Defining Serendipity

ser·en·dip·i·ty

Merriam-Webster defines serendipity  as:

 "the faculty or phenomenon of finding valuable or agreeable things not sought for"

but I like to think of it as

"a happy accident" 

and this is my serendipity

 As an 18 year old girl straight out of high school I was just trying to figure out how to grow up. I didn't know what I wanted to do for a living so I took some time off of school to get a grown up job at The Christ Hospital and build my savings account. I left my home ward and was just looking to date all of the cuties in the singles' branch and get as many free meals as possible... but my happy surprise didn't take it's time finding me.

 

 Michael Ryan Sullivan and I were married on September 22, 2012 sealed together as a family for time and all eternity in

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

Columbus, Ohio Temple  

The blessings this gospel has brought me have been nothing short of amazing.

I know that I am a daughter of a loving Father in Heaven.  

I know that Christ, the son of God, died so that my inevitable sins will be forgiven.

I know that I can be with my wonderful husband and family even after death parts us. 

I know that the Bible and The Book of Mormon are true testaments of Jesus Christ.

I know that there is a living prophet on Earth today, who receives inspiration from God.   mormon.org

It really is no accident that two people so perfect for each other fell in love.

And it really is no accident that their faith brought them together to share eternity with

 each other.

But to love is the happiest experience one can have.

   And this unexpected happiness is my serendipity.
