3 Nephi 28
3 And he said unto them: Blessed are ye because ye desired this thing of me; therefore, after that ye are seventy and two years old ye shall come unto me in my kingdom; and with me ye shall find rest.

12 And it came to pass that when Jesus had spoken these words, he touched every one of them with his finger save it were the three who were to tarry, and then he departed.

13 And behold, the heavens were opened, and they were caught up into heaven, and saw and heard unspeakable things.
14 And it was forbidden them that they should utter; neither was it given unto them power that they could utter the things which they saw and heard;
15 And whether they were in the body or out of the body, they could not tell; for it did seem unto them like a transfiguration of them, that they were changed from this body of flesh into an immortal state, that they could behold the things of God.

So 72 is the age of man. What exactly does that mean? Verse 12 confuses me because immediately before that the 3 Nephites are discussed. Obviously they don't get touched BUT does that mean they aren't caught up into heaven or get to see and hear unspeakable things? 15 makes it sound like just the 3 are taken up since they are changed to an immortal state to behold the things of God. I'm guessing ALL the apostles are taken or caught up into heaven. I guess it doesn't really matter. I just want to know.

Yesterday in Sunday School we discussed the Word of Wisdom. I don't know why I have such a difficult time going to sleep at a decent hour. I love sleep but I rarely go to bed before midnight. Working at PCC nightshow finished at 9:00. BYU-Hawaii didn't have ANY activity before 9:30pm. Dances finished after 1am. I worked in high school and went to the dances there when I was in high school.

Being a dancing queen when I went to the Y didn't help either. I don't go clubbing anymore and going to bed after midnight is A LOT better than when I used to sleep but I know I could get more things done if I just went to bed early. David goes to bed at 9. I don't think I'm that ambitious. I forced myself to sleep at 11pm then I was awake at 3am. I sort of slept but my mind was working overtime.

Ideally I want to sleep at 10pm. That was my mission time so I'm going to try that. After choir I had enchiladas at Jennifer Lugo's house. I was supposed to have a potluck at my house but after packing stuff I REALLY didn't want anyone seeing my house when I have dirty dishes in my sink, luggage in my living-room and all the stuff in my storage closet in my living-room. I texted everyone the message of the cancelled potluck but Jennifer's phone # listed is her land line. Strange it didn't let me know anything was wrong. I felt bad that she made enchiladas and after finding out what happened she told me to come over and have some enchiladas. I told her I'd bring a strawberry cake since I planned to make one anyway. I had fresh strawberries, cool whip and cream cheese as well as guava glaze from my 1st attempt. Jennifer goes to bed early. She AND Sunday School made me sleep at 11 last night and are going to make me sleep at 10 every other night.

Freaky! This morning at 3am when I woke up feeling rested I had some illumination. Revelation from keeping the word of wisdom? I felt like I'm moving because I'm getting married and not just because of my AC. I asked Josh if he and Jeff can help me on July 5th. He said it's no problem and he put it in his schedule. I want to move everything I can myself first and let them do what I can't.

Major freak-out. I started thinking alright I can do this, BUT then I thought if I get married now I'm having kids now and I'm NOT going to work full-time at Stevens-Henager College when that happens. That'll mean I just fulfill 1 year of my MBA payback time BUT then I thought maybe they'll honor it if I teach a class for them online AND 2 nights a week when hubby dearest can watch baby-girl. He NEEDS to finish school EVEN if I have to support him for a couple years.

I've been sooo slacking on my Zumba. I don't want to eat anything now and I'm just going to become workout woman/healthfreak now. I get why Alisa teaches Zumba at 6am. I want to teach it at 5:30 then I can be home before my husband leaves to school or work and he can be home watching baby until I get home. I'm having 3 daughters and I'm having them right after each other beginning right when I get married.

AFTER I figure all this out I'm thinking I love him BUT I'm NOT in love with him. He hasn't done anything for me to feel that way. He IS going to have to date me WELL and A LOT for any of this to happen. He hasn't done ANYTHING this summer and I can't conceive of how this would occur BUT I am going to be ready if this comes to pass. If this doesn't happen it is ALL going to be on HIM.
