Lucky Girl

I'm such a lucky girl.

To be raised by a man who believes in:

Hard Work (weeding, bathrooms, dusting, laundry, and KP, not dishes),
Truthfulness (you did NOT want the consequences that came attached to a lie),
Loyalty (supporting each other in activities, accomplishments and even failures),
Order (work first, play later),
Faith (follow the Prophet no matter what)
Self-sufficiency (use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without)
Manners (elbows off the table, chew with your mouth closed, always say please and thank you)
Perfection (no job is worth doing, unless you do it right)


To be married to a man who believes in:

Integrity (do the right thing, even when no one is there to see you)
Service (the giver always receives more)
Playing (even if it is bedtime...)
Obedience (immeasurable blessings come to those who keep the commandments of God)
Sacrifice (the needs of the family are greater than the wants of any individual--usually himself)
Happiness (found through righteous living and teaching, and through declaring his wife to be right the majority of the time)
Commitment (stand up for what you believe in and do what you say you'll do)
