Natalie Reimann

So last Saturday Natalie and I went with my mom and dad to the temple. we use to go every third Saturday as a family. though life throws curve balls sometimes and one thing led to another and the family has not been keeping up on the tradition. We are starting over though and we are off to a good start. Anyway while we were doing a session i looked over at Natalie and she was crying at the end. she told me she felt very close to the person she was going through for. While in the celestial room i started pondering over the last year. i have not been the best at building the spiritual foundation my family needs. not that we were being wicked but just not growing well. we had a great moment with Kirsten's baptism but thinking about it, Natalie is the one who has really turned up the heat getting us ready for Kirsten's baptism. she has us doing family home evening, reading scriptures and saying family prayers. she does this with a bad condition causing pain in her body all the time. so Natalie i just want to let you know how much i love you and how grateful i am the lord has blessed me with such a great companion. you make this family great. our girls are prof of all the hard work you put in. thanks thanks thanks.

Kirsten's baptism

Kirsten had her baptism last Saturday the 7Th. we started the day slow. we just rested got the house clean and i spent some time with Kirsten reading some scripture. of coarse there is always something out there to try and stop all good spiritual experiences. right before we left to go to the baptism whitnee started throwing up. we got it all out of whitnee and gave her a blessing and headed over to the church. the service was great and very spiritual the tears started on the opening hymn. we got Kirsten baptized on the first dip and everyone did great on there parts of the program. i think Kirsten really got a good taste of the spirit. after the service we went over to sizzler for dinner. all the family came and we ate and ate. after dinner we went home and of coarse whitnee threw up all her dinner. the good thing is her blessing worked she was fine through the whole baptism. yesterday Kirsten got to stand in front of the congregation and be recognized. the rest of the Sunday we got to spent with my parents and we got some good rest in.

Keeping the cool

It is the day before Kirsten's baptism. i am trying hard to keep myself in a good state i need to keep the swears down and listen to good music. i am at work and i tried the classical thing once and almost dropped a truck on my head. also mechanic and truck drives. how does one keep the swears down in that kind of environment. then tonight we are going to have a bunch of girls over for a sleepover. good news i did take some aggression out on my xbox last night so i am doing good. so breath in and breath out. i am so happy that Kirsten is growing up to be such a good person. i am proud of her. keep making the good choices Kirsten and you will do well in life.
