I usually don't do just journal posts I wait till I have pictures to show what we've been up to and I have some DARLING ones of our little nieces and nephews on Halloween soon to come...
I just want to share a little bit of one of Lifes little bumps that seem to be all along the way... it seems that they pull at my heartstrings every so often in a way that I feel Heavenly Father saying " Now Janet it is time for me to stretch you and help you grow a little bit more... its going to hurt a little but I will be here" A little heart surgery is what I like to call it.
Ray and I have been trying for a year to have a baby... to fill our lives with little ones and more laughter and love. I have been thru tests and last week it was Rays turn to have a test. Well we got the results back today... needless to say our chances of having a little one on our own are not very good. Our hearts are so heavy but we are trying to see the sunshine thru the rain. When it is our turn I know that God will bless us with the little ones we have been waiting for. Sometimes it is just so hard when it is not our timing but his. Rays Dad wrote us a letter a few weeks ago and gave us some sound advise that made a great impact but now makes an even greater one he said. " Families come in all shapes, colors and sizes it is not always ideal how them come to us but they will come" How true that is. I have to believe that God has a plan in how this will all work out... I guess I just want to express my gratitude to him for knowing what is best even though we don't undertand. I am grateful to know that he has our best intrests at heart even though we may not see what they are looking back he always has. He sees the big picture and knows when we need to stretch and grow to be a little stronger and a little better.
I am so grateful for the family he has given both of us. We have been so blessed to be surrounded by people that we Love and that support us in all we do. I am grateful for Ray what a great man he is I love him with my whole heart I can't imagine going thru this without him by my side. I am especially grateful for my Sister Ashleigh she is great at helping me see the sunshine all along the way she is such a strength to me! I am grateful for all of my siblings I have the worlds greatest broothers. We all Love and support each other thru lifes little trials. My Brother Jon called me today and said "the world teaches you to live for today it's all you've got... but with my experience living for tomorrow is what gets us thru lifes tough todays" What a profound statement so we'll look forward to tomorrow and know that miracles happen!

Tender Mercies
We recieved the GREATEST news this week!! We have been waiting to be sealed we got a letter from the first presidency last July asking us to wait a year as the time from Rays divorce had not been very long. So we have tried to patiently wait... (Ray is much more patient than I am) and we met with our Stake President about a month ago to start the clearance process over again... so we have just been waiting and then Ray came home from work on Friday I was taking a nap and he came in and gave me a kiss. He then went into the kitchen and started opening the mail... I thought it was a bill from the dentist as Ray had a root canal on Monday so I asked him what he was opening he came into the door way of the living room and started to read
'Dear Brother King
In response to your petition, the sealing clearance that will permit Janet Ann Nessen King to be sealed to you in the temple has been approved as of the date of this letter"
Signed Thomas S Monson, Henry B. Eyering, and Elder Utchdorf (sp?)
We immediatly began to cry our hearts are so filled with Gratitude and an overwhelming sense of Joy! Something about seeing the signatures of these men bore testimony to me again that the Gospel is true. We have a living prophet and Heavenly Father is in the details of our lives. He Loves Us! I am so grateful to be sealed to Ray he is my soul mate I love him more than words could ever express and I am so grateful for the tender mercies of the Lord in our lives! I am grateful that the Lord has made it possible to be sealed to those we LOVE in families for eternity. We are so excited and are grateful for the MANY MANY blessings that we recieve from heaven. It stll makes me cry!

Happy Anniversary
I just want to say that I have the worlds Greatest Husband! He is my best friend, someone I laugh with, cry with, cuddle with and Love with all of my heart. He is full of adventure, he is so Smart, He works hard and plays hard, He is the Love of my Life. I am so grateful for the blessing of being his wife. It has been a great first year with some bumps no doubt most of which were caused by me but there is no one I would rather work with and have by my side in this life and love forever! Thank you honey for being such a great example, friend, and companion to me and for loving me so much! I Love You!!
