"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

12 Amazing years!

Our 12th anniversary was this year!  May 15th.  The weekend before, we went on a little overnighter :).  Heidi and John babysat.  Jack is still on Mommy Moo Juice, so he had to come with us, but we still managed to have a good time.  We went and saw Safe Haven (Heidi's recommendation) SUCH a good movie!!  I LOVED the ending!  Almost cried, but not quite.  I really liked the story.  Then we went to Famous Dave's and then headed up to the hotel.  It's always nice to spend time together, but when it can be away from life for a whole day and night, it's just heavenly.  Jack enjoyed the attention as well :).  Soaked it all up.

On our actual anniversary, we were able to spend almost the entire day together.  I LOVED that.  We were both in such a good mood most of the day.  We did have to go up to the old house and clean a few things thanks to our stupid Landlord who suddenly doesn't like us because we didn't use him to buy our house.  But the rest of the day was very pleasant.  Then in the evening, Nate took me out to see Iron Man 3.  I wasn't AS in love with that movie as I was Safe Haven, may have been because Jack didn't love it.  He and I spent a small portion of it out in the hallway. But other than that, I thought we had a great evening.

I always like to talk about how much I love Nate, but I'm just running out of words to describe it.  My love has grown so much from that first day.  Which is hard to believe considering the power of my love for  him that I could hardly contain as we sat together in the Celestial Room 12 years ago, waiting to make that special covenant with our Heavenly Father.  The sweet twinkle in his eyes.  The adoring smile as I came out of the dressing room in my wedding dress.  I will never forget that moment.  And to think that my love has grown.  It's amazing how time and a few (okay, seven) kids can strengthen that sealing.  I love that we are the couple that we are.  I love how he treats me, and I hope that I treat him okay too.  It's nice to know that I will be taken care of forever and that I will have someone to live for.  He is everything to me.  I really don't know what I would do without him, emotionally, physically, mentally, he just makes my life whole.
Mushy, I know, but true.
I love my honey.
Happy Anniversary Babe!
