Marrage...

NO!! I am not getting married... But, as i think about all my friends that are happily married, I can't help but think of the things that i want to change about my self, and the things that i want in a husband. Now, to those of you that really know me, i am probably set in my ways to ever get married, but as i had a conversation with a girl i know here, i decided that things have to change!! As i drove to and from a fireside last week this girl (who is not little miss socal butterfly) decided to drill me on what exactly it is that i want in a husband, and how i think it will happen for me, and on and on...It was interesting to say the least! So, she asked me if i felt inspired to change things, I told her, "Yes, but not in the way that you think." I said. "I don't think or expect to change who i am to please anyone, but i do feel that there are things that i could be dong to help me a long."
I am not talking about anything drastic. I have been thinking lately about the things that i want for my future family. Little things like scripture study and daily prayers, to name a few. I have decided also that my prayers need to change... So that i am not praying that he (the "one") will find me but that i will be in the right place at the right time, and be doing the things that will help me to attract the right kind of people. I don't know why it took a move to Texas to change my perspective, but please keep praying for me to do those things that i need to to be the kind of wife and mother that i long to be, and that all of you, have shown me how to be.
Thank you to all of you that are better wives and mothers than i think i ever will be!! I am grateful for your sleepless nights with babies. Your tears shed wondering if he really likes you for you and the time spent preparing to go to the temple. SO... keep being my cheerleader and i will never stop being yours!! I hope that this helps us all remember why you fell in love, and that it is very simple to keep loving.

My life is an adventure!

So, to update, i am now officially in Texas!! I love it!!  But, as the title states, my life is an adventure.  It took us about 18 and a half hours to get here...after a little detoursome where outside Dallas for gas, and that was fun!  I finally got my house where i want it and things look good.  I was ready to greet my roommate Kathy, then she texts me and says that she got offered a management job...crap!  So, i go to work...(after a long weekend of worries weather or not i have a job, with many tears, phone calls, and prayers and fasting later) And ask if anyone is looking for a place to live?  This cute girl says yes... I have everything ready, she can move in anytime, she doesn't smoke, drink, or even have sex... I get to work today and she tells me that her mom doesn't want her to move out, cause she has 6 sibs, and her dad is in Iraq and how could she possibly take care of all her sibs...so, now i don't have a roommate AGAIN!!! for the second time in two weeks... so all of you pray that i can find a roommate (hopefully the eternal kind) or some way to pay the rent.  I know that i am in the right place, i pray that the Lord will help me find a way out of my adventurous life.   Oh, and not to mention that the kitchen here at the OG, is NOTHING compared to what it was in Illinois.  So, i haven't been able to get spaghetti out in less than 20 mins...and it only takes 2 mins. to cook!!!  And, my oven doesn't work so i have to guess what temperature it is at, and then watch it like i am cooking with fire.... It is not fun, but it is my life!!
