My Most Favorite Person

MR. WILKEY


Jon is my rock. He is such an amazing guy and I am so lucky to be married to him for all time and eternity. Geesh, and he is such a stud! Sometimes (who am I kidding?...that sometimes should be changed to Daily!) when we are together at our cute little apartment, I find myself checking him out and I think to myself, "how in the world did I get so lucky?" But seriously...how did I get so lucky? Jon is so loving and kind - he always know how to make me smile and laugh. And oh boy, does he make me laugh. He is the funniest, wittiest, and smartest guy that I know. I sure do love my life with him. He has such a strong testimony and he is so willing to serve and help those around him. He is the most selfless person that I know. Everyday I strive to become more like Jon. He is in no means perfect - but he is the perfect person for me. He is my best friend and I could not imagine life without him. Sorry for the sappy post, but I am so incredibly thankful to have this man by my side each and everyday.

A Good Reminder...

"Things work out, it isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out, don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in him, if we will pray to him, if we will live worthy of his blessings, he will hear our prayers.” -Gordon b. Hinckley

This quote seems to always pop up at different places right when I need it the most. It is such a great reminder. I can get so down on life and I sometimes feel like things are not going to work out, but then I read little reminders like this and I pray to my Heavenly Father and I am always filled with the spirit and I am comforted. I know that everything will work out how it is supposed to and when it is supposed to. And I know that I have a loving Heavenly Father who knows and loves me - everything will work out according to his plan. 

I know that he wants all of his children to be happy, more importantly, I know that he wants me to be happy. Life can be so hard and discouraging. It can be so easy to worry and feel uneasy about life, but I know that when I pray to my Heavenly Father, put my trust in him, and live worthily he hears me and helps me out each and everyday. 

I don't mean to be a downer, but life can be challenging and I think this is a good reminder for everyone. If you know me, you would probably think that I am generally a very happy person, but everyone gets down every now and then! Nobody is perfect! :) 

Even though my life can be hard and challenging, I have been trying so hard to look at the positives in all things and it has blessed my life tremendously. I know that if I do my best and rely on my Heavenly Father that everything will work out!
