Everything I Ever Wanted
Ever since I was a little girl I knew exactly what I wanted out of my life. I'm sure most little girls have this daydream in their heads. But I craved it. It was mostly all I could think about. I had a clear vision. I wanted to get married young. I wanted my husband that held the priesthood and would marry me in the temple. Making our marriage a bond that would last passed death, leading us into eternity hand in hand. I wanted to have kids young. I wanted to be a stay at home mother. I wanted to support my husband in his dreams and career.
Unfortunately as I got older the people my age started to find other dreams. Leaving mine to seem like an immature, unambitious, and silly dream. I often felt like something was wrong with me. It was hard for me to find friends around my junior and senior year. Everyone's views on marriage and what a woman should be was changing while I had this same dream that seemed so old fashioned.
When I graduated I wasn't sure if my dreams would come true. I wanted this dream more than anything. It was everything I wanted in life. Then I met my husband, Garrett. He was everything I wanted. He was very sure of himself. It was amazing how fast we fell in love. Then as we started to plan our lives together, I saw Garrett loved my dreams and wanted to support them as much as I wanted to support his dreams.
Today I stay at home. I am 66 days away from being a mother to a beautiful baby boy. I have an amazing husband who is a worthy priesthood. He took me to the temple where we were sealed for time and all eternity. He is going to school to become a mechanic. He works full-time and goes to school part-time. He works so hard and barely has time for himself. But he is sacrificing so much as an expression of love for me and this unborn child.
I love my husband so much because of what he has done for me. He has let me live my dream. I can't believe what he is doing. Not men are willing to do so much and live such an old-fashioned life. He has made my dreams come true. Including being one of them. God has also made all my dreams possible. He has given my husband a job that allowed me to stay home. Some may see my dream and think it's not fulfilling. But it is to me. I haven't been so happy in my life because of all that God gives to me. My life isn't perfect but it's perfect for me!
