Recommend holders

Felipe and I were driving around Provo on Friday running errands and stopped at the distribution center to look at the temple clothing I'll need to buy. Felipe asked them where he could get a plastic cover for his temple recommend and they told us to go next door to Deseret Book. Felipe asked if I wanted to get matching ones and it's a small thing but all that it represents means a lot to me. We are going to the temple to be sealed and become a family, able to care for God's children. I am going through the temple and will take part in very important things that I don't understand. I'm apprehensive, but excited. So we spent some time choosing our covers and settled on a photo of the Salt Lake temple. When we got back to my house Felipe set it up to stand on the desk in my room. We will be married. It is still so hard to grasp. 24 days! But I love him for being sweet and tender and gentle and spiritual. There are times when I am so frustrated with him that I want to just smack him or swear at him (which I may or may not have done twice), but he is an amazing person and I'm so lucky to have him.

While we were at Deseret Book Felipe pointed out the willow statues/carvings of the mothers and fathers and children and told me that he likes them and showed me the one he got his sister for her wedding. We were looking at them and he grabbed the one of the pregnant mother and her husband holding her and said he would buy that for me when I'm pregnant. I told him he better remember that because I'll hold him to it. When you watch this competitive fiend play soccer you wouldn't believe he's the sweet tender man I'm going to marry. I know this post is cheesy but the little things he does for me means a lot.
