21 Years young.
1 Eternal Companion
3 Perfect Children
Sealed. Blessed.
Doesn't it sound like the perfect life? Sure does, but under a microscope everyone has something that is not so perfect. We all have flaws and we all have trials.
What do I say about my trials? Let me share what I have been through and how you can face these things head on.
I was born on April 1st (worst birthday ever if you ask me) I have zero pictures of this day, however I imagine that I was a perfect little being as all newborns are. I was not raised in the typical way
that most children are. Well these days they are. My dad and mom split up when I was four and I remember every second of the fight and I actually remember the color of his suit case, comparable to the same green I find in my children's diapers. After that it was step dad after step dad.
To put it simple I have been physically, mentally and sexually abused.
There was a time in my life that I had no where to go nothing to turn to and about that time
I came across the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Just in case you are wondering that is my eternal companion <3 yeah I am
just as excited as you.
This is December 6, 2008 (in Florida as you can tell)
This was such a great day in my life. However shortly after being baptized I found out that I had been expecting my first child this whole time. So actually two were baptized on this day.
She is the glue that holds our family together. She is one of the strongest person I know.
My husband and I were married on Nov. 1st, 2010 we had a civil marriage.
Those words to Death do you part and the saddest words ever. It is so hard to imagine that I eventually we would be separated. From this point on we had one goal in mind. To be sealed for time and all eternity. Which we did !!!
December 17, 2011 was one of the best days of my life.
We are getting ahead of ourselves, in between the marriage and sealing was a blessing that we cherish deeply, Mr. Bentley Brent!
This little stud cupcake (hubby is the stud muffin) has filled our lives with much joy and happiness, he really has been such a blessing in our lives. He has also made us realize exactly how fast this life goes by and how important it is to be the line in the sand between our children and evil.
This is our family picture after being sealed. What a great blessing it is to finally be sealed. They looked so amazing coming in there all reverent and dressed in white (which never ever happens).
I started school in Iowa and I am working towards my Associates in Applied Sciences. I do my externship this fall!
Recently we had our third child, Camryn Belle Weston.
This picture is probably one of my most tear jerking pictures I have.
Let me explain.
Behind that blue curtain is of course me, but also my husband.
We are both in tears to hear our brand new baby girl.
This is our first view of her, but more important that most people would not realize,
is the guy showing her to us who assisted in this surgery is my Father-in-Law.
He actually helped pull her out and I can remember looking over to see her and seeing her
and realizing that holding my precious child through her first cries is my Father-in-Law.
At this moment as I looked at our child, my Father-in-Law and my Husband is that we are already sealed. What a great experience it was.
I have been so blessed in this life. I am so excited to see how our lives unfold!
Oh and I cannot forget our rescue Loki...
That's my intro to my family <3
And what a beautiful family it is!!
