Friday evening Chris and I drove to the Salt Lake Temple to do some family sealings. On our way we talked about our favorite memories from the time that we met up until now. I hadn't realized how much we've done together until we started our list. I am so grateful for these beautiful memories! I think it's important to regularly look back on the blessings and great times that we have in our lives. It makes us thankful and gives us a sense of happiness and fulfillment.
No one knows but, before we went to the temple on our wedding day we decided to go to Einstein's for a bagel. We had left Provo a lot earlier than we needed to (We were nervous that we would be late for our own wedding.) So, we had a whole bunch of extra time to kill. :) We only though it appropriate to return back to that same little Einstein's bagel shop up in the avenues. While we sat outside the shop and talked, Chris had his cousin Robert show up in a suit to surprise me with a large bouquet of beautiful flowers. I can always tell when Chris is going to do something "cute" because he always gets this quirky smile on his face moments before it happens. It really is quite adorable but... a dead giveaway!
The temple was magnificent as usual. I cried as we held hands and were able to "repeat" in a sense our marriage. There is no greater joy than knowing I will be able to be with my husband and little Jeremiah forever.
To seal up all of the goodness at the end of the day we went to The Roof. It truly was a magical time. I wish that for a while I could just freeze time at that moment and linger a little longer.
Being Married to Chris is such a joy. Each day is an adventure that I look forward to. I wake-up with a skip in my step and a smile on my face just because I know that I am his wife. He is such a hard worker and is always concerned for mine and Jeremiah's wellbeing. I love that he leaves me little notes every so often just to remind me that he loves me. He knows exactly what I need and what keeps me going. He is romantic. He is funny. He is smart. He is honest. He is good. He is strong. He is talented. He is everything I could ever want and more.
Chris and I have been quite blessed. But, marriage isn't always sunshine and roses. There are definitely some cloudy and rainy days. But, the rain isn't so bad when you walk through it together. Throughout the course of our marriage I have learned much of sacrifice, selflessness, love, devotion, forgiveness, and how to become more like the Savior. What a beautiful plan our Father in Heaven has created. I am so thankful for the joy that the gospel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints brings into my life.
