2 Years

Today we celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary. This has been the best two years of my life. I am so blessed to be able to share it with an amazing husband and best friend. We have been through some good times and some bad yet he continues to stand by my side through it all. I was sitting with my Mom at lunch a week ago and we were talking about my upcoming anniversary. She asked me if I was still happy with the decision I made to get married. I started crying of course, tears of joy. "I couldn't be happier" was my response. I have the most patient, thoughtful, self-less husband in the world. How could I not be happy. I find myself falling more and more in love with him every single day and I know my love will just continue to grow for the rest of our lives and eternity. Steve is a fantastic husband and I know he will make a great father someday as well! I could go on and on about Steve but I think you all get what Im trying to say, which is..... I love you Steve! Thank you for taking care of me and for standing by me throughout of marriage. I can't wait to see what the next years to come have in store for us!!!

Here are some Highlights from the past 2 years

1. The number one thing we are proud to say we accomplished is gettng out of debt (except for the neccesary car and now student loan) and purchasing our first home. We love it here in North Salt Lake. I don't ever want to leave. We worked so hard to get to where we are today, especially Steve. Without him this house would not be possible.

2. Getting our puppy Tucker. Although at first I was hesitant and it was hard for the 1st year I cant imagine my life now without him. I guess you could say I kinda treat him like a child. He is my "cute cuddly boy" and Im so glad he is there to keep me company on the nights Steve is at school.. so every night :)

3. So third would have to be getting our second puppy Lacey. I was very hesitant on this one. More than Tucker. Just because of how hard Tucker was as a puppy I didnt think I could handle 2 dogs. What a blessing she was. She is the sweetest dog. So cute! She immediately calmed Tucker down and I am so thankful for that and now Tucker has a best friend to play with every day while we are at work.

4. Purchasing a new car, It was so nice that we were in the position that we needed a new car and were able to get one. It was going to cost so much money just to fix my old one.. we (when I say we, I mean our great friend Dirk) had already put a lot of work and money into it, we just didn't see how we could continue to do that. So purchasing this new car was a huge blessing. So far no problems!! Thanks for running strong for us "Maggie the Malbu"

5. Having both our families live close to us is a huge highlight. Many people don't get that opportunity and we are so glad we do. I am so greatful for all they have done for us. Steve's Mom and Dad being there for us during his surgery.. helping us out. Alyways calling to check on me wheneve I am sick.. which is often if you know me at all. All his sisters are so cute as well...They never fail at making you feel loved and welcome. I couldnt ask for a better family to be married into.
My family has been an amazing support as well. There isn't a single time that my Mom hasn't been there for me when I am going through a hard time physcially or emotionally. She has her own things to deal with but always puts me first. what an amazing Mom. And my sisters...especially you Shannon. You are my Rock! You have raised such an cute, righteous family. You are such an amazing example to me. Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on as well. All of our highlights couldn't of happened without the support of our families.

I am so very excited for this next year and the years to come. I can't wait to see what is in store for us.
