Protecting the Family

Lately, I have been very aware of how satan has been trying to attack the family.  I have seen so many different marriages fail or couples struggle so much with their relationship, not trusting each other or making bad decisions.  It has really had an effect on me.  Yesterday, I learned of a couple in my ward who had split up recently.  He has a girlfriend already and she is trying to take care of the kids.  I don't really know this couple very well but just learning that their family is no longer one, really had an effect on me.  I realized how much my family means to me.  How much my HUSBAND means to me.  It really is important that I put him before so many other insignificant things.  I know too many people who haven't been able to save their marriage and it just devastates me.  I am so motivated to stay close to my savior and doing whatever it takes to make our marriage work and to keep our family together.  I can not let myself get lax in showing affection or appreciation.  I can't allow myself to have relationships with other men, even the slightest.  If I justify one thing, how long will it take me to justify another and another?!  I guess the reason I am writing this is because it has scared me, and I want everyone to be aware that I am going to do everything I can do to keep what I have now, forever, and for even something better!

What you can reach, even if you don't know it!

Something kind of amazing happened this weekend!  First off, we were able to go to Todd's cousin's wedding at the St. George temple, which in itself was a beautiful most spiritual experience!  Afterwards, as we were hanging out and mingling with family members, I had a HUGE reality check!  It was such an uplifting day for me!  As soon as we started getting ready to take pictures as the wedding party, Todd's cousin turned to me and said, "Dang you and your stupid Game on Diet!"  I just kind of smiled at him and said, "What do you mean?"  He went on to tell me he has currently lost 37 lbs, and his blood sugar level is almost to normal.  I was so excited for him and asked him what I had to do with it, but then he told me because I had put up posts on Facebook about my progress and it peaked the interest of his wife, his family proceeded to do the Game on Diet and he obviously has been so successful in it!  I was so excited for him!  All throughout the day, I had people commenting on how "Good" I looked and that always makes me happy!  But then I had another family member who came up to me and told me of their success with the Game On and what not, just because they had seen it in action.  I am not claiming that I changed their lives, they changed their own lives.  But I was truly grateful that they told me how they have changed.  Lately, I haven't been posting as much just because my progress has slowed a little, but also because I didn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.  Also, I've had a slow in motivation.  It was such a tender mercy for me to know that even now, I am helping people to make their lives better.  Ultimately, that is my goal.  I am really so proud of these people and think they are going to do amazing things as they keep on going!  I hope that I can keep touching lives and helping people to reach their goals!

A few weeks ago, for FHE we decided to make these "Jellyfish" we found on Pinterest!  It was a fabulous meal that Lily could help us make and get into.  It was so much fun, super easy and apparently delicious.  I wasn't allowed any with my diet, but they looked pretty exciting!
