A Tribute of sorts....

I love Fall.

I love it.

It restores my Spirit.

It fills me with delicious food

and happy memories.

It reminds me of so many happy things.

Like:

carving pumpkins.

Putting our Chrismas tree up on Veterans Day.

Playing outside(c'mon it was still 80 degrees)

Visiting the snow.

Singing songs.

The cinnamon smell from the kitchen

Being together because the whole family was home.

.

Now some have tried to intrude on my love affair with the fall.

But to no avail:

When we moved to Nebraska

Ms. Pierce,(the associate dean),

sat the students down

and informed them that

if they were in a relationship,

Law School would ruin it.

In addition, that they would

be emotionally dead to their spouses.

They would still need the support they would be

incapable of offering.

Ahhhh, Ms. Pierce,

The FALL comes every year.
You will not succeed at ruining my

ETERNAL MARRIAGE

a bond so strong that
not even Law School
has a chance of ruining it.

David

has been my

eternal companion for

almost 5 years.

It all started in The Fall

falling in love.

An amazing first date

The perfect first kiss

receiving

"Yes,"

as an answer .

Fall

reminds me that my

lifelong prayers and faith

about getting married

in the temple

were answered

by a loving Father in Heaven.

I love THIS new song.

It offers me

the Fall

everyday.

I am certain that it was the

prayers and faith

of my parents

that helped me

make it through life to find

David

I am certain it was the

prayers and faith

of David's parents

that helped him

make it through life to find

Me

I am certain it was the

prayers and faith

of a little five year old girl

who worried that no one would

marry a diabetic

or

love someone if they couldn't have kids

(interesting I had that fear 23 years ago)

that helped her

make it through

and find

Eternity.

and be blessed with her lifelong dream

of being

a

Wife and a Mommy.

I am certain it is the

prayers and faith

of my Sweetheart that help me

through :

infertility

depression

adopting Henry

potty-training Lincoln (still working on that)

and Law School.

and those same prayers and faith

the make me:

laugh daily

pray often

AND

love forever.

Thanks Fall

for reminding me to

say a prayer

and have some faith.
