February 26th Will Always Be A Special Day

While at the temple today I was thinking back on the past 5 years and how much has happened in just a short amount of time. I made a big move from Utah to Denver, met Milton, dated him for 1 1/2 years, got hitched, adopted Kusko and Bahlu, went to the temple to be sealed one our 1 year Anniversary, excelled in my job, had a beautiful daughter, decided that I was going to be a stay at home mom. etc etc...Then it occured to me that the 26th of February has been very good day...

Four years ago Milton said the three (long awaited for words), "I love you." Now, normally it may not be something I would remember the date over, but in this particular case I did. By that time Milton and I had been seeing eachother for almost a year and I had confessed to him several months prior that I was falling in love with him. When I told him that I was falling in love with him all I got was...silence...followed by more awkward silence...then he went on to say that he wasn't a person to say what he didn't mean (basically he wasn't in love with me, definately not what I was wanting to hear). However, he did think we were going to get married some day. HUH? How can someone think of marriage before they can even say that they love someone. But I held on for some reason and knew the day would hopefully come...soon. It did about 3 months later and that's why I remember it so much. February 26, 2006 started a good trend.

One year ago today we got to have the amazing ultrasound to find out how baby was doing and the sex. We had actually found out in an earlier ultrasound that she was a girl, but on February 26, 2009 we got the final confirmation. I had felt from the moment we found out I was pregnant we were having a girl and every thought went directly to baby girls.

Then today I had the most amazing day at the temple. Not only did I feel the peace and knowledge that I was part of a much bigger plan, but it was so wonderful and that I got to spend it with great friends, my wonderful husband and my beautiful daughter. What a great day!
