Marriage bliss

We've been married for over 2 months now. I never thought that I would feel so close to someone like I do to Rick. My sweet husband is such a loving, compassionate, understanding man. I am so grateful that Heavenly Father blessed me with someone like him.

Married life has been busy thus far. We have finished Fall semester of school, had a two week honeymoon to Sun Valley Idaho over the holidays, I got a new job, we started a new semester in school, we have recieved callings in our new ward (I am the primary teacher for the 4 & 5 year old and Rick teaches the youth sunday school class), and the list goes on. We spoke in church on Sunday and My parent's and great aunt came, Andrew my brother, and Rick's parents. They were supportive and we even had them over to our apartment afterward for dinner! It was great. It is finally hitting me that I am grown up! Speaking in church with my husband and making dinner for family that was coming over after was enough for me to realize I am no longer the little girl that never had much responsibility.


I was at my parent's house the other day to do laundry and no one was home. I layed on the couch like old times and listened to the clock ticking. It was weird the emotion that came over me. I missed "home" so badly. But then I immediately realized that my "home" was no longer there. It is now wherever Rick is. That made me smile so big I could hardly open my eyes! I am so happy to have moved on to this part of my life and to begin this journey with such an amazing man!

I love my Father in Heaven for knowing and understanding my needs and giving me the most precious gift, and eternal marriage. I know that as Rick and I continue to do what we know is right then we will always find happiness amid the tough times.
