Romance on campus

Jeremiah and I have been married for almost 4 years. Our anniversary is October 1st and this is how we met. Brigham Young University-Idaho is often referred to as BYU-I do and for a good reason. Jeremiah and I briefly met at the Latin Association in June 2010 but it was a game that brought us to meet again. That day at the Latin association we played a game called the "murder spoon game". We each had a spoon with our name on it and we put it in a hat and the hat went around and we each picked a spoon with someones name on it. Our job was to take that spoon home and during the week find the person who's name was on the spoon and steal the spoon the other person had and who ever had the most spoons by the next meeting was suppose to win the game. I honestly forgot about the game and just kinda shoved the spoon I got in my backpack. A few days after the meeting. Jeremiah came knocking on my door. When I saw him at the door I thought he was looking for one of my room mates but he was actually looking for me. In fact, he had found my address at the school directory. Kinda creepy at first but super sweet now that I look back:) We chatted for a while outside my door and at the end of the chat he asked me out on a date. He didn't even mention that he was there because of the spoon. After that day, things moved very quickly between the two of us. It took only a few weeks for us to fall in love and only a couple months for him to propose and we were married on October 1st 2010.

Kindness is the answer

            I read an article today about a study that was done by various social scientists at the University of Washington. The article states that SCIENCE has found that   lasting   marital relationships come down to   kindness   and   generosity .   The article caught my attention because of the simplicity of the behavior of being kind. I was expecting perhaps an article about how it is essential to have good chemistry, compatibility, shared interests... Things that I have heard from those around me that are apparently key for a successful marriage… Kindness though? I mean this is just a basic behavior that I try to teach my toddlers. My question at first was, how is kindness supposed to be an answer to a successful marriage? That's when I continued to read...  The article starts out by repeating the well-known distressing statistic of how the majority of marriages fail, with only 3 in 10 surviving. Statisti...

Come, Follow Me

So I know it's been a while since I've written a post but I wanted to write a post about the new Come, Follow Me program. First I want to admit that I was a little daunted by the 2 hour block change for 2019, but this was mostly because I could feel the huge responsibility that was being placed upon us as parent's to make the home the center of gospel learning. Specially upon mothers. I actually started to think about this as early as during the relief society general conference. President Henry B. Eyring's actually stated Part of the Lord’s current sharing of knowledge relates to accelerating His pouring out eternal truth on the heads and into the hearts of His people. He has made clear that the daughters of Heavenly Father will play a primary role in that miraculous acceleration. One evidence of the miracle is His leading His living prophet to put far greater emphasis on gospel instruction in the home and within the family. You might ask, “How does that make f...

Before I start my blog post on how much I love subscribe and save I just want to apologize for not writing a new post in a really long time. I know I said I would try to write every week, but with the holidays, and my trip to Idaho, and the pregnancy and the children... yeah I just haven't had the time or the energy to do it.  I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season so far. I had the opportunity to spend thanksgiving in Rexburg, Idaho with my sister, her family and my mom and it was fantastic. I decided to stay in Rexburg after thanksgiving break and I ended up staying there for like a month. Although I missed my husband a lot, I enjoyed being able to bond with my sister and the opportunity my boys had to bond with their cousins. Family time is always important.
