passion is kissing in the rain

There is something magical about summer rain....I love warm rain! Kyler and I made a bed on the floor of our office and watched a predictable "girly" movie where in the first five minutes Kyler nailed the plot..I accused him that he must of seen it before :) during the movie I could here the rain beating down on our roof.....after the movie was over I dragged Kyler outside and made him run in the rain with me...I am apparently out of shape because we only made it down the street before we were tired and turned around..plus we were barefoot. After it let down we went for a long walk...I really love are walks, it seems like the one time where we can just talk, or at least be together without saying anything, that can be nice as well.

On our walks we have been talking about the tragic death of his brother that happened last Sunday. It is so incredibly sad, I really am not sure what to say to anyone. Things like this really put life into perspective of what is important and what isn't. It is so easy to be caught up in things that really do not matter...I am so guilty of that. I want to be nice and love all those I come into contact with. This life is a precious gift and it is never for certain when it will end...after talking to Candi a few weeks ago Kyler and I have made a pack to say family pray together every night...we have been thanking our Heavenly Father for each day he gives us because it is a gift....My mom is such a wonderful example of realizing this....She is so incredibly thoughtful, I can not even say how many times I was having a crummy day and she has called or sent a amazing care package. A while ago for one of my classes I had to do a survey with five different people and what they found important in life and how they would rate their quality of life...At first I panicked with the assignment because it said to have five friends write down their responses...including my husband,my sister in law and my brother in law...I only have three friends. I emailed Candi and my Mom and everyone had a high quality of life...this is due largely to there families and the gift of the gospel. My mom has a lot of nice things, a lovely home and a super fun pool, but not to my surprise nothing of that nature made it on her list of why she is happy. I want to be like her.

Also on our walks Kyler and I have talked about having children and the types of parents we would like to be.......we took the plunge and started trying to have a baby. That was last week and this week I decided that their are a few things I need to get figured out before We can go through with this...it is something we so desperatly want. I have started so many things and never seem to be able to finish them. I have a love afair with food... Kyler and I made goals and he drew out a plan for me to improve my health and most importantly my self esteem before we start our family, wish me luck.........
