I guess my heart and spirit are overflowing. for the last week and a half everything and anything that touches me in one way or another. Seeing my baby brother get married, I thought of my wedding and how much I loved my new husband and was so happy and proud that he had cared enough to make sure that he and I were together for eternity. It is my prayer that time flies and soon my baby brother and his new and beautiful wife will have forever as well.
I have found so many of the people I knew long ago on Facebook. As I have reconnected with some of them, I realized that high school, though I would never want to repeat it or the things I did, was a very necessary step in my life and the connections I made were for life not just the moment. My best friend who stuck by me no matter what I did, even when her parents were not impressed with me, never gave up on me. We WILL be best friends till we are old and grey, I believe even if I haddn't married into the family.
I have even been remebering first loves that taught me how to love, why we love, and even when we love. Though he may be gone from my life, and this life. I will forever remember those lessons that make it so much easier to love my eternal commpanion. Yes the love I have for the first is still there. the love for the eternal is deeper and stronger. Even in fights there is no doubt about where I belong.
have been asked this week if I am happy where I am. Not in location but if I am happy with where I am in my life. I can honestly from the bottom of my heart say yes I am. I love my children, I love my husband, I love this land that we live in, and mostly I love knowing that this is all eternal, neverending. I love knoing that my savior loves me more that I will ever be able to comprehend. I love the book of mormon and the lessons I learn there. I am truly happy.

We must have be breathing the same air lately. I've been waxing all nostalgic, too; thinking about my relationships with various people who have touched my life here and there and remembering vignettes from my childhood. And you know what? I've come to the conclusion that I've had a pretty darned good life. None of the setbacks and tragedies I experienced were permanent and all of them have made the joys that much sweeter. (I hope all the nostalgia and tripping down Memory Lane doesn't mean I'm going to die anytime soon!)
don't say that or I am in trouble too.
