Not Just Your Ordinary Wall Decor

Was it somewhat angular letters done cross-stitch style with colorful embroidery floss?  Or some sort of florally script in an ornate gold frame?  The mental picture of a little wall hanging varies within my mind but the profound message it conveys something steady and strong within my heart:  "Choose Your Love, Love Your Choice." Read about that little message in President Thomas S. Monson's, president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a living prophet of the Lord--a seer and revelator just as the prophets of old, recent conference address.  

Sixteen years ago, I was lucky enough to have my true love choose me (he would say he was lucky I chose him...in reality it probably goes both ways...haha) and I have to admit I love my choice every single day!  Doesn't mean everything is always peachy-keen but it does mean I have power to use perspective and unselfishness when times get a little bumpy and if I choose not to, well, then, I am not choosing happiness. Feeling like you have control of yourself is important to me.  Recognizing my choices are within my control is pretty empowering!

ChoCho and Senior
You can't tell that Senior is wearing blue socks (hey, they matched the dark blue suit he wore to the temple) and his tux is a little short (that is the reason you should try on your tux before the big day).  We also got left at the temple and had to call from a pay phone (no cell phones back then)  and have someone come and pick us up.  Yep, I rode to the temple with my parents that day and he rode with his parents (you know it is bad luck to see one another before the temple on the day of your wedding...at least that is what he told me when I asked him the night before what time he was going to pick me up).  After the ceremony and family pictures, our photographer continued to shoot photos of the two of us and everyone else headed home (without telling us or realizing we had come with them) to prepare for the rest of the festivities leaving the newly-married downtown with no car...once we figured it out we called Senior's little sis and little bro and they drove back down and picked us up.  We treated them to lunch at Training Table.  Kinda crazy but lots of fun!
