Happy Anniversary to My Sweetheart!


It is hard to believe that just five years ago Ben and I were sealed together for time and all eternity. Looking back it has been an eventful five years with moves, job changes, the birth of our wonderful little boy, and many other blessings and challenges. Not a day goes by that I don't think about how blessed I am to have such a wonderful husband! He is my best friend, confidant, counselor, comedian, and my rock, among other things. I thought I would take a moment and let Ben know just a few of the things I love so much about him:


1. your smile

2. the beautiful color of your eyes

3. how you support me in all I do

4. how you rub my feet every morning

5. how you hold my hand when we are out in public

6. your compliments

7. how you call me on your way home from work to see how my day was

8. how you send me emails just to say "I Love You!"

9. how hard you work for our family

10. your desire to find a hobby we can enjoy together

11. your unconditional love

12. your forgiveness and tender heart when I fall short

13. your ability to make me laugh even when I try not too

14. how you can fix anything

15. how lovingly you play with Tyson

16. how you love to spend time with Tyson and I

17. how photogenic you are

18. how you strive to live worthy of your priesthood

19. how you try so hard to understand me when at times I don't understand myself

20. how you make up little songs

21. your patience with my indecisiveness

22. how we seem to always think and say the same things

23. your encouragement

24. how you strive to excel in all you do

25. your imagination

26. your hugs and sweet kisses

27. how you talk in your sleep sometimes

28. the little things you do to help me

29. how you twitch just as you're falling asleep

30. the fact that we will be together forever!!!


Here's to an eternity of many more happy momories! I love you, Ben!


HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
