A Letter to the Old Me

Dear Old Me,
I am a little confused as to what is going on. My bank card that once use to buy me all the wonderful things my heart desires, now buys groceries and pays bills. My high heels that use to once tear up the dance floor, now help to clean floors and other messy things. My body that I kept in shape was to strut my stuff for others, now is kept in shape for my husband. I once was able to come home at one or two in the morning or later, now I am home to have dinner on the table by six. Once night outs consisted of restaurants and other crazy places with crazy people,now consist of night ins with family (though I do love being with my family). Knowing what the latest issues are going on on the hills is now knowing whats going on with the family, and planning my whole social week is now planning when bills must be paid and who to go see and what to do. WHAT HAPPENED!!!!!!!!!!!!!
For some odd reason I am in mourning of my old life. I do the same things, and I am the same person but I seem to do them in a more meaningful form. Lately I have been feeling very very sad. I am not one that takes change easily. For me it is extremely hard!
I made the best decision I ever could of made by marrying my husband. I made a very very very good decision, and I have been richly blessed. So why do I feel sad?
I finally came across a talk that pulled me out of my sadness. It was a message in the ensign by Elder Steven E. Snow called Get On With Our Lives. It saved me. It helped me come to an understand that change is so good and it is part of Heavenly Fathers Plan.
Marrying the love of my life has helped me to become a milestone closer to who I am to become, and I am so very grateful.
So to the old me. I will always have wonderful memories but I look forward to the many more I will have as my life goes on.
I will still be me, but with each year that comes I will become a better me.
With all my love,
Me

FAMILY

I have always been one that enjoys being with my family. If I had it my way I would buy big plot of land and have all of my family live on it. This weekend was Easter another time for family to be together. At the end of the Easter egg hunt I had to leave for a friends baby shower. It was fun seeing those I have not seen in sometime. Laughing about all the stupid fun things we did and all drama we went through with each other. As much fun as that was I missed being with my family. I knew back at the house everyone was having fun, and I was having fun but it wasn't the same. When I got married I gained a ton of more family that I love, its so wonderful that I can invite my side and my husbands side and bring them together and there is no drama or weirdness. How blessed I am. My mother always told me that family is the most important thing in this life. They are the only people that stand by us no matter what the circumstances. I am so grateful for my family. I truly believe God gives us families so we can weather any storm. I feel sad for those that are not as fortunate as I am to have the loved ones I do. Thank you to all my family for a wonderful Easter. I love you all so much.
