Quick recap:
29 October - LJ walked me down the isle so that I may be married to one of the world's best men, Matt! And let me just point out that there is only one other day (besides Jonathan's birth) that will come close in comparison to how happy that day made me feel. That day will be when Matt and I will have the joyous opportunity to be sealed for time and all eternity as a family!
2 November - I took a previous planned (and much needed for both of us!) birthday vacation with my dear friend Becky to LA... Our only plan once getting there.... was that we HAD NO PLAN! It worked out for our benefit, as we got in a lot of walking, and when we finally made out way to the beach...... it was GAME TIME BABY!!!
5 November - Though I did not want to leave the beautiful 80 degree weather, I boarded the plane and went to a military course near Salt Lake City, Utah for 2 weeks. And with all silly things, a silver lining will mostly likely be found! My silver lining came from a friend whom I will hold dear for the remainder of life. She became such a strength to me and together we had some good laughs!
After I completed that course, I was met at the airport by my wonderful husband and excited little boy! It was a load off my shoulders to see them both - all mother's know what I'm talking about - you miss them terribly when you are separated (even though separations are needed!).
Thanksgiving up in Northern Idaho with Tera's family! (and mom and dad too!)
Life has continued to stay busy with bursting into the holiday season as well! There is so much love in my life, and I am eternally grateful for the numerous blessings that I have been given and the amazing family and friends that have been placed in my life.
And that pretty much catches you up!!! But I'm not done.... :)
This morning, I had the amazing opportunity to return to the temple and go through an early morning session with a dear friend. And to her, my extreme appreciation and adoration!
There comes a point in life (maybe even several points in life) that we are asked to do something outside of the "plan" we choose for ourselves. And if any of you are like me... you will more than likely fight these feelings, or bring to surface the justifications that have a bit of reason as to why it wouldn't be a good idea. But as I sat in that wonderful building, I realized just who's 'justifications' were actually coming to surface. (And yes Cindi, you all ready made those comments to me - again I bring up the stubborn factor in me!) So even though the point at hand in my life scares the ever-living-snot right out of me, I will put my faith back in my Father, for He knows more than I can begin to comprehend.
