the 10 year milestone.

I got the jitters this morning at 4am and couldn't go back to sleep, just the way I did 10 years ago.  Who'd have thought 10 years could go by so fast, yet be so jam-packed full of goodness?  I can't hold back the tears when I think of all that we've become through this journey so far together.  An RM marrying a teenager, feeling so ready to take on life but being so naive all at the same time.  We did it though.  And we've done it the right way. 

10 years later, we find ourselves with a family, three beautiful children and one more on the way.  We've trekked through nine years of student life, late hours, neverending study sessions, and bringing three children into the mix along the way.  We've suffered through tragedy, comforted in wee morning hours, and joyed in triumphs.  We have changed diapers, heard first words, taken Emergency room trips, cuddled up to small warm bodies, rocked and bounced, and have begun to see the little personalities we created take shape.  We've turned to the Lord in times of need and times of plenty and have always been blessed immensely.  We've attended the temple often, learned in it's beauty, and tried to become better through it.  It's all so beautiful.  

I'm so glad that I can be one to say that I love my husband, even more than I thought I loved him then.  And I can't wait to take on the next 10 years.  I love you, baby!
