Today I have been thinking about Ithaca and Jason's graduation. I knew he was brilliant and smart, and a beautiful person. But when I was at the graduation I could tell he was truly a man. I looked at him and thought of so many things, the fact that he is a protector and a great friend to his brothers. The fact that his brothers know they can count on him and he is such a good example to them. I loved the fact that as we were walking so many people hugged and cared about him. He knew everyone. The fact that he is truly amazing. I am his mother. Jason Allen Anema graduated with is PhD in Math. He also threaten to flash everyone at graduation, so when the day came. He told us that it was his only chance to flash 10,000 at one time!!! It made me giggle:) But he decided not to flash:)
We then went to a banquet for the math students and it was really nice. WE (Greg, Nana, Pa, Aaron, Kevin, and Kim and myself) had a chance to meet his friends and professors. Ithaca is beautiful. Will post pictures in a while

I am getting Married
So my friend that I have been dating for a while asked me to marry him. I always knew that I would marry a non-member, I honestly thought it would take one to understand and accept my past. I know beyond any doubt that Atonement plays such a huge part of my life and know that my Heavenly Father has forgiven me and loves me. But the men are human, so I knew it would take someone who could and would accept me with everything.
I told my parents a couple of days ago and they told me a couple of things to do, and I have done them and I know the answer to my prayers. I do not expect them to jump up and down but I did expect a little more than what i got. I understand they do not like it because he is a non member and it makes my life harder. I do understand that it will be ok. I get the fact that I love Kevin. I know what love is . For me to say yes is a big deal, matter of fact a huge deal. I never thought I would get married not for along time.
I talked to greg first. I believe my temple marriage is not forgotten. It is still in place, I just don't know if I would marry someone who wanted me to get a temple divorce. I never thought I would be writing that. I also understand no one understands the above comment.
