FIFTEEN!

The best three days of my life are...
1. My Wedding Day.
2. The Birth Days of my children (it's a 4 way tie).
3. The day I won a game show (some day I'll put it on YouTube).

Yes...it was our 15 year anniversary this week (feels kind of strange!), and my wedding day will always be number one. The most spiritual and in love high. Russ and I were in such la la land though that we were in our own world. We honestly had no idea what was going on around us because we were in the clouds. We drove everyone crazy. But the Spirit was so very strong bearing witness that we were making the right choice. We were charting the course for the rest of eternity with endless hopes and dreams and possibilities ahead.

And 15 years later, I am still happy to say that I know why it was the best day of my life! Russ is amazing and we are a great match. My weaknesses his strengths and his mine. He loves me just the way I am. He has never criticized me once ever (and there is a lot he could!). I catch him staring at me all the time and he tells me how beautiful I am. This always makes me blush. He opens doors for me. He holds my hand. In crowds he always puts his hand on the small of my back to keep me close. He always calls during the day just to say hi and that he loves me. He supports me in all I do and lets me spend what ever I want. And his body, geesh. He is only getting hotter with age. He always wants to do what is right. He is a man of perfect integrity. But best of all, I love laughing with him. Laugh laugh laugh. I could do that all day!

So Happy 15th to us and may the next 15 be just as great but with many more laugh lines added to our faces! Thank you for loving me.

I love it! I remember thinking of you on your wedding day - while I was in Chile. I might have been a BIT depressed that I wasn't there with you. : )

Thanks for being such good examples of how to do it right, because even though life hasn't been a perfectly easy road for you, somehow you don't take it out on each other. GOOD example for me. Thanks, and much love!
