Exciting News..

Like I said before January seemed to last forever but February flew by! Not much happened in February except valentines day which Chad brought me roses and made me a beautiful candle light dinner!! I love gifts like that much more than jewelry or materialistic things. 

Anyway, The most exciting part of the month was this past weekend! Chad's sister Ashleigh and her husband Justin flew in and stayed the weekend with us. It was so awesome having them here since I've been missing family so so much lately! The most exciting part was that they actually flew in for my baptism. On Saturday March 1st 2014, I was baptized and became part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have been meeting with the missionaries for quiet some time now and have learned and grown with my faith so much. I feel that this decision has brought Chad and I closer to God than ever before. I love that we go to church together, sit with the missionaries and learn, and read scriptures together. We are so much happier now that we have put God first in our lives. I was so grateful to have Ashleigh and Justin here with us to share this experience. They are an amazing influence in our lives and it meant so much that they could be here. I was also so excited to have them meet all of our friends we've made here and everyone loved meeting them as well! We had a great night talking for a few hours and getting to know everyone. It was so great having so many people come and show their support. We really have made some great friends here! 

These are our awesome missionaries. They are great guys

and always make us laugh. Not to mention Chad's favorite basketball buddies!

Might have been a slow month but we have had a great weekend! So excited for everything to come! This is the beginning of a new chapter in my life and I couldn't be more excited and grateful.
