No greater joy. {Week 9}

WHAT. A. WEEK.

This past week has been of the craziest ever, but most definitely one of the best. 

Hot chocolate run with ma FHE boyz

Tears were shed... but I couldn't be too sad about this sight because there are tire mark hearts in the snow. Haha. It's the little things.  

Speaking of hearts... found this little gem in our bell pepper!

I got sick agaaaain this week... so I was drinking a lot of honey lemon stuff and airborne. Definitely not the best timing in the world! But I've got a good one taking care of me. ;)

100% irresistible.

Then Kelton and I decided that we should probably go to Arizona...haha. :) It's a good thing I love every second I get with this guy because we ended up spending a total of about 30 hours in the car together. That's a lot of hours! Haha it was so fun to talk and laugh and jam out. Road trips rock.

We drove through the night on Friday and finally made it there on Saturday morning!!

Okay...craziest thing ever.  Kelton and I were in my grandparents' neighborhood and and we saw this sign. I can't even tell you how many times I have seen and driven past this street sign, but it all of a sudden had so much more meaning than it ever had before! Haha

It's almost a tradition now to surprise Brooklynn every time I go to Arizona. Haha. I love it so much! Her reactions are priceless.

Love these people!

My goodbye to Brooklynn wasn't as bitter as it usually is because she is coming to Rexburg this week!! HOLLA! P.S. Can we talk about how it was like 70 degrees outside and I was wearing flip flops?!

We met up with a lot of my family on this trip! I really just love every single one of my family members. I miss them all so much! So shout out to everyone we got to see on our little trip!! I really love you all so much.

Shout out to my sweet cousin Ellie for snapping this gem.

My absolute favorite place with my absolute favorite man. 

So one of the reasons we went down was because this was going to be happening... my grandparents are good friends with the Uchtdorf's and wanted to meet up with all of the grandkids! #perksofdatingme haha JK JK

DIETER!

You couldn't do anything to get that smile off my face. Best day ever. President Uchtdorf is such an incredible man. My testimony of living prophets grew times 34597530487 as I met him and saw how Christlike he was. He has a special spirit about him. That is for sure.

The Phoenix Arizona temple was dedicated on Sunday and I seriously cannot express to you how happy I am. Being able to see the entire process (preparing for it, it being announced, the ground breaking, the construction, and then finally the dedication) has been such a great experience.

I drove past this lot so many times growing up. Little did I know what special building would be built here!

...and now it's finally done!! (Definitely stole this picture.)

I felt so much love when I finally got the chance to walk on those sacred grounds. 

No greater joy.
