Happiest Day.

So... it has been awhile. Yep. Try a solid 10 months.
Life kind of happened, in the most unexpected, exciting way.
Do you remember that one time I started doing the challenge of 50 First Dates?
Some of you may know that I started dating a boy I met doing the 50 First Dates. You can read all about our first date {here}

I never, ever, ever would have thought that this   is the boy that I would end up with.

But Heavenly Father has a way of adjusting and tweaking our plans, don't get me wrong He likes us to make plans and have goals. But the big man always knows what is best and he will lead us down that path.

I have been fortunate enough, to date this guy for well over a year. Our first date was in May of 2012, I think that is when we started dating.. he begs to differ, he would say it was when we "officially" started dating, in September of that same year. 

Regardless of the amount of time, my heart is oh so happy that we did take that time to get to know each other. We have been through a ton and have been on so so many adventures together.

Some health scares (on my part)

Now I get to call this guy mine forever. I love him with a different kind of love, I didn't know I was capable of. It is an unconditional kind of love and I know that is returned 100-fold. I am so blessed to have him in my life, he makes me better, he knows me way to well, and he is my best friend.

So in just a few short weeks. I am going to change my name. And I couldn't be happier.

I am seriously, one lucky girl.

Advice

I just wanted too share this message, my cousin and my sister both posted it on facebook.  So I decided to watch it because both girls are extremely spiritual and amazing examples to me of being Christlike and excelling in the Gospel. 
This devotional brought me too tears and I was filled with the Spirit, I hope that anyone struggling with anything in life watches this and feels the same comfort I did.  I am so blessed and grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I know I have my struggles.. I sometimes lack faith and question why this is happening too me.  But my Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost confirm too me yet again, how everything works out and how truly blessed I am.
