12 Years down....Eternity to go


August 8, 1998
It seemed so natural at the time to be getting married. I knew I had found the man I wanted to be with for eternity. But I have to admit when I look at our wedding pictures now, I am amazed at how young we were. The only thing that really matters is that age didn't matter. I made an amazing choice and I love Courtney more today than I ever thought possible. We have had to endure some tough times but those times have only made the great times that much more amazing. I feel truly blessed to be where I am now.

So here are my 12 things I love about Courtney:
  1. He always sees the positive in every situation.
  2. His sense of humor ensures I am smiling a lot.
  3. He is such a hard worker.
  4. He always supports me in everything I do.
  5. He helps out around the house.
  6. He makes some yummy food.
  7. He doesn't complain about the "honey do" lists.
  8. He "plays"/wrestles with the kids.
  9. He is my rock.
  10. He is a great father.
  11. He honors his priesthood.
  12. He loves ME.
Here is an example of one of my honey do jobs. I saw a washer/dryer stand on another blog and decided I had to have one. So, we headed off and bought the supplies and even went and borrowed the necessary saw. Courtney even did all the painting after it was built. Then, when I was gone to girls night on Saturday, he moved it in and even lifted the washer and dryer up on it all by himself. I was so excited. It turned in to quite the fun gift.
