First Talk in the New Ward

Ladders are generally used to help you reach something that is higher up ... maybe on the top of a closet or the tallest cupboard in the kitchen.  I think that the plan Heavenly Father has for me works kind of like a ladder.  It was designed to help me get to live with Heavenly Father again.

Just like climbing a ladder, this plan has several important steps along the way.  I took the first steps up the ladder when I was baptized and confirmed.  Now I am preparing for the other steps up the ladder that will help me reach the Celestial Kingdom.

One of the most important steps is getting married in the temple.  Heavenly Father sent us down to earth to live in families so we could learn and grow.  When I have my own family, I will learn and grow even more. I can be sealed to my family in the temple. I know that starting my family in the temple will help us take this important step with the love and support of Heavenly Father.

I have never been inside the temple yet, but I have been to weddings.  When my Aunt Natalie married my uncle Tony, I stayed outside with all the kids.  I remember when they came out how super happy they both looked.  It made me feel good to know that they knew it was the right decision and that they got married in the right place.

I am grateful that Heavenly Father came up with a plan to help us return to live with Him.  I know that if I take the right steps, that I will be happy and that my family will always be together.

Father's Day -- Top 3 Things I Love Right Now

The three things I love about my dad are

1. That he's my pal. We always have a great time hanging out no matter what we're doing.  I love it when he swims or play games or just hangs out with me. I love our dinner dates to chili's or outback. I have the best time hanging out with him.

2. He is my movie buddy, we always go see movies together to see the new movies or chill at home to watch a movie that just came out in 3D either way we have a great time.

3. He is so funny and makes me laugh and he is such a good sport and can laugh at himself.

I think my dad is the best dad in the whole world. I love him so much and am so grateful to have him. He Rocks!

Disneyland 2013

We went to DisneyLand with Brad and Laura again this year. I always have a awesome time hanging out with them. At first I was really worried about if Boston and Charly remembered me or not and I thought they wouldn't know who I was but then Charly shouted "Megan" and gave me a huge hug so I got over that issue real quick. 

The first day we went to DisneyLand and rode some awesome rides. Mine is still Big Thunder Mountain Railroad but it was closed.We got ride tons of cool ones though like Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Star Tours and tons of others. We rode Ariel for Charly at least 7 times because she loves it. We went to Cars Land and rode all the cool cars rides. We did Luigi flying tires where you have to control this giant tire by leaning to bump into people. We rode this one ride where you are on a spinning track and you switch tracks and stuff and then the big car ride where you see all the cars and race people. I rode the ferris wheel for the first time and it was kinda scary being up that high but it was actually kind of cool.World of color was amazing and they added a cool Brave section. I love that show.California Adventure is a cool park. An interesting fact about a building in California Adventure is that on a building the word "Eureka" is printed. Eureka is a greek term started by the famous mathematician Archimedes meaning to have uncovered or discovered something you hadn't known before. On the building it is supposedly a lumber company. We also had a cool lunch in Ariels grotto. I like seeing all the princesses. I saw a window with all the once upon a time costumes in it. Once upon a time is one of my favorite shows right now. 

We also had a great time in the Disney Land park.We saw tons of characters and rode rides.We got to see Merida and Riel and Aurora. We also got to see my favorite show Fantasmic where Mickey has to fight bad guys for the power of his imagination and the princess and Pinnochio all come out. Every night I slept over with Charly and we would hang out. We took the kids to Build A Bear too. We made Bos a Spiderman monkey and Charly and I got the same polka dot Minnie Mouse bear which we put cute dresses on. Their names were Spiderman (Boston), Drisella (Charly), and Vera polka dot (me). It was super fun. 

We also went to the beach where we made sand castles and mermaids, caught sand crabs and played in the waves. It was awesome. Dad took me out super far. Afterward we went to Ruby's and ate great food. Ruby's has great shakes. I got a Hersheys chocolate mixed with a Reeses peanut butter cup. It was delicious. 

The last day was really sad. Charly kept hugging me and we were both crying. I liked being the favorite cousin who everybody liked. I was sad but am ok now. I can't wait to see them in November.
