#9...

That is the number of years Mitch and I have been married today! What lovely, hard, blissful, challenging, romantic, fun, captivating, emotional, triumphant, joyful, sweet, crazy, testing, happy years it has been. Marriage is definately one of the most rewarding but difficult tests we have in life. I have been thinking alot about it lately. Marriage is the ultimate sacrifice between two people. We learn to become more Christlike through our marriages. Think about it...we have agreed to be with this one person for better or for worse and in sickness and in health. How could it be easy? We are agreeing to look after another person by our own freewill for the rest of our life or if you have been to the temple for eternity! But what a great love and life a person can have when they find that "someone" to be with. Nothing compares to the closeness that a husband and wife can share. It is sacred and wonderful. You have a best friend and companion to help guide you through this life for the better. Your spouse will love you unconditionally, no matter what your faults or shortcomings and will help you overcome those trials in life. Marriage isnt going to be easy...but it will be worth it in the end.
Top 10 Reasons I Heart my Hubby
1. He makes me laugh, we have way too much humor in our marriage!
2. He gets me. I can be myself around him and know that he accepts me no matter what.
3. He is a great dad. He is never too busy for his kids. He always plays with them and reads them their bedtime stories when he is home. Yesterday he took time off of work to go with Aubrie on her field trip and that is something she will always remember.
4. He is genuine and real. Mitch isnt about impressing people or making things seem fake. He is who he is and is true to himself.
5. He is good to people. Mitch would do just about anything for anyone.
6. He makes me happy. Mitch can turn my day around and make me feel good. Of course he can do the opposite too! LOL.
7. He is a great writer. He still writes me everyday a love letter/email. He even will write in his own handwriting sweet words to me and the kids. Someday he will finish a book, maybe if he wasnt always writing his wife.
8. He tries. He is always trying to be better. A better person, dad, husband, friend. He is always trying to make changes and progress. I admire him for that.
9. He is tenderhearted and sensitive. Every gal likes a guy with feelings.
10. He loves me. Yep, no matter what. He has been there for me through so much. We have had our hard times and trials and through it all we seem to be unbreakable, unmovable in our love. That says something to me. That we can face anything together and still hold on to eachother and what we have together is real.


Mitch- Happy Anniversary my love!! I love you with all my heart!
