Quote Wall

Over the last week I have collected several motivational inspiring quotes and have hung them on my wall. It started with a few and almost every day a new one is added. It is now called the quote wall. A lot of the quotes have to deal with patience since that is one of my weaknesses right now. Some deal with temptations, and trials, others not giving up, and others are just humorous random quotes I have found. It has been really great. Whenever someone in my family is going through a hard time or struggling with some of these problems they always come in my room and read them. It sure helps me when I am having a bad day or letting myself be impatient to read them and not get down.

Elder Giles' Example

Ok so many of you know that my dear brother Jeron is serving his mission in Phoenix, AZ and has only been out coming on 7 months. He is doing great, and as hard as it is having someone so close to me gone for 2 years I have learned a lot from him. He has really strengthened and helped me in time of need and guidance. I love his strong spirit and how positive he is. When times get hard and when most people would want to  quit all he can say is “How great is my calling.” I love it. When he is tried with his patience or  health trials he has no doubt that the Lord will not help and bless him-he is full of faith.  I love you Jer!

Our Story

It's always fun to hear about how every couple met, what caught their attention, first impressions etc. So here is ours.

Jocelyn and Ty met at BYU Idaho back in January. They were in the same ward, same FHE, and Ty was Jocelyn's home teacher. Yes, the home teacher story. Jocelyn already had a boyfriend at the time. However it was distance so that didn't stop Ty. 

"Well I first saw Jocelyn at the ward FHE and dang she looked good. Her eyes and smile were the first thing that caught my attention. I walked up to introduce myself, and of course she was extremely friendly, it didn't even occur to me that she had a boyfriend until I stalked her on Facebook and found out the unfortunate news. However there was no ring on her finger, so it was all fair game."-Ty

"My first impression of Ty was, Oh he's a nice good kid." Always at church, doing his home teaching every month (wonder why;) ) We hungout everyday whether it was going to Cafe Rio, watching movies, grocery shopping, or just talking and having him help me since he was very willing. A couple months later there was the unexpected kiss. Yes, he kissed me. I was just going into smell his cologne and apparently that meant that I wanted a kiss. So girls don't become to close to guys that aren't your boyfriend or they will think that means you want to kiss. I was upset at first and cut all ties there until the boy and I broke up a couple days later and that night I was back with Ty again. Nothing could or would come between us. 

We kept our friendship tight, even though it was hard for him because he was into me and chased me hard from day one, and I just saw him as a friend. We were best friends. I came to Seattle in April after the semester ended, to visit and that is when I started developing stronger feelings, it was his spirituality that caught my eye. We would talk every night on the phone, and have dates weekly, and I came to visit him for the fourth of July and that is when we made it official official. Ever since it has been nothing but true happiness and head over heels in love.
