Tomorrow, Tomorrow...

I'm getting married Tomorrow! I'm so excited! It's going to be beautiful. It's only less than a day away! (I know cheesy. I'm just so excited!) (So I just realized that this post posted on Saturday the 26th which was the day that I got married. Sorry to those who were confused that I got married on Sunday not Saturday.)

2 More Saturdays from now

I will marrying my best friend, Jason Wolf, on the 26th! We are so excited to finally be getting married! We can officially start our wonderful life together. I love him so much. The wedding is going to be in Arizona so I will be able to see all my family and friends. I'm so excited!

Ok...I took it again and got Red. I think they are both me a little bit.

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Red

Your color is red, the color of racy sportscars, blushing cheeks, and luscious roses. Red symbolizes passion, romance, and love. So, since you're ruled by red, you probably trust your feelings more than your brain and tend to act spontaneously. If you see something you want, you go for it without thinking twice — impulsive is your middle name. You don't wait around for people to make decisions, either; you dive right in. Quite the romantic, you pay close attention to your emotions. In fact, if your heart isn't in what you're doing, you won't be satisfied. Of course, even when you do pour all your energy into the projects you tackle, your impetuous nature means your passions can shift as frequently as the wind. That's why some reds have trouble with commitment. Our advice? Next time you're feeling fickle, think before you act, if possible. You might be surprised at the results. Overall, though, it's great to be red. No one lives life more completely than you do.

What are you?

My True Color is... The absense of color?! Wierd!

What's Your True Color?

My Result: Black

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you.

What are you?

President Gordon B. Hinckley 1910-2008

For the second time in a week I've had a post about someone who has died that came as a shock to me. Fortunately, this person has made a much greater impact on my life than just a actor. While I was boarding a plane to leave Denver after being stuck in the airport all day, something very sad happened a state away. President Hinckley passed away last night about 7:00 pm in Salt Lake City. This has come as a complete shock to me. I just read about it in an email about a half hour ago. I seriously can't believe it. He was an amazing President and Prophet. I loved listening to him speak. He will be greatly missed by all the church and everyone that he came in contact with throughout the world. The Arizona Republic wrote a nice article about it so I'm going to copy and past it here for everyone to read. I am just so happy that I was able to listen to Conference back in October and listen to a Prophet's voice. Since before I was born President Hinckley had been in the First Presidency of the Church. From the time I was learning how to say my prayers, I have always prayed for the First Presidency, each one individually, always saying "bless President Hinckley." I'm so glad to have grown up listening to him speak and bear testimony of the Gospel and truthfulness of the Church. I remember watching the video that came out of all the testimonies of the Quorum of the Twelve and First Presidency and how amazing his testimony was. What an amazing man to have lived on the earth!

Mormon Church President Gordon B. Hinckley dies at 97

SALT LAKE CITY - Gordon B. Hinckley, the Mormon Church's oldest president who presided over one of the greatest periods of expansion in its history, died Sunday. He was 97.

Hinckley, the 15th president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, died of complications arising from old age, church spokesman Mike Otterson said.

"His life was a true testament of service, and he had an abiding love for others," said U.S. Sen. Orrin Hatch, a Utah Republican and fellow Mormon. "His wit, wisdom, and exemplary leadership will be missed by not only members of our faith, but by people of all faiths throughout the world."

Hinckley had been diagnosed with diabetes and was hospitalized in January 2006 for the removal of a cancerous growth in his large intestine.

In April 2006, he told a church conference he was in the "sunset of my life" and "totally in the hands of the Lord." But six months later, Hinckley told followers that doctors had given him a clean bill of health, and he resumed a regular work schedule.

By unfailing tradition, at a church president's death, the church's most senior apostle is ordained within days on a unanimous vote of the Council of the Twelve Apostles. The most long-serving apostle now is Thomas S. Monson, 80.

The church presidency is a lifetime position. Before Hinckley, the oldest church president was David O. McKay who was 96 when he died in 1970.

Hinckley, a grandson of Mormon pioneers, was president for nearly 13 years. He took over as president and prophet on March 12, 1995 and oversaw one of the greatest periods of expansion in church history. The number of temples worldwide more than doubled, from 49 to more than 120 and church membership grew from about 9 million to about 13 million.

About 62 percent of Utah's 2.7 million residents are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Leaders in all levels of government are members, including the governor, lieutenant governor and attorney general.

Mayor Ralph Becker, who is not Mormon, said Hinckley made it a habit to branch out to other religions: "He was such a unifier, someone who was warm and engaging and respecting of everyone who he encountered."

Like his contemporary, Pope John Paul II, Hinckley became by far his church's most traveled leader in history. And the number of Mormons outside the United States surpassed that of American Mormons for the first time since the church, the most successful faith born in the United States, was founded in 1830.

"His leadership in humanitarian efforts around the world was matched only by his efforts in his own beloved state and community as a committed citizen," said Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, a Mormon. "He has stood as a remarkable example of selflessness, charity and humility and he will be greatly missed by all."

Hinckley's last public appearance was Jan. 4 for the reopening of the Utah Capitol after a nearly four-year renovation.

He began his leadership role in 1995 by holding a rare news conference, citing growth and spreading the Mormon message as the church's main challenge heading into the 21st century.

"We are dedicated ... to teaching the gospel of peace, to the promotion of civility and mutual respect among people everywhere, to bearing witness to the living reality of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the practice of his teachings in our daily lives," Hinckley said.

Over the years, Hinckley labored long to burnish the faith's image as a world religion far removed from its peculiar and polygamous roots. Still, during his tenure the Roman Catholic Church, Southern Baptist Convention and United Methodist Church - the three largest U.S. denominations - each declared that Mormon doctrines depart from mainstream Christianity.

"We are not a weird people," Hinckley told Mike Wallace on "60 Minutes" in 1996.

"The more people come to know us, the better they will understand us," Hinckley said in an interview with The Associated Press in late 2005. "We're a little different. We don't smoke. We don't drink. We do things in a little different way. That's not dishonorable. I believe that's to our credit."

Hinckley's grandfather knew church founder Joseph Smith and followed Brigham Young west to the Great Salt Lake Basin. He often spoke of the Mormon heritage of pioneer sacrifice and its importance as a model for the modern church.

"I think as long as history lasts there will be an interest in the roots of this work, a very deep interest," Hinckley said in a 1994 interview with the AP.

"Because insofar as the people of the church are concerned, without a knowledge of those roots and faith in the validity of those roots, we don't have anything," he said.

In 1997, Hinckley seemed to drive that point home in his orchestration of the lavish sesquicentennial celebration of the Mormons' arrival in the Salt Lake Valley. The yearlong festivities featured a TV-friendly reenactment of the dramatic Mormon exodus from the Midwest by handcart and covered wagon.

Born June 23, 1910, in Salt Lake City, Hinckley graduated from the University of Utah with a degree in arts and planned to attend graduate school in journalism. Instead, a church mission took him to the British Isles.

Upon his return, he became executive director of the newly formed Church Radio, Publicity, and Mission Literature Committee at $60 a month. Hinckley always worked for the church, except for a brief stint during World War II as a railroad agent.

Hinckley was preceded in death by his wife, Marjorie Pay Hinckley, whom he married in 1937. She died April 6, 2004.
