I'm actually really excited to be starting this blog. Sometimes I have a lot going on in this head of mine and just need somewhere to write it all down.
The title I chose for this post can fit so many different topics in my life right now. The biggest being I was recently Married to my best friend in June and as of a few days ago we have been married for 6 months. You never really understand what they mean by "The first year is the hardest" until you are living it. There are so many things that you have to learn to do differently (like what you cook), learning to understand that you may not have as many of similarities as you did when you were just dating. I was having a hard time with this particular subject recently and found this quote that helped so much.
"Obviously the Lord has created us with different personalities, as well as differing degrees of energy, interest, health, talent, and opportunity. So long as we are committed to righteousness and living a life of faithful devotion, we should celebrate these divine differences, knowing they are a gift from God. We must not feel so frightened, so threatened and insecure; we must not need to find the exact replicas of ourselves in order to feel validated as women or men of worth. There are many things over which we can be divided, but one thing is needful for our unity-- the empathy and compassion of the living Son of God"
(Patricia T. Holland, Ensign, Oct 1987,26)
I am so grateful for a husband who thinks differently from me and shows me new light in this world everyday.
The second topic this title pertains to is, my husband and I are moving back to Arizona. We have been living in New Mexico going to school. But we have both been accepted to the U of A :) so exciting, so we are moving to St. David. I am so excited to be part of the church in that town and NOT HAVE TO DRIVE SO MUCH EVERY WEEKEND! That got so tiring and gas is way too expensive.
The final topic for this title is Of Course, starting out writing this blog. when I write I have a tendency to go off on tangents so my apologies now!
