M & K

So I realize that it's been FOREVER since I last wrote.
I guess not much is new. But I realize that I have a LOT of friends that are married and expecting. The list gets longer every day. I just found out a few minutes ago that yet another friend is pregnant.
I bet y'all are probably tired of seeing me write about marriage but.... here's another post about it.
I'm single and for the moment content with that status. But my desire to marry in the temple and raise an eternal family grows every day. I see how kids grow at work and every day I fall in love with preschoolers all over again. I see how happy couples in family wards are because of the vows they have made to each other and to Heavenly Father. I want that.
I'm watching 4 children in my family ward. Their parents went to attend the wedding of a sibling so I get to play Mom for a week. Being in that house and playing that role makes me excited for what I know is coming. Spending my nights in the master bedroom is scary. I know I'm safe and that the kids are safe but it would be so much better to have an eternal companion, but my time has not yet come. And the kids love to talk and interact with me, although the youngest is already 6. This experience makes me excited. I know I can fill this role when my time comes. Of course, the marriage will only start with the two of us, there will be no 6-year-old but someday there will be. And that excites me.
