Count your many blessings..

so... i thought i would just take some time to count my blessings lately:) Everything right now seems to be going smoothly. We are down to ten days before the wedding and I am going through the temple on saturday! I cant believe this day in my life has already come! It is something i have worked towards my entire life! I have felt a bit unprepared lately and then this sunday was Stake Conference, and the main topic of focus was guess what??? (THE TEMPLE) yep.. And it was awesome and came at a perfect time in my life! I felt the spirit of the testimonies shared and then i set goals with my soon to be Husband of how often we would like to attend the temple together! We made it a goal to attend twice a month.. every other week and to try really hard to stick to that goal. :) I cant wait to be sealed in the temple for eternity to my best friend. We have grown so close these last couple weeks, and its just our relationship continues to deepen. It is absolutley wonderful to feel this way for someone, it is something i have never found or experienced before and hands down it is the best feeling in the world!

Huston has been really sick lately! The past three weeks, the first week he had a bit of the stomach flu and started feeling better, the second week his throat swelled up with no room to breath or swallow barely and in alot of pain.. near thanksgiving he was feeling better from that, however came home from lakeside to find a HUGE rash all over his entire body that just continueally got worse. He ran a high fever with the rash and itched really bad. Poor guy, it has just been one thing after another so he finally went to the ER and it turns out he has MONO..lucky me for already having had mono, i cant get it again so i have been able to be by his side through the whole thing... anyways he is finally feeling better. He is still really weak and tired, but is doing alot better. We were able to recieve our marriage liscense today and temple recommends which is making this all the more real! i just hope he continues to get well and not worse! This has also been another blessing because the rate he has began to feel better has been awesome, we have both really had to put our full faith and efforts into the lords hands as Huston has been out of work and we are supposed to be moving to Hawaii! It was really neat on Sunday too in his ward it was fast and testimony meeting, and i prayed silently that i really needed to hear his testimony. And within minutes he got up to bear his testimony in the meeting! I love and and am greatful to be marrying such a man to listen to the promptings of the holy ghost, and also that heavenly father knows our needs and blesses us through our faith! i have really learned this lately! i hope that Huston and i can continue to grow spiritually and always grow together in love and peace!:) I am greatful for the gospel and the blessings of the temple which i will get to enjoy soon! :) Thanks to everyone who has been an example and helped me get there!
