The Best Two Years

Exactly two years ago at this exact time (well maybe not this exact moment!) I was baptised a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. When I went to the Draper Temple open house almost a year before I had the overcoming feeling that I would be baptised one day. Of course knowing me, I shrugged it off, knowing how my mom was about the subject. She was always supportive of course and I was grateful for that, but sitting there in church, being just another visitor was never good enough for me. I wanted more. I wanted to take the sacrament knowing that I was renewing my covenants with my Heavenly Father. I wanted my hand to count when I raised it to sustain someone in their calling. I wanted the chance to have a calling. I wanted to be a member. That day was better than I ever could have ever expected. I had to keep telling myself that it was for real and that it actually was happening. The little butterflys in my stomach told me that it wasn't just a dream. I wore this beautiful, long, white dress. I was surounded by the most important people in my life. My family, my friends, and my ward all helped me get to that glorious day when I got to become like my Savior Jesus Christ. So many amazing things have happened because of the choice that I made to get baptised. I got to be the Miamaid president for a year, I got to get my patriarchal blessing (dont know what I would do without that!), but the best part is that everyday I have the Holy Ghost with me to guide me through whatever life throws at me. That day gave me so much hope for the future about my family. That we might be able to be together forever. Now that defintely isn't happening, but I'm trying not to dwell on the bad. Because I have the chance to find a eternal companion. Some handsome prince charming that is able to take me to the temple where we can be sealed for all of eternity. Some people wonder why I'm so picky about the guys I like but I don't think they understand. I have to have a husband that is going to be worthy to give my babies blessings. That can take me to the temple often. That can lead our family with patience and love and understanding. Because I never had those things. And what I didn't get to have, I want for my children. Now all that there is to do is date and have fun. And make myself the best person possible for my future husband so i can be the best wifey ever (: Wonder what he's doing right now?? Maybe thinking about me? Lets hope so (:
