Today

(Me waiting for the bus to pick me up)

Today I rode the bus. My car is acting up and so its at the doctor. I took it in yesterday and sat around for 2 hours for the mechanic to tell me he can't fix it. So today I went to plan B and took it to a transmission shop. Now I have no husband and sadly no car. I feel stranded and naked. I don't like that combination. I pray I get my car back so I can see my family on Saturday, go to the Temple, eat Colombian food, and get a haircut. After work today I will be getting a ride from a nice but interesting fella. My friend Amber is a sweetheart. She offered to give me a ride to work and I think I will be giving her a call.

What I am grateful for: public transportation, friends, my car and chocolate.

Sealing

Guess what Jon found?! Our Sealing Day pic's :) Jon and I were sealed for all time and eternity at the Orlando Florida Temple of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It was such a beautiful sunny day in Florida. We were surrounded by our dear friends and family. I loved it!!

I remember it being the brightest day outside. I love how everyone is squinting in all the pics!

Veronica is one of my dearest friends. She has one of the sweetest sons! She also took these pics on my sealing day.

We loved our game nights with the McMurray's! 

My sweet brother Andres got us the most beautiful framed picture of the Orlando Temple. 

It currently hangs in my living room and I hope to always have it! Thank you bro!

My Thoughts

 (me building a headboard and working on my mad building skills!)

Dear J,


I have never wanted my husband more than I do RIGHT now. He's my eternal partner. I wrote Jon an email asking for help. Help b/c I miss him so much it hurts. I no longer believe in soul mates. Because if I have a soul mate out there I would have to tell him, "sorry, I've already found my partner. His name is Mr. Boress."

Thank you Jon. Thank you for joining my church. I know for a fact that I would have given you up had you not believed in this Gospel. But I am so glad you opened your heart and believed. The best part was having witnessed your transformation.
I've never wanted you to change- I fell in love with you before you were a member, before you held the priesthood. I just knew for a fact, 100%, that your hangups would become lighter had you believed in Jesus Christ. I wanted you to have peace in your soul. I knew the only way you would get peace was to join the true Church of Jesus Christ.
So here we are. You are a priesthood holder. You are a beautiful man. I love you- I love who you were before and I love who you are now. But I can love you for eternity because of your faith. So yes, I want to thank you. Don't be stubborn and accept my sincerity. Accept the fact that I believe you to be a close replica of my dream man. You fill in the details I never dared imagine. I had my standards for my dream man. 1.) Priesthood holder 2.) great husband 3.) great father 4.) blue eyes (although I've accepted green) 5.) great smile, and the rest is fuzzie b/c you've filled in the rest. YOU, not anyone else. Just you my love. My partner. my eternal companion.

Love forever and ever,

"The bride of your youth."
