For Time and All Eternity


Last week I wrote about the special opportunity I had to film one of my best friends' proposals. This week; however, I had the opportunity this past week to attend the sealing and reception of another one of my good friends from my mission.

He was married in the Bountiful, Utah temple. It was BEAUTIFUL! As I am sure many of you are aware, Utah is covered in snow, and this just added to the beauty of this temple. I had never been to the Bountiful temple so it was a pleasant discovery. I definitely support my friend’s decision to get married there. I am not familiar with many temples in Utah or very many across the world and would be very curious to hear what you think. What is your favorite LDS temple? (Please click on the link to answer)

As some of my closest friends are reaching these large milestones in their lives, I have really learned the effect that marriage has on your future.

What I mean is that you have to be so careful! Over the past two weeks, I have seen my friends decide who they want to spend time and all eternity with, and I am so excited for them! Thankfully I approve of who they are/or have married because otherwise I would be very worried about what their future entails.

I personally am not anywhere close to getting married, but when I do get closer to making that decision I know that I will be very careful in making that commitment. It is such an exciting time that I very much look forward to!

    I've learned that often your friends know you better than you know yourself. This really applies to getting in relationships - they can usually tell before you do if things won't work out. So, if they're really looking out for you, their advice can be super helpful a lot of the time!

    Marriage is a very important decision. I am happy with the decision that I made to marry to woman that I did.

Are You Sure You Want To Delete?

I think I made a big mistake. I was rushing to get my website hosted on my domain before the deadline   for my Information Systems Class and I accidently added my html folder straight to the general file upload directory instead of the public html. When I realized my mistake, I just clicked delete. And it sent me a message saying something along the lines of, “Are you sure you want to delete instead of put into trash as it will be deleted forever.” I thought it would just delete it from the BYU Domains site and not off my computer. While trying to upload my website, I noticed I didn’t have some of my html files anymore. I have all of my .css files but not my html files. As a result of this mistake, I ended up not going to sleep till 7:30 in the morning. I learned a very valuable lesson. ALWAYS SAVE YOUR WORK! Furthermore, it is not a bad idea to consider backing up all of your data. I know last night it would have been worth its weight in gold. I know in the future I will def

Westover's Marley and Me

Fourteen years ago, my Dad surprised my brothers and I by bringing home a baby puppy that we ended up naming Sugar. This past week we unfortunately had to put sugar down. Sugar lived a great long life, much longer than expected as about 3.5 years ago Sugar was diagnosed with congestive heart failure. She struggled to breath at times and was in visible pain at others. When I left on my mission 3 years ago, I did not expect to see her again as the vet originally told us she had 6 months to live. In the last couple of months Sugar was doing noticeably worse. Within the last two weeks before her passing, she would randomly whine and refused to walk on one of her back legs.               As a result, my Dad took Sugar to the vet to figure out her status. As it turns out, she had a pinched nerve in one of her back legs. The vet said she could fix it through surgery and a medication, but the medications she would have to take to overcome the pinched nerve would counteract the medication fo

DON'T BURN THE YERBA!

Yerba Mate is an herbal tea consisting of an herb plant originating from northern Argentina. Mate is drunk across South America. Mate is known to have many health benefits such as: good source of antioxidants, help you focus and stay awake, hunger suppressant, decreases lactic acid build up in your muscles, promotes good sleep.               Although mate is not common in the United States, I first became familiar with yerba mate in Dallas, Texas while on my mission. At first I thought it was disgusting, but I soon acquired the necessary taste to enjoy such a drink. Since then I have continued to drink mate on a regular basis.               Nevertheless, I learned something new about mate this week. I learned that when you first pour in the water to drink mate, it is best to pour in cold water (even though mate is prepared hot). The reason being, is so that you do not burn the mate right away with boiling hot water. This allows the taste of the yerba to be consistent througho
