Minnie Hamilton Bagley

My Grandma Bagley peacefully past away this morning. She has always been such a wonderful example to me. She has always been very talented, she had a beautiful voice, she could play the piano, she could sew, and she was a wonderful cook, but most importantly she was the most loving virtueous woman. I have never heard a negative word come out of her mouth. She never criticized any of her grandkids but loved us with all her heart. Just on Monday night I was thinking about my weaknesses and how I need to be a better person, and I thought about my Grandma Bagley as an example of how I need to be better. And I told Steve that night I need to be more like my Grandma Bagley. I hope that when I am her age I can be at least half the woman she was. I hope that my Grandma and Grandpa had a sweet reunion this morning as they greeted each other in Heaven.

This is the last time I saw my Grandma before she past away, but I know that we will see each other again some day.

Calli Danielle Merris

October 10th was an eventful day because not only did Rob and Breanna get married but also Calli Danielle was born at the exact same time as their sealing. She is a beautiful little girl and we are glad to have her be apart of the family. I got to meet her on Sunday since we were up in Idaho for the wedding, Steve unfortunately was sick so I went to the hospital on Sunday afternoon and got to hold and meet her for the first time.

Rob and Breanna's Wedding

On Friday, October 9th Steve and I drove up to Idaho Falls for Steve's brother Rob's wedding. The night before his fiance Breanna went through the temple for the first time and Steve and I had the opportunity to attend. That was a really neat experience. The Idaho Falls Temple is beautiful. I was grateful to go do an endowment session because Steve and I didn't get to go through it three months ago when we were in Idaho because it was closed for cleaning.

On Saturday we got up and got ready and headed over to the temple for their sealing. The sealing was really beautiful, the sealers last name was Hinckley which I thought was really cool!

This is the happy couple when they first got out of the temple.

Here is Steve with all of his sibblings.

After the wedding Steve's parents did a luncheon, and then we went to their reception. I thought Breanna's mom did such a great job at decorating the cultural hall.

And then they were off on their honeymoon. Congratulations Rob and Breanna!

Joseph Smith: Campaign for President of the United States

I thought that this was a really cool article in the Ensign. I never realized that Joseph Smith came pretty close to becoming the President (or at least his enemies thought that he would become the President), and that was a huge reason why he was martyred. I would love to hear what all of you think of this article.

BYU vs. Utah State

I got to go to the Football game on Friday and it was so much fun. I hadn't been to a football game since 2007 for BYU. I decided going with Steve is the best way to go because he has bleacher chairs that are all cushioned and with a back, so that was nice. Sitting outside of the student section is also great because you don't have to stand the whole time. And last but not least, Steve brings binoculars and it is so cool to see the game up close like that. And the best part of it was BYU won but did we ever have any doubt? Oh and I got to see my Aunt Susan.
