Im so so so happy!!!

Hey there everyone. Im sorry It has been so long since I have posted anything. Ashley and I have been so busy the past month or so, and we have had some amazing changes. We are now finally married, moved into our new apartment here in Provo, and I am going to school as she is now full-time in her nursing job. There are about a million things I could blog about right now, but I really want to just mention briefly something simple yet amazing to me. Now, as an old married man, one of my favorite things about being married is the fact that I wake up every morning with Ashley right next to me. It feels so amazing and so incredible, (beyond what any words could describe) to wake up and see a true sleeping beauty right next to me. I love Ashley with everything that I have, and I feel such a strong enduring happy feeling when I see her lying next to me. It's simple, yet something I have looked forward to for years. Ashley, thank you for being my wife. I love you.

Some of My Favorite Scriptures

Luke 1:37

For with God, nothing shall be impossible.

Alma 53:20-21

And they were all young men, and they were exceedingly valiant for courage, and also for strenght and activity; but behold, this was not all-they were men who were true at all tiumes in whatsoever thing they were entrusted.

Yea, they were men of truth and soberness, for they had been taught to keep the commandments of God, and to walk uprightly before him.

Alma 29:1

O that I were and angel, and could have the wish of mine heart, that I might bo forth and speak with the trump of God, with a voice to shake the earth, and cry repentance unto every people!

Alma 42:31

And now, O my son, ye are called of God to preach the word unto this people. And now, my son, go thy way, declare the word with truth and soberness, that thou mayest bring souls unto repentance, that thy great plan of mercy may have claim upon them. And may God grant unto you even according to my words. Amen.

Alma 48:17

Yea, verily, verily I say unto you, if all men had been, and were, and ever would be, like unto Moroni, behold, the very powers of hell would have been shaken forever; yea, the devil would never have power over the hearts of the children of men.

Doctrine and Covenants 27:15-18

Wherefore, lift up your hearts and rejoice, and gird up your loins, and take upon you my whole armor, that ye may be able to withstand the evil day, having done all, that ye may be able to stand.

Stand, therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, which I have sent mime angels to commit unto you.

Taking the shield of faith werewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked;

And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of my Spirit, which I will pour out upon you, and my word which I reveal unto you, and be agreed as touching all things whatsoever ye ask of me and be faithful until I come, and ye shall be caught up, that where I am ye shall be also. Amen.

Mosiah 2:41

And moreover, I would desire that ye should consider on the blessed and happy state of those that keep the commandments of God. For behold, they are blessed in all things, both temporal and spiritual; and if they hold out faithful to the end they are received into heaven, that thereby they may dwell with God in a state of neverending happiness. O remember, remember that these things are true; for the Lord God hath spoken it.
