forward to moving home where they will be close all the time (and I think they are even more excited then we are!).

Things went really well with graduation. The ceremonies were a little long, but P did surprisingly well, especially with how thrown off his sleep schedule was. He refused to take naps during the day, the grandparents are way more fun then naps apparently. But he would eventually crash on one of us and that little power-nap gave him the energy for the rest of the day. He was quite a trooper.

To Jeff Walking was kinda bitter-sweet. He really didn't want to, but at the same time it was quite an accomplishment and it gave some closure to everything. He HATED his robe and hood, he felt like some sort of silly wizard, but we all thought he looked great!

I of course had to use my sweet skills to make him a Graduation Cake and I'm not gonna lie . . . I'm pretty impressed with myself on this one. It came out so great! It was also my first time trying to make a filled cake and that part turned out as well. Everyone loved how it looked and tasted. I'm excited to make another one soon. p.s. I'm always wanting some practice, so if you ever want a cake just let me know and I'm more than happy to make one! :)






Anyway, It was really a wonderful week and we miss our family already. I guess it is a good thing they will all be back in a few weeks to meet our little lady! :) Along those lines, things are going well. I have 4 weeks left which is honestly 4 weeks too long! I don't know what it is, but I am having a lot harder time with this pregnancy here towards the end. Maybe it is the fact that it is a girl and I'm carrying so differently, or maybe it is because I was just pregnant with P and never really got a break, but really I am SOOOO done being pregnant. I feel bad for Jeff because I have been so negative lately and complaining a lot and I really shouldn't. I am so grateful that I have the blessing of being pregnant, and that I really do have easy pregnancies compared to most people. I truly have much to be grateful for, but I really hope that she decides to come sooner rather than later. In the mean time I will hang in there and try and remain positive. I think I do a pretty good job because random people that see me in the grocery store or at work say that I am "Way to happy" and "I'm doing way too much" considering my current state. So I guess I'll take those as a complements.

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
