Since I last posted, lots that needs to be updated!

Well, lets all admit there has been LOTS that has happened since i last posted from christmas of last year. Mark passed BOTH his sections of he National Board Exam the arts and science's, it was SUCH a relieve for him and he was so excited afterwards! Also of course after we got engaged we started doing wedding plans, thankfully for those around me i thought i had SOME WHAT of it planned; but nothing as much as i thought. I presented it all to my mom what i have and she starts asking me all these questions and bringing in other options instead of the ones i had. there is so much that goes into a wedding! but i was so happy to have the support of my family and friends and my mom and sister who helped me and kept me sane through the whole process. and somehow in the end we made it all happen and i wouldnt change it for anything! With getting married in the temple, of course we each have to recieve our own endowments, and with mark previously going on a mission he had his already. So on March 17th i went through for myself and what an experience! I'll never forget those that were there for me, here in the mortal earth life and those on the other side, it was as well special to have mark there with me. I love going to the temple and am so proud to say i am worthy of the card in my wallet! It was nice to have my family there and go through with my parents and my sister, i couldn't stop crying, the spirit i felt there and the happiness my Father in Heaven had for me! I encourage all to go back as often as you can and remain worthy of the card in your wallet. Anyone who would like to go, i love going and thinks it would be fun to do a big date night there, whether its baptisms or endowments, initiontorys or sealings! But besides that nothing too much went on before the wedding, Mark and I continued to strengthen our relationship and soak everything in. I kept on working and mark was looking for a job but didnt have success till after the wedding but the Lord continued to bless us and watch after us. The next post ............... THE WEDDING !!
