Debi wrote a wonderful blog on the kind of girl she hopes her boys look for in a wife. Go check it out http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sacajaweasinging.blogspot.com%2F&h=DAQBsbK6XAQD_TxxgIpKnsKPtRmIioAoi7IUzbyf6qd1j-Q
It got me to thinking what I would say to you about boys and marriage. Debi's advice goes both ways. I loved when she wrote to watch what people do. That is more important than what they say. I also loved her advice on you marry who you date so only date people that can and WILL take you to the temple. I know you are only 14 and marriage is the last thing on your mind (well it better be! hehehe!) but the choices you make today will put on the path for tomorrow. What will those choices be? I add to Debi's advice these three things: Does he love the Savior? Does he love his mom? Does he love you? If he loves the Savior and treats his mom with love and respect, chances are he will be someone worthy of you. All the rest will come. Your marriage will be the beginning of a new family, one that you and your husband will build. It will be a life full of excitement, fun, frustration, adventure, growth. There will be days when you wonder how life could possibly be any better and there will be days when you will burn dinner, the kids are screaming, husband had a bad day and all roads lead to you for comfort, help, understanding and love. Big job but the Lord knows you can do it, otherwise He wouldn't ask it of you. I know you will be a wonderful wife and and a kind and loving mother. Sometimes I look at you and wonder why the Lord would trust to me such a valiant and strong spirit to raise. Whatever the reasons, I am so glad He did. You always have been and always will be a joy to me.
Love, Mom
