Marrying the Right Person!

When I think about marrying Mr. Right, I imagine how happy I will be in that moment, and, without sounding too cliché, what joy will fill my heart. I wonder how I will truly know that it’s him. Will it seem as though a spotlight is shining down on him? Have I met him already and just didn’t know it?

Let's be honest, we have all wondered about that special someone we will want to enjoy our life with. Once you have reached that point where you have dated someone long enough that you feel there is a good chance you are headed toward marriage, what are the right questions to ask?

Sometimes I think as young women we can get caught up in the glamour of the wedding and be so focused on the pictures that we want to put on social media that we overlook what to others may seem like obvious red-flags. 

I recognize that once you are married you have to become as one with your spouse. Each has to think as much or more about the other than they do for themselves. Our spouse’s needs should be a primary consideration. I believe that the first year of marriage is likely going to be one of the hardest because of the adjustments needed to live for the first time with a new companion. Problems will need to be worked out without waiting until it is too late.

BOYS AND GIRLS!!

At a young age I knew that boys were different. I just didn't want to be around them. They had their friends and I had mine. When it came to toys they had cars and I had dolls. They played sports and I took dance lessons. I didn't think that girls could do the same things has boys...that was just weird. Boys were gross to me. I could never see myself playing with them or with their toys.

Then I got to age where I started to play with them, their cars and doing sports. Part of me still thought boys were gross but they were also okay. I started thinking we could be friends but still thought they had cooties. I couldn't bring myself to think how I could ever like them more than a friend. They were way different then girls.

I guess that one day I woke up and thought to myself, I guess I have crush on a boy. That they weren't that gross. I wanted to be around them. I decided it was okay to like them, even though I still wanted to be around girls more. My group of girlfriends started wanting to hang around boys. We started wanting to do thing with them on the weekends. They were actually fun.

Now being in college most of the time I would rather be around boys rather than girls. I believe that it because they are different. They don't think the same way as me. I can do things that they can't. I don’t think that it is weird to have boys in the same major as me, even if I am a Child Development major. I just know that Heavenly Father made boys and girls...different and I’m cool with that.

Tradition in Families

What are your traditions that you have in your family? How long have they been in your family?

For my family some of the tradition that we have are at the being of the school year we get a father blessing. It's to help us through out the school year and to know how to deal with stress and problems that we may have. We try to do them the night before we go back to school. I have seen so many blessing in my own life from the blessing that I get at the being of the school year.

Another tradition we have is on Christmas Eve I help make sugar cookies for Santa with my little brothers help. We go out to eat for dinner, most of the time we go to a Mexican restaurant. After dinner we go look at Christmas lights. We some how end up looking at the same houses every year. When we get home we get to open one present that is under the tree. It always turns out to be pajamas! We all get into our pajamas and watch Mr. Krueger's Christmas and It's a wonderful life with James Stewart. We all go to bed and a wait for Santa to come!

Tradition can be a lot of things, What are you tradition in your family?
