Been busy


When I was a youngin my older sister would tease me and say, "You're going to grow up, go to BYU Hawaii, marry a beautiful Polynesian man and give me beautiful brown nieces and nephews". Check check and CHECK! I have no idea what made her fabricate such hopes for me, and there were times I was no where near this path whatsoever. But look at me now. These past 3 years have been pretty productive to meeting my sisters expectations. 

3 years ago at this time I was balling my eyes out because I was scared to wake up the next morning and go back to the temple where I would be sealed for time and eternity to my partner in crime. I wasn't nervous about marrying him, (although I probably should have been) but more so I was nervous to go back to the temple after my first go prior that evening. My first session kinda rocked my world. Poor D thought I didn't want to marry him haha. But I made it back and we did it. 

3 years ago tomorrow we were told that the feeling we felt that day, that what we thought was "love", would go away. Romantic right? Love has to be learned and cultivated. Do work son. And it is work. Hard. But I never knew what that meant before in the thick of it, that marriage is hard. I don't even know how to explain it to someone not married... You just have to do it to feel it. And you'll feel it ALL. The emotions such a bond plays on is crazy. 

I married him because I wanted to. It was solely selfish reasoning. I want to be with him I want to build with him and I want to become great with him! 

So 3 years and two beautiful kids later here we are. I've been pregnant for about 1/2 our marriage... Haha life's  been busy and  time has been warped. Cheers for eternity! Love loving my husband.
