it was only a matter of time......

we have been here for 6 weeks now. it was only a matter of time until we would have to speak in our new ward. we are speaking this sunday on faith. i am grateful for the opportunity to speak. i am feed spiritually and am learning more about faith. it has been a good experience for us, so far, living on our own and relying on the Lord. we have made it a goal to pray and read the scriptures every night and i give an F.H.E. lesson every Monday night. We have noticed what these three small steps have made in our marriage already. we have better attitudes. we are more up lifted and we hardly ever argue.....i mean i can't remember when the last time was. we are trying NOW to make a habit of these things before our baby boy comes.

I am really excited for our progress.



but as for now....i am feeling a little this way about speaking in public!

haha i love this pic. no worries, it is a right of passage, it will be over soon! And Faith? that is an easy topic. you are gonna rock it.

i swear having a strong marriage is about doing the little things... why is that so easy to forget?

Haha I can totally relate!! We had to speak in church the weekend you guys left and it was very nerve raking! I had never spoke in church before. But it turned out good and overall was a great experience for me. Love you!

I'm so glad you are reading scriptures every night! Uncle Frank and I have a testimony of that...it will literally change/save your marriage when times get tough. So proud of you and what you guys are doing together to prepare for your family. You are going to be awesome parents! ; )
