Happy SIX years, Baba!

Today marks 6 years since the day my best friend and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Manti Temple. Our time together has been filled with so many things. Happy, sad, funny, embarrassing, joyous, heartbreaking, shocking and exciting. Things I never could have dreamed we would go through together and things I always dreamed we would.

I have said this a lot of times before, but today I am reminded again of how lucky I am to have found such a great guy, find out that he loves me and wants to spend his life and more with me, and then actually get to live this life with him. We have 3 beautiful children, a wonderful home and more than we could ever need. Together we have built this life. It's not always perfect, actually it rarely is, but somehow through all the craziness, the lack of time, the busy schedules and many commitments, we find a way to come together. To support each other. To lift and listen and care.

So thank you, Baba. Thank you for hearing me when I don't say anything at all. Thank you for knowing just what I need and helping me get it. Thank you for making me better than I ever could be alone. Thank you for showing me the best way to be happy. I love you more today than ever before. For the person you were when you took me to the Temple, and for the person you have become as we have been together. I admire and love you. Happy #6.

As I looked for a picture of Steve and I alone, I couldn't find one. Then I realized that Steve and I aren't ever Steve and I. We are a family of 5. Attached to our limbs are 3 little ones who cling to our livelihood and need every ounce of time and attention we have. We have been given a gift that we talked and dreamed of having together. I felt it only appropriate to have a picture of all of us on this special day. This is Steve and I on our Sixth Anniversary. How very lucky we are!
