4 Years.

 Yesterday marks 4 years since Dennis and I were married.





In four years...

-We have traveled to Yellowstone (for our honeymoon the summer after we were married), San Francisco, and many times all over Utah.
-We have attended the Spanish Branch since the Sunday we got home from our wedding.
-Dennis has been patient with me through many many college classes, college internships, college rantings, college commuting, college bills... And I'm still not finished.
-We became parents.
-I have spent every second I can with him. I'm a little selfish that way.
-We became debt free but the house. Live like no one else...
-Dennis crossed off my bucket list: drive through movie, Yellowstone, marriage & mommyhood. Hopefully the grand canyon and some foreign country (Canada doesn't count) will be next. (wink wink!)
-He's never given me any legitimate reason to be mad at him... Except for this one canoe ride (which was definitely not my fault!)...
-Dennis has done 95% of the dishes, and %75 of the cooking. I'm working on that...
-When I do cook, he never says bad things about it... Even when it's disgusting.
-Dennis has listened to more 80's pop music than he would ever care to in an entire lifetime.
-I have listened to more old honky tonk music than I would ever care to in an entire lifetime. ;)
-I don't mind it so long as I get to be in the same car with him.
-We've held hands. A lot.
-We've kissed. A lot.
-We've been to the Mt. Timpanogos, Twin Falls, Boise, Idaho Falls, & Rexburg Temples.
-Dennis has cheered on his cheerleader at many volleyball, basketball & football games. He's also cheered on my cheerleaders at more junior high and high school athletic events than I can count. That takes love. And patience.
-He has never raised his voice at me.We disagree sometimes, but I really don't think we've ever fought. Sometimes I think love is expressed best in the things that are not said, rather than the things that are.
-However, I think we've said I love you in some way every day.
-I have never been so purely happy.

Four years have gone by fast. Dennis sure has put up with a lot from me! Daily he amazes me with his extreme patience, selfless service, and just pure amazing-ness.

Thank you for these past 4 years. I could never ask for such happiness and love to fill my life, but it just gets better every day!
