Nothing new around here

Well, now that Valentines is over and we have all expressed our love for our spouses, let's remember to keep that going in our lives. I just want Erik to know how much I love him for all his support and love. I have a wonderful family and I am so proud of all they do and who they are becoming. I have a new calling in our ward, it is the Primary Chorister. I am enjoying it so much. The children are so full of life and are so eager to learn. I hope we can all be as eager to learn as they are. I am always looking for new help to teach the songs, so if you have any ideas let me know.

Love of my life

Thirty one years ago for Valentines Day I had the most exciting thing happen in my life. I received the best present a girl could have. That was a beautiful heart-shaped cookie with an engagement ring in it. I almost did not see the ring, but when the light hit that diamond the sparkle was a delight. Maybe I should start from the first. Erik and I had been dating just a few months and had never really talked about marriage, so a proposal was a surprise. From the moment I met Erik, I knew that I would spend my life with him. Unfortunately it took Erik a little longer to find this out. We have been happily married for nearly 31 years and it just seems to keep getting better every day. When we were married, the sealer in the Temple told us that our love for each other would increase each day. Of course when you are young and in love you can't imagine that it could possibly increase more, but it does!!!! Of course, like many others, we have had our struggles, but that is what makes your love increase. It is fun to remember times like these. If you read this blog, tell me about your engagement and finding the love of your life.
