My Best Man

Yesterday was a milestone anniversary, 5 years.  I was put in charge of our plans for the day and I hope it lived up to Lawrence's expectations.

Every year we go to the temple to do sealings for our anniversary.  Since our anniversary was on a Monday and temples are closed Mondays we went last Wednesday on our ward's temple night.  It is always good to be in the temple but it always feels that much more special when we are there for out anniversary.










Yesterday LM let us sleep in a little and then we went to IHOP for some yummy breakfast.  It was super tasty and fun to be together as a family.  We went home for LM to have a nap and then my brother and his wife came over to babysit LM while Lawrence and I went out for dinner.  Lawrence is a steak lover so I took him to a steak house and we had a very yummy dinner, just the two of us.  It was so good to be together just us and have some time to reconnect.  I also got Lawrence the best present ever, tickets to a Diana Krall concert (a jazz singer he really likes), and he is so excited.

But I don't just want to talk about what we did.  I want to talk about the wonderful man I married.  The last year and a half has been the hardest of our lives.  Lawrence has been so incredibly strong and has been so good to me.  At times he has carried me, sometimes kicking and screaming, other times he gave up on carrying me and just dragged me along, he has worked at a frustrating job to support our family, worked hard at school to get good grades, and he has put up with so much from me.  He has truly seen me through better and worse and because of all he has done over the last year and half I know I can count on him for the rest of eternity.  He is the best man I could have ever asked for and I love him so much more than I ever imagined I could.  I thank heaven for blessing me with my best and most favorite man.
