It's really nice to know that although Matt and me may have our differences, faults or things that annoy one another to the max sometimes, that at the end of a bad day or argument that we know how much we love one another and that we know we are meant to be!!
Love, Family and Religion means everything to us and it's sure nice to know that when it comes to the big things we are on the exact same page!! :) We are not perfect, but I know we will always try to work on the areas that we need, to be better.
I love my husband with all my heart and could NOT imagine life without him in it! He is what makes my world go round! Anytime he makes me a bit mad I just go back to all the Many great memories we have created, look at all the positive/good that he is and all the Very special spiritual moments that have told me that we are Truly meant to be together forever! Those moments have been so loud and obvious that I know it was the spirit guiding me to stay strong and fight for Matt, when we were dating and still to this day!
We didn't have the easiest dating experience, with family, differences, background and with our lovely fights that we had. But I figured if we were able to get through that tough time that we would be able to get through more tough times ahead in whatever that may be: Work, Finances, Family, Home situation, and many other things that just happen in life! And so far I know we are a STRONG couple and have a very Deeply Love for One Another that will not let anything get in our way of being an Eternal Couple/Family Forever and Above!!
There are 2 times that just really told me that I was going to marry Matt and that we would have a family together!
-The first one happened after our First date (Nov. 4th 2004), After I got home from a wonderful FUN date with him I went in my bedroom and felt like I needed to read my patriarchal blessing (which I didn't normally do after my dates) and when reading it in a certain part when talking about when I marry: That if I stay close to the Lord and the Holy Ghost that I will be guided in my decision making as I seek help and guidance from them that I 'll make the right decision, which will enable me to choose from my many friends, that young man that will become my eternal companion. After I read that I had a Strong feeling that Matt my in fact be that young man they are talking about (the man of my dreams). I really felt to keep a close eye on him after that And that I did hahaha! I fell for him hard and fast, we couldn't get enough of each other! He was a true Keeper in my eyes!!
-Then the second spiritual experience I had was: After the first time Matt told me he "Loved Me" on our way home from his parents house in Cedar City (early spring 2005), we had just got on the freeway and was Extremely happy and at peace, when I was prompted to turn around to check on our 3 kids in the back seat!
It was so extremely real and I saw a glimps of them and was so excited and told Matt right away and then started to cry! It was then that I knew we had made it and we were truly going to be together in the end no matter how long it would take!! I fell so madly in love with him after that day and haven't stopped since!!
He was it- my eternal companion and after 3 very long years of dating- we did just that and finally got married and sealed for All Time and Eternity in the St. George Temple!! And are soon going to have our "3 kids" I seen in the back seat years ago, after being married for only 4 years this June!
It has it's moments... but it is a great real life with it's lovely ups and downs!! lol
Life Could Not Be Any Better!!!!
Just a lil reminder... I Love you Terrence Matthew Shumway!!! xoxoxox



I love you and your entire family! So lucky you and Matt found each other. xoxoox
