11 years ago.....


11 years ago today I was on my way into the Salt Lake Temple to marry my sweetheart for Time and All Eternity. It was the happiest day of my life. Looking back to that day, I knew without a doubt that I was supposed to marry Kevin, but I didn't yet know all of the reasons why. 11 years later I have a much better idea. He loves me for me--NO MATTER WHAT. He has taught me that marriage is hard work, but you work through whatever comes your way. He has taught me to serve others. He would give the shirt off his back for anyone. He has taught me to be a better parent. Being a father came natural to him. I, on the other hand, had a hard time with being a mother in the beginning. It was something I had to work at. Watching him has made me want to be a better parent and spend every moment with my children that I can--teaching them, playing with them, and just loving them.
I am grateful for my Eternal family and my Eternal marriage. They are my most prized possession. Thank you Kevin for a WONDERFUL 11 years. You are a better husband than I deserve. Thank you for always treating me like your princess and loving our family so much. I love you and look forward to eternity together!
