Fabulous Five

Five years ago today, my dreams came true when I was married to my best friend and love of my life, Kyle. I think about the past five years and tears of gratitude come to my eyes. I honestly can't imagine a more wonderful life than the one I have been blessed with with my husband. We truly have something magical that only a handful of couples can say they have.

Today, to honor my marriage and my husband, I first want you to view this video.


Those first few moments as husband and wife are priceless. I love every memory from that day. It couldn't have been more perfect. From the weather, to the people that attended...it was just as I had hoped.

Here are some more pictures of our wedding day, and of the reception that we had 10 days later.








A Few Things I've Learned in the First 5 Years of Marriage
1. It's the little things that matter
2. The things that seem big, usually aren't that big if you just let them sit for a day
3. Welcome home kisses can turn a frustrated, tired man into a happy, tired man and they can turn a wicked witch into a wife
4. Dishes CAN wait, (so can laundry)
5. Children add SOOOOO much to marriage and life, and they add so much love to the love you already have for each other
6. Family date night can be just as fun as couple date night
7. My husband is amazing!!! I am so blessed to have the husband I have.
8. Couple prayer is always more fun when it takes 5 minutes or more to begin the prayer
9. Don't ask the husband to find anything that might be behind something else
10. Movies are funnier the second time you watch them
11. Couple time at night is worth all the craziness of the day
12. Tithing is the key
13. Start with the point. Fill in with details.
14. Listen. (I'm still working on this one. Sorry Kyle!)
15. Hugs solve lots of problems.
16. Holding hands keeps you close. (I know it seems obvious!)
17. Taking the extra time to whip the eggs isn't that big of a deal
18. Cold feet are warmed quickest on warm feet
19. Keeping the shower water running through the whole shower does make for a better shower experience
20. I love my husband!!! More and more everyday! I'm so glad I have eternity with him.

Happy Anniversary Baby Lou! I love you! XOXOXXX
