Hey All!
   So I've been thinking about what to post.  It thought that I would share a little about me.  I'm getting married this summer to the love of my life and I'm so excited!!  He lives in Plymouth England, and I live in Virginia.  It's hard having a long distance relationship, but as of yesterday, it's only 15 more weeks until we see each other and then only 16 weeks until we get married!!!!  Wahoo!!!  We are so grateful for the technologies that we have.  Phones calls, texting, Facebook, and Skype!  It's wonderful to have these things because we are able to talk and see each other each and every day.  He stays up late and we talk after I'm done with work and I wake up at about 3:15 am so that we can talk for a few minutes before he goes to work.  We're doing what we can to make this work, and I'm so lucky!!  
   Anyway, we've known each other since the end of September 2013.  I feel so blessed to have him in my life. I've been asked why I want to marry him and why so soon.  Why not just live together.  Well, let me share with y'all a little about the whys.    First of all, we believe that we should abstain from being intimate until after we are married and that you should only have sexual relations with your husband or wife who you are legally and lawfully married to.  So this is a great incentive to marry my sweetheart! 
   Second, we believe that families are forever.  That we have the opportunity to be with those that we love for this life and the next!  We believe that we can be sealed with our families by the power of the priesthood. I love my sweetheart so very much and I want nothing more than to be with him forever!  I cannot think of anything better than to spend this life and the next with him.  He is such an amazing man who blesses my life each and every day. Why wouldn't I want to marry him and be with him forever?  It's such a fun thought!  That we will be together forever.  When we have children, we will be with them forever!!  I love this idea!!  It makes me so happy!  It makes life better, HE makes life better!  
   So for both of these reasons I want to marry him!  I love the idea of marriage!  I know that things will be hard and I also know that between me, my sweetheart, and God we can handle anything that is thrown our way!

Hey All!  So I've been thinking about starting a blog to share all my adventures. . .I hope that you enjoy!  Today was a good day. . .I've got so much on my mind and so many things that I'm trying to go through and so many changes happening that I'm amazed I'm still going at it all!  One of the things that gets me through is the knowledge that I'm not alone!  That my Lord and Savior is there with me and that no matter what I am going through, he is there and he understands what I'm doing.  I feel so blessed!  It really is the little things in life that make everything ok and better.  The little things like a testimony of a child talking about their family and how they know Jesus lives.  The willingness of a friend to come and chat even though you're not sure what to say or what's wrong with you.  The post on Facebook that makes you feel like you're not alone and you feel like it was put there just for you.  All those little things make life that much easier to handle.  How blessed am I to have the blessings that I have.  To have the Lord in my life and my good family!  I'm so blessed!!
