You're Gonna Miss This

There is a newer Country song that has come out recently that speaks directly to Kevin and me and our situation. It's by Trace Adkins, titled "You're Gonna Miss This". If you have the chance, listen to this song. These are the lyrics that especially speak to us:

"Before she knows it she's a brand new bride/In her one-bedroom apartment and her daddy stops by/ He tells her it's a nice place she says it'll do for now/ Starts talking about babies and buying a house/ And Daddy shakes his head and says baby just slow down

"Cause...

"You're gonna miss this
You're gonna want this back
You're gonna wish these days
Hadn't gone by so fast
These are some good times
So take a good look around
You may not know it now
But you're gonna miss this."

Kevin and I have been trying to start a family for four and a half years now. It's been rather hard for us. We want more than anything to have a family. We've come to a realization on our own, but I've had a friend tell me this also, that we are having this time to just be with each other...to enjoy each other. Not a lot of couples who have been married as long as we have can say that they've had this much time together by themselves (at least in Mormon families anyway). They're focused on their kids and find little time to actually spend just with each other. So we are being blessed; even if we see this as a trial. So when Kevin and I heard this song it brought tears to both of our eyes because it spoke truth to us. And even though we want a family more than anything in this world, we are really enjoying the time that we have with each other.

Quote of the Week

"We are often left to work out problems, without the dictation or specific direction of the Spirit. That is part of the experience we must have in mortality. Fortunately, we are never out of the Savior's sight, and if our judgement leads us to actions beyond the limits of what is permissible and if we are listening to the still small voice, the Lord will restrain us by the promptings of His Spirit." - Elder Dallin H. Oaks

"We don't have to be perfect today. We don't have to be better than someone else. All we have to do is to be the very best we can." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
