Today was an emotional day.
Tyler got released as young men's president..
Moving to Arizona for a little while was a really hard choice to make...because he knew that he would be released. Even with the near 80 degree temps...the thought of him no longer working with the young men had me thinking twice.
In the end...the best thing for our family, was to be together. And, the best thing for the boys is stability.
Working with "his boys" ( as lyn calls them) has been an amazing expirience for Tyler. He has grown, a lot. He's developed close relationships with the boys, and the ward, in general.
As I raised my hand to the square, at the releasing of my husband , and then the calling of a new president, I felt a change of stewardship. I really did.. the spirit made manifest to me, that this was right, what the Lord wanted. It was sad, but amazing, all at once.
Tyler had the chance to bear his testimony. And.... Well, I am just super proud to be his wife, and partner. He's an amazing man, truly. He's is the most, capable, hard working person I have ever known. And his testimony is strong.
I never, in a million years, thought I would get to spend this life, and eternity with someone like Tyler.
Sometimes, I take this guy for granted. I forget, that normal people make huge financial sacrifices when they hear a strange noise from their car.. or that they drop serious cash on furniture (he just builds mine) or struggle to find employment.. or struggle making friends..or struggle being involved, or dread a clogged drain, frozen pipes, a heater that isn't running, a ceiling fan to install, a backsplash to tile, a key locked in your car, a broken down...anything, a bunch of random ingredients and a meal to prepare.. . the list can
l i t e r a l l y go on and on...and on and on. I mean, have you ever seen him back up a ginormous trailer? Or how about completely take apart an entire tractor engine....and then put it back together? What about building an amzing chalkboard frame in 13 degrees? Homemade cinnamon rolls? Install cruise control into a car? Create a bathroom, out of a closet? Deliver a baby? High kick? Clog to Justin bieber in my kitchen???? Ha ha okay, I will stop. (He really can clog though.)
He's my man.
And I love him.
Sorry for the love fest...I didn't know I wanted to do that...it just happened.
