Ashley's Getting Married

My daughter Ashley is engaged and getting married soon.  She is my eighth child to get married.  You'd think I would be an old pro at this wedding business but I'm not.  You'd think I would be used to seeing my children leave home but I'm not.  Though I have ten children each child is really an only child in my heart.

One thing I know for sure - choosing to love someone and create a new family together is what a meaningful life is all about.  I 've noticed that the quality of our life is about the same as the quality of our closest relationships. 

So I wish you well Ashley and Hyrum.  Your life will not be easy but you will face your challenges together.  Create a loving home - everything good follows.
