You say you are so wanting to not hurt anyone....isn't your family terribly hurt by you being a Mormon and wanting to marry a Mormon? Mormons worship a false god. Nothing is more hurtful to a true believer in Jesus.

That may be what you believe my friend but I firmly disagree. We believe in God the Father. He is our loving Father in Heaven and loves all his children! He loves us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross for our sins so that we may become clean and return to him! Who do you believe in?? Also, that hurt went two ways. It's also something that we have dealt with and talked about. That is a very personal subject that is between me and my family. Don't you worry, it's all being handled :)

How often do you change your hairstyle?

Like, never. Haha I have had it long long long for about 9 years now. I have a fear of cutting it. I get separation anxiety...

How do you stay in shape?

Well, I don't always feel like I'm in shape haha. But I try to walk with Hunter, go for runs, do crunches, and stretch.

So when you transitioned to Mormonism, what was the hardest change you had to make in your lifestyle?

I would say clothing choices. I never dressed that bad... But I still wore some things that aren't really the standards we hold. I got rid of all my bikinis, most tank tops, and almost all my short shorts. It was easy to accept but took time to switch over

My missionary tells me I should serve but I just recently choose to convert & won't be 19 until 5 months before he comes back. I would love to but my circumstances as of now say no. I wish I could serve a short mission of just a few months! So my ? is how come you never chose to go on a mission?

I would've loved to serve a mission but I prayed about it and it just didn't seem to be the right choice at the moment. The thought that Hunter and I will one day be able to serve a mission together kept coming to mind so it felt more fitting in my life to stay home and be there when he gets back. I became close to the missionaries in my ward and asked if I could go teach with them. That always made me feel like I was serving a mini mission. I just suggest praying about it and sincerely seeking an answer.

I was at your baptism. I have struggled with doubt. I was wondering why it took you so long to come back out after the baptism. I saw your mom crying. I just wonder if you were having doubts also?

Oh no, the complete opposite actually! When I got into the bathroom I was so overcome with happiness and joy and needed a second to just soak it all in. Then I went to go change and my best friends had snuck into the bathroom to congratulate me so I was talking to them for a while without realizing how much time was passing. I also, of course, needed to fix and check my mascara and hair and what not ha. I honestly had no idea I took so long until everyone told me ha.

This is a super personal question, obviously you don't have to answer if you don't feel comfortable. Were you nervous to receive your endowments? Did anything weird happen or that you didn't expect? Going to the temple is so important to me but unfortunately I've read so many scary things about it.

I was SO excited! I just answered a question similar to this and yes I was slightly nervous but I also get nervous to say I have to go to the bathroom in public or to go on long road trips... I freak myself out very easily. It was such an amazing experience though and I had no reason to worry. The spirit inside the temple is so strong and I felt so comfortable there. I was surrounded by those that love me and knew I was doing the right thing. Yes there were a few things I didn't expect but they all made sense and made me feel good. My temple preparedness class and my bishop, stake president, Hunter, and his parents really helped prepare me. I felt like such a beautiful daughter of God in the temple and I am so grateful we have them :) all the negative things you have read/heard are usually from people that have either gotten excommunicated or just have some strange hate for the church. I wouldn't worry about that :)

Were you nervous to get endowed?

I was really mostly excited but there was a little bit of me that was nervous just because I always get nervous about something new. I was so excited to learn more and feel closer to my father in heaven. It was a wonderful experience and I wish I could do it all over again for the first time. Everyone was so nice and helpful. I'll remember that day forever :)

Did you ever think you liked other people when Hunter was gone? Or were you ever attracted to other guys?

No I didn't. I just knew I loved him and wanted him since the very beginning. No other guys seemed to compare. It was very easy for me to stay devoted to Hunter. There was never a temptation for me to date other guys :)

Which bad habits, if any, drive you crazy?

I really can't stand when People interrupt me/talk over me.

How was your wedding and the sealing and the reception?!

It was a rainy day and that alone had my stomach in knots. The Sealing was amazing. Like I couldn't have planned for it to be better. Our sealer was incredibly sweet and personable and I loved everything he said. I felt my love for Hunter triple inside the temple. The rain luckily cleared just in time for us to exit the temple to see family and friends like I had always dreamed of. We were even able to take pictures on temple grounds! The rain stayed away pretty much all day then rained for like an hour at the reception. The outdoor reception I had planned out perfectly ended up being completely different but it was still beautiful. Just goes to show that nothing ever goes as planned but it will still be just perfect :)

What's the first thing you would do at your wedding?

Like the reception or the actual sealing? The first thing I did at the reception was look around at the decorations.

Oh my goodness that was SO sweet! Thank you so much! :) I definitely needed to hear something that sweet tonight :) your happily ever after will come and it will be just perfect I promise :)

How did you get through the really tough days while he was gone? My boy is out on his mission right now, and it's been tough lately. Any advice?

I just remembered that eternity together will be SO much sweeter than the time apart. It was definitely hard and I struggled missing him so much, especially with all the mushy gushy couples everywhere you turn. But, I just kept remembering how strong our love is and how real it is. Reminiscing on old memories and day dreaming about new ones we would create made falling in love again seem so exciting and made the wait seem just a little shorter ha. I spent a lot of time making crafts for him, working, and picking up new hobbies :)

Who is you favorite of hunters siblings and why

Hahaha oh man that's hard! I like them all for different reasons. Same with their wives. I wouldn't say I actually have a favorite. I am a little closer to some than the others but I like all of them! Of course there is also his younger sister Savannah who I think of as my own sister. We got super close while Hunter was on his mission.

Why don't Mormons allow non believers into their temples? In Jesus time there were all sorts of people coming into the temple....

The temple is incredibly sacred and special to us. We have several ceremonies that go on inside that help us draw nearer to God and help us feel the spirit. We do not want that to be mocked. If we allowed anyone and everyone inside and they didn't respect what we are doing even though it means so much to us things wouldn't go over very well ya know?

Is Hunter still a part of the wedding planning even though he is in Utah?

Ha uhm, what boy is really that involved in wedding planning really? I of course tell him all the plans and ask his opinion on some things and he has had a few tasks but my mom and I have done most of it to make sure it's everything I've dreamed of :)

How many children do you want? How long will you wait after you and Hunter marry to have children?

I want quite a few kids. I don't have an exact number because I don't want to get my hopes up if I can't reach that number. We want to wait a little bit after we are married to start having kids. We did just spend two years apart after all, it will be nice to have some time with just the two of us :) however, I can't really say much now because things could change. After all, I wasn't exactly planning on getting engaged like a week after he came home. But I'm glad we did, all things happen at a given time for a reason

What's your favorite food?

Uhm, that's hard. I feel like it always changes. I'm always in the mood for any sort of Mexican food though! I also really like any form of potato :)
