These past few months have definatly been a challenge. In faith, love and life. Sometimes things don't work out the way you expect. Most the time they don't. Ever since we have moved things have been falling apart around us. In realizing this we both became stressed and life became harder and harder. Each challenge we have had has either brought us closer together or farther apart. It depended on how close we were to the gospel.

In 1 Nephi 14:1 it says "And it shall come to pass, that if the Gentiles shall harken unto the Lamb of God in that day that he shall manifest himself unto them in word, and also in power, in very deed, unto the taking away of their stumbling blocks." We all have stumbling blocks in life. Little things that sometimes we think we can never get over. "Because sometimes that mountain that you are climbing is only just a grain of sand." Without our Christ and his atonement we would not be able to make it back to be with our Father in Heaven again. To be with our eternal families. Satan will tempt us daily to give this notion up, that we can be eternal families. He will tempt us with large and small things but we have to fight. He has dug such 'a great pit' so he can drag us all down to be with him. He has no care for who we are as people, he only cares that he can get as many as he can.

In my life I have been tried and tested over and over again, each more challenging than the last. The only peace I have ever found in my life is the gospel. It may at times be hard to live but without the gospel it is harder to live and be eternally happy. We all struggle in our lives with something or another that we believe no one else could understand. Christ understands. If we turn to him with true faith and conviction in our hearts of the truth.. He will be there. If I have learned anything through all of this it has been the love of God.. No matter our choices he loves us more than we know.. My family has been so loving and supportive of me and my life. I love them so much.. Thank you for being with me and waiting.. The 2x4 methood came.. I'm glad it didn't come too late.. Before I lost everything that is important to me..

And Stewart thank you.. Words can't even began to express my love for you.. We can only get stronger from all of this.. You have given me everything and I can't even begin to start on where we are going in life.. But as long as we are together we will make it through anything.. Thank you for being there, for your support, your love, your forgivness... I love you so much...

Then lyrics By Brad Paisely

I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
but I thought I loved you then

Chorus

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea, stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

And i remember, taking you back to right where I first met you,
You were so surprised
There were people around, but I didn't care
Got down on one knee right there once again,
I thought I loved you then

Chorus

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea, stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

I could just see you, with a baby on the way
And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
And I thought I loved you then

And I thought I loved you then
