Four years ago this day I said, "Yes!"
Not to any politician . . . Not to any amendment . . .
Rather, to an awesome man who wanted to marry me.
Best decision I've ever made. I'm tempted to write a very, very long post about my husband . . . but I'll sum it up with these eight points of gratitude:
He lets me put my cold hands under his shirt to warm them up.
He eats whatever I cook, so long as there are no walnuts or avocados in it.
He's never shot me when after a bad day I've asked him to.
He plays with Sammy.
He doesn't waste our time together on video and computer games even though after a bad day, I know he's tempted.
He read J.D. Salinger and Roald Dahl with me in the NICU as I tried to forget the pressure I was under to nurse our newborn baby.
He sings for me on demand.
He makes up stories for me when I can't fall asleep, even though I know he hates the pressure to be spontaneously creative. (You know I was happy with the scene by scene retelling of Ghostbusters . . . )
So Jonathan, for all this and more, thank you.
UPDATE: Changed the picture. The one I had up before was driving me nuts even before I posted it. Blog post of gratitude to anyone who can say where we were when this was taken!

Just so you know, I am enjoying all of these posts. I did a post every day last November and it was fun, even on the days where I just said random crap.
I'm guessing this picture was taken near some American government building. DO I WIN!?
@Betsy - Close but no cigar! PS: Glad to hear you may be returning to BYU! Fantastic!
