Seven Years Ago . . .

. . . . Brad said Yes!

Ha Ha! that is kind of a Joke. For those of you who are wondering if I proposed to him, close, but no I just wore him down until he gave in and proposed to me. ( A good story for another time)

I always say that I knew I liked Brad and wanted to date him from the first time he spoke to me. And for those of you who know Brad you know those can be rare moments! ;) But that is when I began to see who he really was and how awesome he is.

Bountiful Temple

I've learned a couple things since marrying Brad.

1. I 've come to realize that I've married my complete opposite.

- I talk too much, he talks too little

- the foods I like most are the foods he doesn't care for

- I like to dance to music in the car - he tries to hide when I do this so that

people don't know he is with me

- I like to talk to people, he often prefers not to

- He can tell the make/model of a car from 100 ft away with no hints I am still trying to remember which car we have ;)

. . . the list goes on

2. I've come to realize that it is probably a good thing (sometimes) that I married my complete opposite.

- fighting really doesn't happen- he has never yelled at me- it is hard to yell at someone who isn't yelling back (this is not to say disagreements don't happen)

- he is very patient

- if I am going to be talking alot it is a good thing he is there to listen, right?

- Having a social wife sometimes makes him be more social too (I think this is a good thing)

. . . the list goes on

I am glad that he showed up to the temple that day! ;)

I am glad that we are married in the temple.

I am glad that we have two amazing, beautiful children and that they got some of his good traits.

I am glad that I married a good man, a good father!

I am glad that I married my best friend.

I guess you could say I'm a pretty lucky girl!
