Last week on Wednesday Steven got to be interviewed for the Melchizedek Priesthood. He has been approved and now we are setting a date for him to receive it. I'm thinking it'll be the 2nd weekend in October, but we'll see. We are going to have his Dad perform the ordinance and we need to give him enough time to get time off. But we're excited because this is just one step closer to the temple!
Now in my head on my timeline, I assumed the 22nd and the 26th to be the dates Steven and I received our endowments and got sealed, but with Steven being ordained with the Melchizedek Priesthood here in a few weeks, it also sounds like we will be pushing that date up sooner too. The reason why I say that is because it sounds like the Bishop isn't all that concerned about us needing to take the temple prep classes before hand (which are staring in October). Not sure what to expect. I just want to make sure Steven's parents will have the time to come out and attend as well. Around Christmas I assume would be the easiest due to his mum having Winter Break and both parents should have 24th and 25th off.
I'm just so excited and I understand that this is one of those things that Steven and I need to plan to ourselves and choose the best times for us while the rest of the family will try and make it work with whatever times we choose... but I can't help but try to be considerate so I can have my family be there too.
Anywho, other than that excitement going on, Steven and I had an enjoyable weekend, well, I did. Steven had OT Saturday on a game he doesn't really like. If I was allowed to tell you what the game was, all you fans of this game would probably rip his throat out for complaining that he had to play a game he didn't like considering he didn't have to do the paper work and got lunch catered for him (let alone was being paid OT to just to play the game).
I on the other hand went for a bike ride with my mum. Apollo had another check up that day and it was the first Saturday since we've been trying to do this that one of us didn't have anything planned/illness happen. I also painted a tree on the dog room walk that I've been working on (sorry, been lame about the pictures for this one). After that, I tied Apollo into my bike's basket and my mum and I took off on the interurban trail. We only did 6 miles, but it was a nice doing that activity with my mum. We don't often plan things to do other than hang out at our homes and play games, so this was refreshing alternative from the usual.
The same day we also brought home buddies for Apollo! We are fostering two kittens, Tiger Lily and Whiskers (or the Wonder Twins). Apollo hated them, but finally they are getting along after a few days together which has us relieved that our kitty is actually warming up to other cats and not really becoming a dog.
Sunday night Steven and I got to enjoy the company of the Taylor's, Jessica, and Adam. I love the conversations that generate through us, making for good laughs. Let alone playing loaded questions with this room is amusing too.
Also, at church there were a few talks given about how to make general Conference more enjoyable for your kids. The key word that stuck out to me was tradition. So I'm setting a goal to figure out what my general conference traditions will be so that my family and friends may look forward to it with me. But we'll see how creative and fun I can be.
Love you all and take care. I'm off to conquer the day!
