it's been 8 years today since doug and i knelt together in the temple and promised to love each other, hold each other and uplift each other - for time and all eternity. i'm not going to lie... it hasn't always been easy, there's been rough days - but more good ones. i remember one of the young women asking me once how i knew it was time to marry him and my response was - "when there was more things about him i liked than i didn't like." i certainly wouldn't be where i am in my life without him - and i know that i made the right choice. knowing that he loves me and our babies means more to me than i could ever explain and i know that he's the one i want to spend my eternities with.
after all - "the greatest gift a father can give his children is to love their mother."
today also brings my 500th post on my little blog that probably no one reads, but what matters is that i made a goal to keep it going and i have! it's kind of like my journal and i love to look back at what i was doing, where i was, who i was with and how life was at the time. i've had two kids since i started - along with so many other things happening. but here it is! 500 of them. hope you've enjoyed - and prepare yourselves for the next 500. i am not a quitter, so you'll have to put up with me for a long time yet!
