Although most people know this subconsciously, they never really think about their NEED for love, family, and companionship. They just understand that they WANT it.
I hope that, in the future, I can find a woman who is humble, independant, intelligent, organized, has a love for God, has a knowledge of her and other's worth, and loves others regardless of what they may have done.
"Dallin..." "I'm up" "Good. Get ready, the kids have already got up and dressed." My wife says, as her lips open into the beautiful smile I fall in love with everytime I see it.
I got out of bed and looked out the window as the first rays of the sun started to open themselves up to the world in the distant sky.
"Thursday." I thought with a smile. "Today we go to the temple with our two oldest children, their friends, and their friends' families." I walked into the bathroom, brushed my teeth, and finished the daily routines that may be simple, but help ground and discipline our minds and bodies and allow for clear and focused thoughts in this crazy, fast paced world we live in.
I got dressed and walked out into the kitchen to see her standing there, preparing the food that we would need for our day at the Temple. I silently sneaked up behind her and wrapped my arms around her waist, put my face in her hair and stood there, rocking back and forth, to a song that ears would never hear, but that the heart would sing for all eternity. Then, the thought that had occured to me so many times before, but that always seemed magnified every time it came back to me, "I'm happy now. Now that I have what so many need and desire. Love, companionship, and a family of my own." and the best part was... I knew she was thinking it too.
Note: In this thought, my wife was preparing the food of her own volition. I'm not a sexist stereotyping hooligan, I promise. :)
