There's much news on the family front! Alex and I are officially working on going to the temple in the next 6 months. I know I know, we've been "planning" for ages now, but due to sitautions outside of our control, it hasn't happened yet, but we have Heavenly Father's Blessing on this now, and I'm sure we'll make it this time!

Yesterday I didn't go out because Glen flaked on me, so I went to the park and spent the afternoon at the park with natasha, and I got some adorable pictures too :)

I will post those pictures very shortly but I also wanted to post about my husbands interest in the army. He's always had an interest in the army and decided against doing it after making the choice to marry me instead. But I promised him, and God to help him with his dreams as well as mine. I don't think it's fair for him to so lovingly support me, only to disregard his own desires. So he's looking at applying to the British Army Intelegence Core. He's a very analytical and scientifical/technical person and this is an oppertunity for schooling, security, and oppertunities it would otherwise be impossible for Alex to get into.

I feel ambivailent about the whole thing. Rationally, I know that going into the Int Corp means he will most likely not be in the heat of battle, I can't stop my prejuidice against the army make me dislike it. At the same time, I really really want and will support my husband in the decisions we make for our family. As it is, with alex's new promotion he may doss it off after doing that for the next six months. The one thing we're decided on is that we need to be sealed in the temple before he tries for the army. We also have decided to seek an answer with God with this and work out all the practical implications it means. I would rather alex took this oppertunity than hit 30 yrs old and always wonder "What if?"

It makes me happy he values himself enough to approach me about his dreams and desires, and that we have such a close relationship. Our relationship has been so sweet lately it makes me cry thinking about it. We're so happy.
