Elder Porter also spoke about the most important job a husband and wife could have. He told us being a mother and father. My dream job my whole life has been to be a mom. I choose that over any high paying job there is in the world. It brings me so much joy to be Ian's mom. I love watching him learn new things, and grow. He just started saying ma ma and it makes me so happy. He of course says it when he is sad, but it makes me feel so happy that he needs me, and loves me. Being a mom is not a easy job. After a hard day I lay Ian down for bed, kiss him goodnight, tell him how much I love him and he waves bye bye. After I lay him down I remember how amazing it is to be a mom. I truly love it!
Being a wife is the most amazing thing because I have the best husband. Elder Porter said, "the two things a person needs to have on their list of what they are looking for in a spouse are: are they a spiritual person and are they your best friend." Matthew is so strong in the gospel and I knew that from the day I met him. One thing that was on my list for what I wanted in a husband was he had to be a return missionary. A mission makes all the difference in a guy's life. They grow so close to our heavenly father in those two years. I hope and pray that my children serve missions just like their amazing dad. Matthew is truly my best friend. I tell him everything, he makes me laugh and makes me the happiest girl alive. I love you Matthew.
I am so thankful for great parents that taught me the gospel and instilled good standards in my life. I am so blessed to have a family of my own now. I love my husband and baby boy more than anything. Eternal families are the best thing ever!

I loved that talk at stake conference...Elder Porter was amazing and hit it right on the nail head:) You have such a sweet family and I love that I have friends like you that love being a mom and wife as much as I do! Thanks for sharing your thoughts:)
I'm so glad you posted this! A little ironic, because my little rugrats couldn't behave after the 1st hour. No one around us could hear and I couldn't hear so we left. I'm so bummed we missed his talk. It's been a rough couple of weeks, so I'm grateful you posted this reminder of how wonderful it is to be a wife and mom!
What a great post. Eternal families are the best!
What a sweet post. I loved your sentiments about your dad. That's how I feel about mine, too. Love 'em.
