"Our Father in Heaven has given us, His children, much more than any mortal mind can comprehend. Under His direction the Great Jehovah created this wonderous world we live in . God the Father watches over us, fills our hearts with breathtaking joy, brightens our darkest hours with blessed peace, distills upon our minds precious truths, shepherds us through times of distress, rejoices when we rejoice, and answers our righteous petitions." Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "The Love of God," Ensign, Nov. 2009

To Eternity and Beyond

paul ilene

Today marks ten years that we have been married.   I am so grateful that Heavenly Father led me to someone that I can share my life with and that shared the gospel with me.
How different my life would have been without him!
There are so many things that I love about Paul,
this list is only a few of them:
his smirk
the way he laughs when he’s telling a joke
the little songs that he teaches the kids
he calls me in the middle of the day just to see how things are going
how he plays with the kids
his passion about life
his patience with me 
the time that he spends with our family
his devotion to the gospel
his worthiness to hold the priesthood
the way he kisses me 
the way he is always there when I need him
his love of the temple and for marrying me there
This list could go on and on. I LOVE you to ETERNITY and beyond.
