All You Need is Love

Marriage is the best, hardest, most wonderful thing I have ever done.  

I wouldn't change this last year for the world.  Even though I've been stretched, changed, and grown more than I would have thought imaginable, I love it.

So far, the ten best things about being married:

1.   Someone is always there to hug me when I cry for no reason.

2.   I have learned how to pray for someone else more than I pray for myself.

3.   I live with Prince Charming, and he loves romance.

4.   He thinks I'm awesome even when I burn cookies (which I have definitely done).

5.   I am protected in all arenas.

6.   He pretends to be awake and talk to me when I need it (he does try really hard!).

7.   I get to watch him fast and pray for our family and future.

8.   He unplugs drains I consistently stop up (I lose a ton of hair.  And, one time, I put rose-stems down the drain in the kitchen... Oops.)

9.   I don't have to kill any bugs, ever.

10. I get to be around my best friend all of the time.  It's like a constant sleepover.

Don't get me wrong, there are really hard days.  The best thing about it all, though, is that it is forever.
