A little while after I first started dating Tasha, she taught me this really cute analogy with her hands. She held hers up, with her fingers spread apart, and explained that her fingers represented her gifts, and the gaps between represented the things that maybe she wasn’t so good at. Then she took my hand, and with our fingers intertwined, explained that my gifts fill her gaps.
The more and more I’ve spent time with Tasha, I’ve come to realize that it goes both ways:
Her gifts fill my gaps.
Tasha has the most brilliant, radiant testimony I have ever seen. It shines through in everything she does, and in every life she touches. I am amazed by her desire to help others. She inspires me to be better, and helps me to focus on what is important. With her, I’m less afraid to tackle life’s challenges. She is always so understanding of everything, and somehow manages to get what it is I’m saying, even when I can’t find the right words (and sometimes even when I don’t say anything at all). Her love of family, her desires to do what is right, her incredible spirituality, and her beautiful life are just a few of the reasons I love her so so much.
Most of all, I love her for the joy she spreads. Pure, honest, sincere joy. She knows how to find the good in everything, and she loves to share it. She truly is amazing.
(You can get to know her too, through her amazing blog. Check it out, you’ll be amazed like me!)
The other night, Tasha and I realized that while holding hands, our palms are together. Our palms represent the basis of who we are. Our goals, our desires, our dreams. And I realized that ours match perfectly. Though we have different gifts and gaps, different interests and different struggles, when we bring our palms together and remember what is important, everything else seems to work out just fine.
Well, naturally I couldn’t let a girl like that get away. So I asked her to marry me! I’m so happy to announce that she said “yes!” We are getting married in the Salt Lake Temple on February 18th, 2011.
And I couldn’t be happier!
