Four Years

Four years ago, I was sitting in an apartment in Provo. It was dark. I was watching Pride and Prejudice (the BBC masterpiece) and a cute, nervous boy was sitting next to me, holding my hand.

Shortly after the movie ended and that shy boy worked up the nerve to say what was on his mind, he asked if I would like to be his girlfriend. And I said I'd love to.

And I have loved being his girlfriend, fiance, wife, confidant, cheerleader, shoulder to cry {& sleep} on, snuggle buddy, hand to hold, travel mate, fellow late-night-snacker, co-adventurer, dancing partner, fashion adviser, best friend, and companion. He has been and is all these things for me and more.

What an adventure we embarked on four years ago.

Postscript: I just need the world to know that this man wakes up with me at 5 AM to make me breakfast during the busy work days.
Voluntarily.
Without complaint.
And it's always so yummy.
He's a keeper, I know.
