Life Is Wonderful!

Lately I've been doing a lot of thinking and I came across a few things:

1. My little sister - T - is one of the most loving people I know. I have never met someone who forgives more than she does. She hasn't always had the easiest time in life and has a hard time with friends, but she accepts people for who they are, loves them, and forgives them when they hurt her. She is always there for them and is so loyal. She is such an example to me of this Christ-like behavior. I haven't always treated her the way she deserves, but as I have grown older I have been able to see T for who she really is. She genuinely loves people, helping, being a friend, and having fun. Another think I admire about her is that she has no inhibitions. She loves herself and accepts the way she is. Not many people can say that about themselves. My little sister is one of a kind and I am so grateful I get to be her big sister and to watch her as she succeeds in her life! She is going to do great things!

2. I'm really baby hungry. It probably doesn't help that all of the women/families in the neighborhood are pregnant, just had babies, or already have kids. They are so cute and so fun. I know that J and I just got married and I still want to spend time with him to get to know him more. We are only 22 for heaven's sake! But I do know that we will have babies soon-ish. I graduate in a year and then we'll see what happens from there. Of course it is all in the Lord's hands. He is in charge and He will tell us what He wants us to do. But just as a little preview for you all! This is my husband as a baby:

and this is me as a baby:

I know.....

We are going to have cute children! No wonder I am so excited right? When the time is right it will happen and I know that. I'm excited to be a mom, but I am more excited to see J be a dad! He is so good with kids already. All the kids at church are drawn to him and he is so fun. Watching him be a daddy will be a wonderful thing!

3. I love my family. And I am not just talking about J and I. I am talking about my immediate family - the one I grew up in and the one I married into. Since I've been married I have realized the importance and permanence of the family unit. There is something special about family and the support system that they are. I am so blessed to have a wonderful family on both sides! My family is just starting to grow bigger as we are growing up and getting married, but J's family is already grown and is only getting bigger. J is the baby and so  I was the last spouse to come into the family and so now babies will be the only new additions. It is fantastic and I love it! How lucky am I that no matter what I will always have family to support me.

 I am a blessed girl and I am so happy! I am so glad I married J. He is my best friend and someone I rely on dearly. He is with me through thick and thin. He is wonderful. I love him more than anything - more than I know how to explain. 

I love being married!

Yesterday I had the best time with my boy! We just talked and I told him things that I've never told anyone before. It is incredible how much I trust him and rely on him. He is my rock! I love having my best friend so close to me all the time and being able to spend every moment together. When we first were married I thought that I loved him so much, but as I look back on it today.... I love him so much more than I did then. I didn't think that was possible. I wish I had the words to explain it. I've tried so many times, but all I can say is it is incredible. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful man to spend forever with. I want everyone to feel this happiness!

Cool Pic Eh?

Oh What A Beautiful Morning!!

This weekend was the LDS General Conference.

I got to to go the conference center to see General Conference

for the very first time in my life!

The spirit was there so strong and when President Monson

walked in I got chills through out my entire body.

I know he is a Prophet of God without a doubt.

 He always has the greatest stories to tell. 

This conference he told a story about how he learned

the lesson of obedience.

It is fun to know that the Prophet of God was once a child too

who was mischievous and made mistakes.

It reminds me that we all are human and we all make mistakes.

President Monson

Adorable right??

I also got to spend the weekend with my husband, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.

It was fabulous. We had a great time!

So many laughs and good memories! The boys went to Priesthood meeting

so I spent the evening with my mother-in-law just chatting and watching 

the food network! I loved it!

I can't wait until we get to go visit them this summer!

Another special thing about this particular conference was that I 

had been praying for an answer of what to do with my life

and the answer came!! Heavenly Father is so mindful of me and my life.

He let me know through the talks given at conference what I needed to do.

It was up to me to listen.

The answer to my prayer was so subtle that I had to piece it together.

Heavenly Father must know that I love puzzles!

I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ is on the earth 

and I know that He lives. I know God lives. 

I know that Temples are a place of peace and happiness. 

There is not better place to be.

I am so grateful that families are forever.

I can't imagine Heaven being Heaven if I wasn't with my family.

The Lord loves you. 

I am already excited for Conference in October!

6 Months

6 months ago I agreed top marry the greatest man in the world! Three months ago I married him. It is the greatest decision I've ever made. I never knew I could be so happy! I love you J!!!!

Catch Up

So... I'm terrible at keeping up with this. 

But my life isn't too exciting! 

I am in the last few weeks of the semester, so I 

am trying to get everything done While I still have time.

This summer I am going to class too and working

part time like I am right now. 

Hopefully J will get a job too!! 

Love that boy!

Anyways,

all is well and things are great!

I currently am lounging about, procrastinating, 

and watching Lord of the Rings with my hubs!

It is one of our favorite things to do!

We are lame. hahah

But I love it. So much!!

Here are some recent pictures of us.

Blah....

I am not a fan of the way my

anxiety forces itself into my relationship with my husband.

It doesn't make things better.

I wish that I could just sort things out in my head.

.....gah.....
