One Valentine's Day years ago... When I was 9 years old, I became a member of
"The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints".
I love that every Feb. 14th--- the day of love is linked to one of the happiest moments in my life. I'll never forget the feelings I felt that day, and the confirmation I received from the spirit that in fact this was His true church. This was years before my dad converted and we became an eternal family, in fact only my mom and I were members at the time and it was the beginning of many wonderful things to come.
Now, 19 years later..... I not only have been sealed for eternity to my parents and siblings, but have a beautiful family of my own!
I'm so grateful for those missionaries that taught me the gospel and prompted me to ask Heavenly Father if Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and if this was His true Church.... I knew it then and I still know now the answer given to me by the spirit... What a blessing this knowledge has been in my life and how this little act of courage has molded my character and changed the course of my life forever!
This year Valentine's Day was also special and this is why:
I got 12 beautiful red roses from my best friend along with a hand-written love letter.
Tommy has the hardest time holding secrets, so he couldn't wait till the 14th to give me my present, and on Sunday while we were having dinner at my mom's he surprised me with a brand new HP Desktop Computer.... I was in shock! Totally unexpected and maybe not the most romantic gift..., but it was the perfect addition to my new work area and I love it!
I made these Valentine's Day cards for Andy's friends at school.
Andy made us the sweetest Valentine's Day card.
It read:
"To Mom and Dad
My love for you is cooler than Iron Man hot toys, warmer than the sun.
Every time you smile it makes me feel like I am a star.
Love Andy"
Isn't that the cutest ever!
He also made these Cards for Sean, Ally, mom and dad.
We celebrated by going to the Olive Garden's and spending time as a family, telling each other how much we love one another and how happy we are to have a FAMILY that is forever!
