Marraige Counseling

So Josh and I went through a two hour counseling session with my Bishop and it made me realize that this is going to be tough. It's like a whole new job. Well not a job but it's going to require alot of attention and love. I love Josh with all of my heart but I'm not ignorant enough to think we'll never have a fight or never disagree to the point of not wanting to be around each other for a little while. I want to be the best for him so I'm going to try my hardest to do everything I can to compromise and choose my battles. Surprisingly enough the mission taught me alot about picking my battles and knowing whats truely important to speak up about. Anyway I learned alot and hope we can speak honestly to each other and work together as partners.
We bought our rings that night as well. It was alot of fun. Josh's ring is awesome and he loves it so much. He's so cute because he kept wanting to look at it and he even took it from me to show his brother, he was like a boy with a new toy. He's so cute!!!! I'll post some pics soon.
This weekend we are having a family reunion, kind of a baptism by fire for Josh, but I'm so excited to see my family members that I haven't seen since I was like 10 or so. Honestly I'm gonna be meeting some of my family members for the first time. There are alot of people that aren't blood related but are considered family. I consider my friends family as well. My best friend Janel is like another sister for me as well as my mission companions and the amazing members in Iowa (my mission). I love spending time with family. Only the most embarrassing stories come out, funny stupid things we all did and the same stories that have been told my whole life.
My sister, mother and I are doing a funny skit from the movie Mamma Mia. It's gonna be hilarious. I'll post some pictures next week to show you all what happened. I can't wait.
