My husband...yes my husband is joining the church!!!!!!!!!! I can't really express how this makes me feel. If I were only a better writer. My heart is full of gratitude. If I weren't afraid of heights I would probably shout it from the rooftops.
When I joined the church 5 1/2 years ago, I was the first in my family. I have prayed and hoped all these years that hubby would join the church. He has always been supportive in all that I do with the church and has gone a few times over the years but never really showed much interest. Recently, things that have happened in our life has caused him to think of his own mortality and so a few weeks ago he began the missionary lessons. They have been great lessons, filled with the spirit. I could see the wheels turning and could see him truly searching, pondering and praying. Last night he decided that he would be baptized and this will take place in a couple of weeks.
It's been amazing to see him go through this transformation. To have a court side seat to watch the spirit really work in his life. So many people have prayed for him and I know that this had an impact as well and I am thankful. I am so happy for him and for our family. I know with all my heart that he is making the right choice.
Could I be any more blessed? Could I be anymore thankful to my Heavenly Father? No, my heart is full and I am truly blessed beyond measure.

tonya -- still thinking about your awesome news here. just thrilled for you. i can not imagine how exciting this is for you and your family. but i am so excited that my husband (even it has taken a really tough experience for us) has been saying the prayer for the last couple weeks (remember i said in my bitter vs. sweet post that he NEVER did that before). so i can kinda relate to you in that way. God can do anything and He does do anything.
thanks for coming by my blog tonight. your comments about my friend quiz made me smile. appreciate the lift you gave me because things have been hard, so i appreciate any lift/smile that comes my way.
blessings to you and your Mormon family this night, kathleen
