Well, let me start off by saying my name is Katie. My husband and I live in California. We were married in the St. George Utah temple on January 16, 2009.
Since becoming a wife, my eyes have been opened to many things; some old, some new, some exciting and some boring. The most important being that Heavenly Father is very much so aware of me. He knows what is going on, what struggles I am facing, the fears, hopes and dreams that swirl around inside my head. He understands them better than I do. I can always turn to Him no matter what time of day it is. I am so grateful for that!
I am so grateful for my family. My parents have taught me so much and have been so supportive. I have learned so much from the wonderful woman I call Mom. She is such an angel and wonderful example of how a woman of virtue should be. She is who I hope to become. My dad always showed how a great husband and father behaves. He loved, taught and guided us with a loving but stern hand. I am grateful for such a great dad. My siblings show what it is to be a friend to each other. and my nieces/nephews remind me what child-like faith is.
I am grateful for a husband that provides me with a home to live in, food to eat, clothes to wear, and a friend by my side always. I married into a family of loving and accepting people. Since the first time I met them, they have been supportive and friendly!
Over all, I've learned how many blessings I truly have. Life is hard and it is difficult to have faith when the road seems bleak and dismal, but there is sunshine in my life. I just have to choose not to stand in the shadows and enjoy the warmth of the sun on my skin.
I had the idea to start this blog when I was looking for ideas on an FHE. I thought that by sharing ideas that I come up with and that you share, this blog could become a well-visited site with lots to offer! I hope that as you visit and share ideas, it will help to strengthen your marriage, your family and your home.
Thanks for Visiting!

Good idea Katie. I have learned most, if not all of, what you learned. My favorite thing I have learned about relationships (taught to me by my sister) is that LOVE IS A VERB. Love isn't just a feeling for someone, hence why when that feeling goes away some people are ready to walk away. No, love is something you do. I love my husband by taking care of him because I know I love him, not just because I feel i love him.
ReplyDeleteI feel a difference in our relationship when we pray and when we read scriptures together. We have have tried to work out times that are better than others to read together so that we can make sure to do it.
I wouldn't say we're good about having scheduled FHE nights, but we are pretty good about having other couples over for snack and activity nights. lol With you guys and the other YMAs we're going to try doing the FHE once a month. Hopefully.
In general, married life is great. My husband is supportive of me always. He's my best friend with me always. I recognize that life is simple right now and we are just living the good life, but boy am I enjoying it while it lasts!
I can't say that we're great at having scheduled FHE's either. But when we do have them, they've been great. :) We love when we've been over at your house hanging with you guys, its such fun. We'd love to do it again sometime. Its hard to have people over here because its so small. We'd only be able to do a couple at a time! lol
ReplyDeleteThanks for checking the site out! It's a work in progress!
