Marriage!!!

Successful marriages and families are established and maintained on principles of Faith, Prayer, Repentance, Forgiveness, Respect, Love, Compassion, Work, and Wholesome Recreational Activities. (The Family: A Proclamation To The World)

I am convinced that a Husband is never more attractive to his wife than when he is serving in his God-given roles as a worthy priesthood holder. (Linda K. Burton)

Love is spelled TIME. (President Dieter F. Uchtdorf)

A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers. (Ruth Bell Graham)

You will Forever be MY Always! (Unknown)

Love is meant to be an adventure. (Gordon B. Hinckley)

Those who are married should consider their union as their most cherished earthly relationship. A spouse is the only person other than the Lord whom we have been commanded to love with all our heart. One of our Heavenly Father's first commandments was to multiply and replenish the earth. Genesis 1:28 says, "And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it:.." 

In Genesis, Chapter 2, verse 24, we learn about husband and wife. It says, "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife; and they shall be one flesh." 

We are taught that marriage is between one man and woman. Marriage was made this way because we have been commanded to "multiply and replenish the earth", to bring our Heavenly Father's children to this earth so that they can have the same opportunities as we have had, so that they can help to fulfill Heavenly Father's plan to be tried and to be tested. Marriage is the way to do that.

Once... In the middle of Rexburg...

Ok. But honestly. I don't know how much of this actually has to do with being in the middle of Rexburg... But I have definitely realized how crazy life can really be. There have been so many things that just keep happening and I'm just so excited for everything.

My sister had a beautiful little girl. She is so gorgeous!!! And Precious!!!! And I could just definitely go on and on and on about her. Her name is Caroline Janine and she is just the best little bundle you could possibly ask for. Its just such a blessing to know that because my sister and brother-in-law made such a wonderful covenant with our Father in Heaven and they can be married and sealed for time and all eternity. Its so wonderful to know that.

 I have been so blessed the last several months. I have learned so much coming to Brigham Young University-Idaho. How wonderful it is to be able to truly learn what our Heavenly Father has in store for each of us. To learn more of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and what it is that he did for us. He gave his life so that we could return to live with our heavenly parents.

I am so blessed to know of the things that happen in these beautiful temples!!! They truly are the House of The Lord. I am so blessed when I can walk into them or see them, and be able to see "House of the Lord", knowing that I am worthy to partake in all of the blessings of these beautiful places!!!

I was so excited to be able to fly home and see my sweet family for Christmas. It was definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made. I love knowing that I can go home to see me family and know how much they love me. I love having the knowledge that my parents got married and sealed by the right authority for time and all eternity.
