ANNIVERSARY!

Last Friday was our ONE YEAR anniversary. Crazy! I can't believe that it has been one year already, and at the same time it seems like it's been forever. This has honestly been the BEST year of my life.
For our anniversary Conor made me a video/slideshow story. It was SO thoughful and sweet, I cried through the whole thing. I love being married to such a romantic man. He spoils me everyday. For our anniversary we drove up to Park City and walked around Main Street and went into our favorite store, Rocky Mountain Candy! Haha we LOVE their carmel apples but this time decided on some fudge. ( it would last us longer). Then we headed to dinner. Conor made us reservations at Ruth's Chris Steak House at Hotel Park City. Talk about swanky! The only reason we were able to dine there was because we had a gift card we got a year ago. When we arrived there, they greeted us as MR and MRS LARSON, and treated us like we were made of money. ( so not the case!). I enjoyed the greatest steak that I have ever had in my life, I was honestly talking about it for the rest of the night. Conor enjoyed his too, all 25 ounces of it! Seriously, his was huge. Then we shared a desert, it was such a nice place to eat and would recommend it to anyone who regularly blows through $100 for dinner. ( TOLD YA!). We just spent the rest of the evening enjoyed each other and reminising over the past year and how happy we are to be married for eternity.
The next day we went to the temple together to continue our celebration. I love being there with my husband. It is so special and sacred. I wish I could describe in words how happy Conor has made me. He has definately made me a better person, and I thank him for that. I am so excited to see what the future has in store for us.
ISN'T BEING IN LOVE THE GREATEST?!?!?!
here is the video that Conor made for me.

Relying on the Lord
Since it was the middle of the day when we got this news we only talked for a minute or two and I made sure to assure him of my love for him and that if we continue to support each other that we would be able to get through this. I think I was still in shock at this point, but when I went back into work, the panicky worrier in me took over.
The next morning when I woke up, it was quiet and I was alone in my thoughts. Not good for someone who is worrying and is quite good at coming up with awful scenarios in my head. I decided I needed the peace and calming affects of the temple.
My day at work could not has gone fast enough, all I wanted was to get away from the world and to be able to feel the calming affects of the spirit inside the temple. I will never forget how the second I stepped inside my world felt perfect again. I had a reassuring thought that everthing is going to be alright. NOT EASY, but alright.
That night I went home and cuddled with my husband and everything was perfect again.
I'm struggling with this, but that is to be expected. The most difficult part for me is that this was not in my "Five Year Plan." or even in my " This year's plan." I hate when things don't go the way I plan them, and I think this is a lesson I need to learn. I need to learn to rely on the Lord more. Already I have become closer to Him through this, and so I am grateful. Strange that while my husband is still unemployed and no solution has come that I am grateful. I think that this will also bring me and my husband closer as well. I am learning that goals and plans I have for me and Conor are not to be accomplished on our time but on the Lords and that maybe He has some different things in mind for us.
I am certain that this will end up being a great blessing for us, but right now it is very cleverly disguised as a crap situation. Conor is on the job search right now and I can't tell you how proud I am of him for his drive and determination to continue to provide for our family.
I ask a small favor that you keep us in your prayers and if you know of any employment opportunities to let us know.
thank you
