BLOOMING WHERE YOU ARE PLANTED

It was July 24, 1847 when "Mormon pioneers" first came to the Salt Lake Valley. Upon their arriving, they literally had to make a place to live. Water was crucial and the land was barren. However, with great faith and works of the saints, Utah became distinct on the world map.

It was .... June 20,2009 when Scott and Jasmine finally reached their destination -- Utah... At first, Jasmine could not believe of what Utah looked like... desert with lots of sage bushes all over and mountains everywhere. It was as if in Hawaii, Jasmine was surrounded with oceans, and now with mountains. However, upon realizing, Jasmine gratefully accepted her fate on being in Utah. It was her dream to see the Salt Lake Temple, "Christus", and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. It was beyond her expectation of living in the place where she dreamt to be someday.

Living a married life was and is very interesting for the newlyweds, Scott and Jasmine. They, each day, learn new things about each other. Trying to think what's best and doing it with love, not wanting for something in return. Days passed by when things go wrong, however, as a couple, they strive to face the issue and not against each other..... In the end, they always hug and kiss with a message of peace and comfort, knowing that things will work out someday.

Both of them strive and are striving to bloom where they are planted... like the Mormon pioneers, they are pioneers themselves... pioneers in building a "heaven on earth " in their humble home.
