Those little moments...

Today Sam and I went to one of his cousin's mission farewell. I'm gonna be honest, when he was up there talking about missionary work, it brought me back to when I was preparing for a mission and I starting having thoughts about how cool that'd would've been for me or how it could've been such a neat experience.

But then I had a moment and looked over to Sam and my thoughts all changed. 

I starting getting emotional thinking  about all the happiness he will and has brought to my life. He is the man that I will be sealed to in the temple, where we will make promises and covenants together. He stands for so much truth and righteousness. I know that he is going to accept the role as a provider and patriarch in our home. I love him. I feel so blessed to have been able to grow and share so much with him.

Then I had another moment that comforted me. At the end of his talk he was telling us how everyone has that one  place they dream of going to serve their mission. I leaned over and asked Sam 'Where did you really wanna serve??' He said 'Africa or Australia.' And I told him 'Well that is where we can go one day to serve our missions together as a couple' He smiled and agreed. 

I know that all my experiences in life have made me a wiser, smarter young lady and they all have led me to Sam. Being sealed to him will be the best thing ever. For time and all of eternity.
