This is an extremely overdue post. For those of you who know me well, I've experienced a lot lately, with the health of loved ones and passing of one of them. I'm emotionally drained AND super busy, so you'll have to excuse the lack of posts lately.
This post makes me super happy. I love my hubby, he keeps me sane and joyful. (The world is grateful I'm sure, you don't want to see me insane and upset) We celebrated our 5 year anniversary on June 26, 2009. That sounds like a long time to me but it really hasn't felt that long. We've been together NINE years, NINE! That is 36% of my entire life. I honestly can't remember what life was like without him. For our 5 year anniversary we went to The Anniversary Inn in Logan:
This awesome bed and breakfast has themed rooms. On our honeymoon we stayed in the Romeo and Juliet suite and after we were sealed in the temple we stayed in The Mysteries of Egypt room. Obviously, it's how we like to celebrate. This time we choose Rich's Drive-In, which is a room that is decorated like- you guessed it, a drive-in. It has a truck in the middle of the room and in the truck bed is the actual bed where you sleep. It has a huge projector and screen on the wall to watch movies. It even has a little concessions area with popcorn and hot dogs. TONS of fun. We watched 'Father of the Bride', I had forgotten how cute that show is, and 'Twilight.' Matt pointed out that the truck that Bella drives around in the movie is just like the one we were sleeping in :
Matthew took me to get dinner and then he popped this surprise on me:
It's amazingly hard to get a focused picture of a ring, but you can sort of see what I'm showing you; an anniversary band with little diamonds across it. My hubby knows how to make me smile. We had an awesome time and I always like it when I can spend time with just Matthew, without any distractions. (Not you Mr. Andrew, if you ever look back and read this, we don't like being away from you for too long) I won't go on and on about how much I love Matthew for too much longer because I am sure you are all searching for you barf buckets by now but I'll keep it short; 5 things I love about him for the 5 years we've been together.
Matthew,
1. Through the years you've always loved me for me. I look at lot different (not necessarily for the better) than I did when I was 16, and you can stand to look at me in the morning. I know when I'm 90 I'll be just as beautiful to you then as I am now.
2. You are an amazingly hard worker, I owe it to you that I can stay at home with Andrew.
3. As people have even mentioned; you have strong integrity. Even to a fault at times, if that even makes sense.
4. You make me laugh so hard without even trying, and then you get upset that I'm laughing and it makes me laugh even harder.
5. As difficult as it is at times to be a heart mommy and as much strength as that takes, it is just as difficult to be a heart daddy. You do it with such grace and strength. You are my rock and when you take time off work to meet us at Primary's the sorrow I carry is suddenly lifted and I am not alone.
Love you Matthew, always have, always will.
