Shout-out to Jason!

When Mandy and I were little we used to call into radio disney like a hundred times until we could get through and then make shout outs to each other or our other friends! So this is my shout-out to my wonderful husband. I have been thinking a lot about what i am grateful for the last few days, especially after the video we posted last night. After church today i realized that i have probably the most amazing husband in the world, and i am so grateful for him. Jason is constantly serving me, and watching out for me. Today was a great example starting early this morning when he had to leave to an early church meeting and came home and recognized how tired i still was so let me know he would set the alarm for a little later so i could sleep. I still pressed snooze even after that and was rushing to get ready for church. I came dashing down the stairs and he gave me some cereal that i could eat in the car, and i was so grateful because i was starving. Come to find out that was his cereal but he knew i was teaching today so he thought it would benefit me more. After church he helped make dinner, and set the table while I was busy taking care of other stuff. I love it because he even had the potatoes on a hot pad, drinks poured and ready, and the silverware on a folded napkin. That may sound silly but it looked so good, and I was so impressed. The best part is today is just one example and this happens everyday. Jason is never thinking of just himself or what he has to do, but what everyone else needs. He's also not just serving me but his family, friends, and most importantly his father in Heaven. I can feel the blessings within our home because of Jason's selflessness. I am so blessed to be his wife, and have the opportunity to learn from his example. THANKS JAS, I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART!

I also had another really awesome experience yesterday. We had the opportunity to go to the temple and while i was waiting for Jason a couple turned around and asked if I was Janae. They guy turned out to be one of Jason's good friends Zach Taylor and his lovely wife Anne-Sophie. Anne is from France and has only been in America a few months. When Jason got there we started talking more and invited them to the Aggie basketball game with us later that night. They agreed and were really excited. I was excited too because i thought it was really cool Anne was from France and wanted to talk to her more about it. Later at the game when we were talking I asked her what her favorite part of living in Logan was, and in my head i was thinking "how could you like it here better then southern france?" (Not that i don't love Logan, but i think most of us agree that southern France sounds amazing!) She answerd really fast and said, "I love the Temple, because there is no Temple in France." I was really taken aback and touched. I did not expect that answer and even though it was so simple, it was obviously very dear to her heart. I am grateful for Anne's example and love of the temple to remind me how blessed I am to always have lived so close to the Temple. This experience really touched me, and was much needed after a week of feeling stressed and having anxiety about school. So thank you Anne-Sophie!
