12 years!

I'm so glad to have you all in my life. Today Brandon and I are celebrating 12 years of marriage! Can you believe it!?!?! It goes by in a blink. I am so grateful to have him as a husband. He is my best friend --loves to hear all my stories, loves my passion for life and thinks I am the greatest. he never gets tired of me and that is amazing cuz I exhaust myself sometimes. Brandon is amazing. His testimony of the gospel is so solid, beyond solid and the way he lives his life proves that. He doesn't fear anything especially death. He says that if you truly believe the gospel then one would be so happy and not worry -- and he truly lives that way. He teaches Elder's quorum and I am always amazed by his lessons and how much knowledge he has not only of the gospel but church history etc etc. He has an incredible way of explaining things so that one can understand with ease. He is such a wonderful Father- he finds every excuse to play with his kids and is very involved with their education in school and the world. He even plays Nintendo with them and is always interested in what they are interested in. He has so much love for our family. And though he can seem tough on the outside he treats me like a princess and has never expected anything from me but love. He never puts me down or belittles me, he is always complimenting me in one way or another ... oh there is so much I could say. I guess I wish that I could be more like him. We joke that we are complete opposites and sometimes when we fight we say that we are too different but in reality we are a perfect match and he is VERY similar to me as far as interests, hopes, dreams, ambition and desire. We are the same in all the important things. And really that is all that matters. I love him more that words can describe and that why we say "I that other thing you". We've been through so much together as mom would say we could write a book! Through it all, especially trials, it has only brought us closer together. He's my man for eternity. Cheers to a great 12 years!
