Well, based on the fact that this is the first post to ‘our’
blog that have contributed, it is probably apparent to you by now that I do
things at my own speed at to the beat of my own drum. You should be very appreciative that Holly
has done most of these posts because she ads many more details than I do. I give you the skeleton with a little skin
and she gives you a being dressed to the nines with jewelry, make-up and a
sweet smelling fragrance.
Without further adieu, I will touch on a few items. Holly has detailed things well so I may stick
a bit to the peripheral. Holly and
others have asked at what point I knew Holly was the one, or when I knew I
wanted to date her exclusive and sorry folks but that isn’t how I’m wired. I much more follow a natural slow progression
than some singularly defining moment. It just felt like the right time to date
exclusively and with a little encouragement from Holly it felt like the right
time to get engaged. Holly encourages me but she knows that if I get encouraged too
much I tend to back away, so she does well balancing that.
Holly is beautiful, funny, sweet and smart. What really won me over was that she treats
me better than anyone else has. The
point that we started talking seriously about marriage came after General Conference
weekend, which for me health-wise was awful.
I hadn’t been that sick for a while and she just patiently took care of
me all weekend. I wanted to get a priesthood blessing, but before I could
mention that, she was already across the street introducing herself to my
bishop whom she hadn’t met before and asked him to come over.
Holly has done so many considerate things for me. It’s hard to name them all; she irons my
shirts, helps me with all kinds of projects, she made me freezer meals; overall
she has been encouraging and uplifting.
When I left my mission many moon ago, the advice President Tveten gave
me what that I should get along with life with school and work and that along
the way pursue marriage and finding an eternal companion. She should be someone that in her presence I
do my noblest deeds and that being around her helps me want to do and be
better. Holly does that for me.
My least favorite phase in the English language is probably
“in due time” and I’ve heard mentioned a few times in blessings. It can be a frustrating phrase because in due
time could be today, could be tomorrow or could be in ten years. In reality all that phrase simply means is to
be patient. In regards to dating I was promised that in due time I meet my eternal
companion whom had honored the covenants that she had made with the Lord, and
that we would both choose to get married
in the temple, both of which is very important to me. Life as a bachelor has been fun, crazy,
awesome and frustrating at times, but Holly was definitely worth the wait!
