Life is SO GOOD!!!

I could go on and on about all of the things in my life that create stress- like the fact that my Cub Scout den (the 8 yr-olds!) is in charge of the skit for the Blue and Gold banquet tonight or that parent/teacher conferences are tomorrow & I'm the teacher half!-

But really life is good!

I have the best husband in the entire universe! And this is a VERY true statement!

I was able to see my nephew, Zac, in "Fools" (the play at his high school) last weekend! And he did an awesome job!

I get to enjoy my den's skit at the Blue and Gold banquet tonight! They will have so much fun!

I get to meet with parents tomorrow at P/T conferences! And we will be able to help their student!

Yes, life is good when you remember how to view it!

One year ago, I had this to say on my blog:

Now lest you think I do not believe in love or do not think there is any in my own life, you will have to see the end of this post...

But for now: Valentine's Day has yet to be a good day of the year (for more than a week, that is) to me

 

Yeah.... Not so fun...

But today was the first of many, many spectacular Valentine's Days! I am truly blessed!

I'm Getting Married!!!!

After so many years, I have finally found the most wonderful man!!!

And we are getting married THIS Saturday!!!

Can you tell I'm excited?!

Luke is so gentle and kind- and he's a total nerd too- just like me! We have so much in common in our lives that it is a miracle that we have not met before now. But the Lord knew what we both needed in our lives and has blessed us so greatly!

And here's hoping the party will work on the day I want in the place I want...

But did I mention? I'm getting married!!!

Surrounded by Wonderful!

Woke this morning at 5 AM to have family prayers and bid farewell to my two youngest kiddos as they set off on a temple trip! Yes, my kids are the absolute best! They are hoping to visit three of the LDS temples in the state this weekend in their goal of visiting all of the LDS temples in Utah before April... I am so proud of their decisions surrounding their missions!

This was on my counter when I arrived home yesterday!

With all of my dating and now my imminent marriage, I have turned to my little sis for advice... she has a fabulous marriage, and I want one just like hers (only best for me) when I grow up! She recommended that I explain some of my thoughts and feelings to Luke a while back...

He has come through and then some!!! He is getting so good at helping me when I'm down and re-directing my thoughts to what is good in life. I am so thankful for him!

And, as today is my wonderful mother's birthday, I must say that I know she would like Luke so very much! I would not be at all surprised to find out that she had a heavenly hand in helping me to find this man that is so good for me!

Plus he is the best example! I came home from a rough time at attendance school on Saturday to these:

 from Jon!

So grateful that he has such a wonderful example like Luke in his life now too!

I am definitely surrounded by so many wonderful things!!!
