Hello Everyone, I have some things to announce and make public it’s taken me some time to come to this point in my life and it has not been easy by any means. As some of you know Bryce passed away a couple years ago, this was the hardest thing I had ever gone through by age 24 and not because I had an easy life. That day that Bryce had passed he said things to me that did not make sense until much later on. What he said what he did, Is very private to me and very view actually really know, but through taking care of Bryce I experienced things that I did not understand, feelings I could not explain at all. And things that I thought were impossible. And of course I being overly baring prideful and stubborn pushed it off just like it was a dream. I moved on from it, I kept finding myself in these weird situations after he passed things yet again I could not explain or even begin to comprehend. I switched areas at work for a better opportunity WOW WHAT A UNDERSTATEMENT THAT IS!!!! My “new boss” TOM HENRY he suggested a place to me to move when I sold my house and I come to find out I was in his ward, So naturally being the great guy he invited me to church, I told him no thanks and told him why how I had been treated before, He said Oh stevie my ward is AWESOME, and went on to tell me how he would have his wife Brandy sit with me to make me comfortable. I honestly did not believe him but my kids had been wanting to go so I got the address and time of church and I went for the first time in 13 years then missed a couple times he talked with me told me I needed consistency my children needed that consistency too, so I went every Sunday. Then keagean got converted then nick baptized my family was getting more weird events happening, and things yet again I couldn’t explain. I would talk to my boss about these he would then try to explain it. On March 17,2013 I had a talk with my bishop we talked about how I was sick of things, I think he tricked me at first, but he asked what I wanted in a man “husband” I told him first this second this he stopped me and was surprised he questioned it and asked if I knew what that meant. Of course I didn’t know what that meant, he told me, I was taken back thinking about it I through LOTS of excuses out, of why I couldn’t. Apparently I WAS WRONG!! Ha ha. I had made one of the most amazing decisions I will ever make on that day. And boy did it just roll right off my tongue like I actually knew what I was doing. I started on my new plan in life It was hard for me at first I couldn’t prepare enough for it then I gave up, Then someone special talked with me, a TRUE FRIEND Ammie Hammond. I don’t know if she knew I had given up or just had some urge to talk, this lifted me back up and I was back on that new life plan and this time is was so incredibly natural and easy like this was how it was truly meant for ME. Weeks later I choose to tell a couple people who popped my personal bubble. AS I kept getting closer to goals I had set I noticed little things I would talk to people about them they would explain I always went to more than one person with the same thing strangely THEY ALL GAVE THE SAME ANSWERS! My Boss Tom, Well he got diagnosed with cancer, advanced stage 4 Melanoma before tom found out he said a weird thing to me similar as to what Bryce had. Honestly this took me for a toll pretty big one, I found myself not being able to sleep not having an appetite just slumped low, like when Bryce had passed. It was testing me, trying to knock me off my path, man it got close at moments I won’t lie. I talked with a sibling rivalry coworker Clair Semrad a lot after tom’s diagnoses, he really helped me at moments keep my head afloat. Tom and I had a talk, I think he knows me too well and just could tell. After my talk with Tom I had this energy to push through it and keep going, that no matter what happened to us in this life we are all going to be okay. Now you know my leading up to parts, and a few of my struggles I will tell you, That day I had decided I was going to work towards going through the temple. I got my recommend to get my patriarchal blessing which is tomorrow, I got my temporary temple recommend and I have gone and done baptism’s for the dead Twice now. I also got my first calling, Along with my temple recommend and it’s all signed off. I have chosen a date that means something to me, it’s a significant date which oddly enough it works for everyone best. So in a short time I will be going through the temple. I can’t tell anyone how much this has brought to my life my children’s life. I have been so amazingly blessed and I am so lucky to have such an amazing support group even with battling cancer Tom is right there, my family does not know and neither do old friends and neighbors. This is my way of telling you all. Honestly if you don’t support it I am ok with it WHY because I know this is right I know it is what we are meant to do, along with I know that without this in my life I would not be walking taller, smiling bigger or as blessed as I am. I cannot express how truly humbled, Happy and at peace I feel from all of this. I AM THE HAPPIEST AND MOST AT HOME FEELING I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Ther are others that have been a big factor in this as well you know who you are. I want to thank everyone for helping me be stronger to get here to this amazing spot in my life. I have grown so much as a person a mother a co worker and a member.
