12 Years and More in Love Than Ever

My honey and I just celebrated our 12 wedding anniversary. I love this first picture because it captures our relationship perfectly, we are so close and I lean on him for everything!! I couldn't have asked for a better companion to spend life with. I still get so excited waiting for him to come home or thinking about going out on a date with him.

He is such a support to me. He listens endlessly to my babbling, he is such a good example to me that just being around him makes me want to be a better person. He is sooo patient. He is super fun with the kids and plans lots of fun activities for us. He has always provided well for our family and has great financial sense. He loves to serve in the church and is a worthy priesthood holder. He loves to share the gospel and I can't wait to serve a mission with him. He loves education and is constantly teaching all of us.

I am so in love and am glad I get to spend the rest of eternity with my best friend.

That was such a sweet post J!! I loved it! It was funny because as I was reading it it sounded exactly how I would've described my love for Carl! haha Isn't it great after years of college, babies etc...that one's husband can still make us giddy?!

Oh yes...as for the bike rides...let's do it for sure! My plan is to get each child a bike, helmet etc.. before April. And then watch out...we're biking everywhere! haha (Actually we just may be if gas prices keep rising!) Have a great Saturday!

Awww! So cute! It is so crazy that I remember you two riding in our van up to lake of the woods with us one family vacation when I Guess you guys got engaged or were engaged shortly after. I remember looking at the two of you and wondering what it was like to be in love. Now I know and it is wonderful! Congratulations!
