Divine Design

My mind has been on fathers so much lately, for numerous reasons, but the most important is that I am so totally in love with the man that will be the father of our children.

Cal and I have been filling out plenty of paperwork lately. All of our 'free' time is spent on trying to help us get to the point of parenthood. Parenthood is something that we will cherish, with all of our hearts.

I can't wait to see Cal be a Dad. I can't wait to see him with our children. I can't wait to see him honor his Priesthood by fulfilling his Divine role as the Father of our children.

Today at church, I was once again reminded of the part in The Family: A Proclamation to the World that talks about Fathers, it says;

'By divine design, fathers are to preside over their families in love and righteousness and are responsible to provide the necessities of life and protection for their families.'

What an awesome priveledge.

I have also really been reflecting on the teachings and love of my own Father.

After dinner with my family, we all got to sit together and honor my Dad. What an honor to be his daughter, and what an honor to have learned from him. I am grateful every day that he is my Dad, and that I am his daughter.

It is only by Divine Design that Heavenly father would 'lend us his children', as my dad said today, so that we could teach them the Gospel, protect them, cherish them, and love them. It will be so neat to be able to experience that, and watch Cal be a father.

He will be the best father!

Everyday I am grateful for the divine design that is fathers.

These Guys...

Moved to Illinois.

Cal and I are really, really sad.

Corey is getting his Master's Degree there.

It is a hard thing to know that your two most adorable nephews are going to be far far, or as Jack put it 'too far', away.



I will really miss Ash. Like really, really, a lot!

Although we are sad, we are so totally excited for them too.

What an adventure.

We miss them already!
