Nine years ago today:
I married my best friend.
I made sacred covenants with my Father in Heaven that made it possible for me to live with my husband and children forever.
I started down a path that lead to two amazing children.
Today seems like any other average day, and for that I'm very grateful. It means my husband and I are living under the same roof again after being separated for a year. It means my children are healthy and happy with only the occasional argument thrown in. It means life is good. There are no major dilemmas weighing me down, nothing pressing on me to get done before the stress of it threatens to make me explode. I feel content. I feel happy. Doug loves his job, he's done with college after nine years, he doesn't have to study for exams. He's content. He's happy. Do you see why I'm grateful this day is like any other average, mundane day?
We haven't thought of a way to make our day seem extra special. The funds are tight so we aren't doing individual gifts. We're going to save for something we both want (still not sure what). We talked about going out to dinner, but I'd rather just spend the evening home cuddled up on the couch. Besides, why leave the kids behind when they're the best things that have happened so far in our marriage?
I'm so grateful to be married to an amazing man who holds the priesthood and fulfills his duties as a husband and as a father to the best of his abilities. It doesn't hurt that he is SO GOOD LOOKING!!!!!! I'm not sure how a girl like me got so lucky, but I thank the Lord every night that I was blessed with such a man. I LOVE YOU DOUG!!!!!!! I know I'm not perfect and that I can be your biggest frustration at times, but I would do ANYTHING for you!!!! I love you honey and I can't wait to see what the next 109 years bring.
