So yesterday Chris and I were asked to speak about tender mercies of the Lord since we are new to the ward. It wasn't nearly as terrifying as I thought that it would be, but to my surprise I ended my talk by bearing my testimony and got a little choked up. I usually am a stone cold fish who doesn't show emotion. Apparently I just love Chris SOOO much.
The funny part about giving our talks was that the youth speaker who spoke before me went for about 5 minutes and then we sang and I spoke for about 5 min. That means that Chris had to speak for just a mere 30 MINUTES.. poor Chris. It was really nice speaking with him though! I have spoken in sacrament before and I was always super nervous and wanted to just run away but it was a lot more easier with my hubby by my side holding my hand reassuring me the whole way through. I am so grateful for him.
It was kinda fun because both Chris and my parents came and listened to us. It was nice having my parents in the audience giving me the thumbs up and smiling big at me:) sometimes I wish I wasn't an adult and I got to do little kiddy things all the time... I miss not having to wake up and having my parents just excuse my absence at school... those were the days...

- Christopher and I have been married since August 2010. We just moved into our first home, have a chocolate lab, and a little guy on the way.
"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.. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He 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."

Oh... we don't have to have our moms call to excuse us when we miss class anymore? :/
I wish I could have seen/listened to you guys.
I miss those days too! We are new in our ward too and I'm just dreading a phone call about speaking! I bet you did great!
you guys were both awesome! I can't believe Chris had to speak for 30 min. and he made it look easy.
yeah wouldn't it be nice if our husbands could call in and excuse us from life??
