My Wonderful Husband



Well I guess as the title explains this is one of those posts where I just need to get some things off my chest that make me grateful for my husband. And yes that is him in the pic. Recently our best friends informed us they were filing for divorce. We hang out with this couple on a weekly basis and enjoy spending time with both of them. Questions include why and what happened to take the final straw? Also along with the confusing and sadness comes the joy of having an eternal companion that loves me and I love him more than life itself. Matt and I have talked about how our long time friendship has helped our marriage significantly. As we sat in the temple that day I remember how scared and unsure I was but the reassuring look in Matt's eyes made everything ok. Our marriage is not perfect but we are working on it everyday. At moments of doubt I am reminded of the look that Matt had on his face that day in the temple when we took that huge commitment upon ourselves one of peace and reassurance. Mom #2, Brit, Tiff, and Ris I can't thank you enough for the man you have helped to shape my husband into. I guess my hope for this post will be that regardless of the faults you find in your special someone to always focus on their strengths and what made you fall in love with them in the first place.
