The Eunuch Dog

Our poor little puppy became less of a man a few days ago. We finally bit the bullet and got him neutrered. He has become more aggressive at the dog park, specifically to lab puppies. It is so odd but finally pushed us to book him for surgery.

When I called the vet, Wrigley gave me sad eyes and I am positive he knew exactly what I was doing.

Wrigley absolutely hated his cone but I made him wear it because I was so nervous that he would get at it and we would be back at the vet. He now sleeps on a pillow by our bed so that is where we put him for the night. We hadn't cleaned up our room in quite some time so we soon heard some crying from Wrigley. He had wandered and had gotten stuck behind a laudry basket and couldn't make it back to his pillow with the cone. I took pity on him so i pulled him up in to the bed. I had just come off night so I was having troubles sleeping. So was Wrigley. He just sat on the end of the bed looking sad. Finally at 2:00 am I took went with Wrigley to the couch and took the cone off of him. I didn't want to wake Tim because he had classes in the morning. The good news is that Wrigley left it alone and we have not had any problems! He is back in full force with more energy than ever!

Calgary Temple

It is so wonderful to finally have a temple here in Calgary. The open house and dedication were amazing. It was so amazing to see the entire city buzzing with excitement. Everybody was curious and there were so many wonderful stories of people's experiences as they went through.
I had the opportunity to go through with a bunch of my friends from work.

How the open house worked was you first sat in the church to watch a movie to explain why temples are so important to us. In the movie one of the apostles talked about how heaven wouldn't be heaven with out his family. I really liked this part of the video. I felt like it put things in perspective for me. Family is so important to me and I love them all so much! I look forward to the future when we start our family and it is so comforting to know that whatever happens we will be together forever. Beyond that Heavenly Father our loves us enough to give us temples so that we can do work for ancestors who have passed on before us. We all get an equal chance. I can't imagine living life having no idea as to what happens when we die.
After the video we got to go walk through and see all the rooms in the temple. I didn't realize how much I take for granted because I have been in the church my entire life. I loved the curiosity of my friends. It was really amazing to take it all in. Inside the temple is absolutely beautiful. Everything is so elegantly done. I loved the theme of wheat through the temple. It made it special and unique to Calgary!
I also went to the temple with the Wright's. We even managed to sneak in a family picture.

The dedication was also superb. President Monson and Elder Packer came to Calgary to dedicate our beautiful temple. While President Monson was speaking you could feel the love he has for everyone and especially Calgary. He is so witty and wonderful. I do truly love and trust him.
There is truly a spirit of peace and happiness all around the temple and I am beyond grateful to have the blessing so close to me. I look forward to many temple dates with Tim!

Halloween 5KM

I know I am slow at getting this blog in but I am super proud of myself for running a 5km race. I know wimpy for only a 5km race but it was way fun and I think I will sign up again!

I was a neon/glowstick girl.

I ran the race with Jennessa and Audrey who are some of my favorite girls from work.

Audrey was dressed up as Mario and we had a blast waiting for the race to start and looking at all of the cool characters. Audrey's sister did a big group warm up dance and the best part was gagam style. That was the point that Jennessa showed up and she hasn't let me live down my dancing skills.

Audrey is in amazing shape and made Jennessa and me run super fast and super hard. We finished in under 40minutes! WOW! Maybe if I practice I will be even faster for next time!
