Devon and I from the age of 16, to 18, to our wedding day when we were 21.
Right now I should be on my way to work, but instead I decided I wanted to share something that I've been thinking about for a while. There are many reasons that I fell in love with my husband; the first and the second time. He was always charming, had the qualities that I loved, and I'm pretty positive he may be the nicest guy around. Well this semester has been such a busy one for us, but mostly him and his pure amazingness (I know it is not a word, but for now it is...) has shined through in everything he does. When we moved back to Rexburg in September we knew we'd be in for a busy semester but had no idea how busy. Devon has managed to keep his pre-med classes up, work, keep his bishopric calling busy, make it home 2 times for the loss of his mother, TA for his bio class, preside over the BYU-I Neuroscience Society and still be a perfect husband to his pregnant wife, and serve the Lord. Being so busy, I had no idea the blessings that would come to us. We've been able to meet new college students every monday night in our home, until I got too pregnant and grumpy to work and bake and entertain :(, we've been able to manage our time so we're still able to spend time together, complete multiple projects together, make a home for our soon to come baby and just learn to love and grow with each other. The last year and a half since Devon and I have been married has been an wonderful one, filled with joy and heartache at different points but the one thing that I have found that keeps us going is service, the temple, love, and the strength he has and constantly shows for our family. I love the Lord and I'm thankful for all the trials, busy schedules, and preparation that he has given our family, and each of us. I know that this semester was a busy one but I am thankful for all that I learned during it. How to be a better wife, prepare for being a mother, serve the Lord with all my heart, and many more. I know from this point on it will only get busier...so I guess all I can say at this point is, bring it on!
