Temple and Eddie boy

All the weddings this past year reminded me of the year before Ed and got sealed and how awesome/hard it was. Eddie being the romantic gentleman tat he is, was and is the perfect courting guy ever. He always write the tear producing poems and brings fresh flowers and surprises me with dates and candy that I like. Now, I talk in present tense cause he is still like that today. He has been in med school forever and still he menages to be a kind, loving husband.
What I thought at first that he must be gay, knowing how to dance, being so fun, Mr. social and sings too. But the way he looked at me was pretty clear to my sister that he is no gay. Well, off course I thought that for a very short time since he was so nervous around me and would do everything I ask. Whenever I listen to a talk by a church leader about hoe to treat your spouse, I think about Ed hearing many of those talks cause he is such a good example.
The hard thing was to keep my hands off him so we can be sealed for time and all eternity. After that, party!!!
It was hard to love someone so much and not be able to sleep in the same bed with them and to miss them and to have to be around family so we can stay sane.
But there was something so beautiful, pure, spiritual about it that made us get even closer. It was the first challenge we had together and we had to pass it each on his own and together. We spent 6 hours at church(3 mine 3 his) and seating with him, singing hymns , hearing his voice and holding his hand-priceless.
We spent time with Mark Powell who needs a lot of physical help and we both understood that we want to serve others. We learned so much from Mark, he is so sweet, he gave us way more than we gave him.
We talked a lot about what is important to us and what we like or fear or want.
We counted stars and the amazing thing is we feel the same today and we know that it is a blessing from God having put our faith in Him to help us through very scary moments like when the INS told me " you will not be able to stay in the US unless you get marries now" and " why didn't you get married a few months ago?"
Well INS dears, we had a thing with the Lord and we had to prepare for me to be a member for a year to enter the holy Temple. So we prayed and prayed and ...prayed. And we went to do temple work, and I cried on his shoulder, and cried some too. And we laughed A LOT. We still do all this things and it amazes me.
I am always amazed of how firm Ed is about the Gospel. And it helped me to realize that God wants us to be obedient so he can bless us. Like a perfect father.
To be sealed to Ed was so incredible, to see both of us in white in this amazing place where everything is so good and right.

Isit easy? nah. Being a butterfly that I am it is hard to live the commandments of latter day saints. Would I choose otherwise? NO!, I would not marry Ed in any other way because it is the link that makes us one in front of Heavenly Father. It is a prove to us that we can work and progress as a team. It is a comfort and Joy.
I love Eddie, I love him for loving God and the gospel. Because he has this wonderful spirit that gives and loves. I love him because he is my best friend and my family. I want to kill him right now cause he is on a night shift hahaha.
I can say without a doubt that joining the Church and going to the Temple with Ed was the rebirth of my spirit and the beginning of this amazing life here away from my old home. hard but mostly very very happy.
