Happy Anniversary!!

Well from the events of the day, you wouldn't know that Steve and I are celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary...Cooper is sick (what else is new), and the day became a wash because we are both tired and confined to home so as not to spread the stomach flu. Nonetheless, our wedding day has been playing like a movie in my mind and I feel like it was yesterday, not 6 years ago!! I looked through our wedding pictures today and had forgotten that some people had been there and that some had not, I was surprised how different everyone looked, and I laughed at the family pictures of Steve and I with all of the nieces and nephews...so many new ones have come, and one has gone. But what didn't surprise me was how quickly the memories of my time with Steve on that day came. I remember very clearly walking down the hall in the temple to be united with him. He looked radiant. I remember sitting in a sealing room alone, and laughing over trivial things, like it was any ordinary day. I remember prompting him to say "yes" from across the altar when the time came. I remember the way his hands felt in my hands, mostly because they still feel the same way. I remember being so tired and running solely on adrenaline. I remember feeling overwhelmed before our reception and Steve sensing that and scooping me up off the floor to dance me back to a calm state. And I remember watching the clock waiting for the reception to be over so I could have him all to myself. We have made it through trials that I never thought we would have to face, and through joys that I never knew were possible. We have brought 2 amazing boys into this world, and I am always amazed that we made them!! He is truly my best friend and I know that we can do anything as long as we do it together! I love you Steve!! Happy Anniversary!
