An Amazing Year

Wow....this year is flying by. As I reflect on this past year. I am amazed at how every step I took and every choice I made lead my straight to Jance.

I originally came to Washington for a visit. As I packed to go home, it just didn't feel right. I called my best sister-friend and she had a feeling that I would stay. I called Heather and she agreed to not only help me but allowed me to live with her.

I started going to the YSA ward in Pullman, I met with the Bishop and he said that I needed to pray about living in Pullman, before that meeting was over I knew I needed to live in Pullman.

A year ago, I saw Jance for the first time. He was sharing his talent of knife making. He was showing one of his knifes that was attached to his jeans under his motorcycle pants so he had too take off his motorcycle pants to show it.

I made it through the holidays.

I made some amazing friends, friends that helpped me grow in the gospel and as a person.

I went to church on January 11th, to talk with the Bishop. I wasn't feeling well, I was wearing a grey maxi skirt, tennis shoes and a hoodie. Jance talked with me for most of the block.

If you were to tell me that a year ago that I would be married to the man of my dreams, I would have laughed at you. I have been so amazingly blessed this past year.

I am happier than I ever have been. Jance is everything I never knew I needed. Jance has taught me so much. The whole Mathia/Nelson clan as taught me so much. I am grateful that I get to be apart of this amazing family.

I'm amazed and proud of how much I have done this past year. I would not be where I am today without all of the love and support from all of you.

Thank you all for always being there and giving me unconditional love.
