Happy 10th Anniversary






We are celebrating our 10 year anniversary tomorrow. We were married December 30th 1999. I can't believe it has been that long already. It truly seems like yesterday that I met this wonderful man on a crazy blind date. It has been an amazing 10 years. I wanted to share the top ten reasons that I love being married to Dave.

10. He is so funny and so fun to be around. I hate it when he is gone. When he moonlights or is on call overnight it is so quiet and boring. There is no sweeter sound than the garage door opening in the morning.
9. He is so compassionate. He truly cares for others whether it is his patients or my family or complete strangers. He would give the shirt off his back if someone needed it.
8. This goes with 9 but he wears his heart on his sleeve. My sisters and I always make fun of him for this but I love it. If it is a wedding, a talk in church, testimony meeting, or he is just feeling happy he gets all choked up. It is the cutest thing.
7. He is so frugal and smart with money. He could live in a cardboard box if that meant he had 10 dollars in his savings account.
6. He is so spiritual and knowledgeable about the gospel. He teaches me and makes me want to be better all the time. He is the most honest person I have ever met.
5. He can do ANYTHING. I when I say anything I mean it. He can do landscape, electrical, plumbing, build anything(like a house) or anything you can dream up, fix cars, do computer stuff I mean the list goes on and on. He also wins everything (which I find extremely annoying) It could be mini golf, or the wii and Xbox, to any sport or just good old board games, Dave is always the winner.
4. He is very smart. He did graduate from medical school.
3. He is a wonderful dad. He loves his kids so much. He provides for them, is an example to them, and loves to play with them. The kids favorite game is chasing game with dad. If Logan and Ethan turn out to be like their dad I will be the happiest mom in the world.
2. He gives the best advice. To me or my sisters you name it. He is always there to listen if you need him.
1. And last but not least, he truly loves me. He shows me and tells me that he loves me all the time. He is an amazing husband and I don't know how I got so lucky to meet someone like him. I don't think I could have dreamed up a better husband.

These past ten years have been the best of my life. Dave has made it all happen and we have three amazing children to show for it. It has been a lot of work and a lot of play and I wouldn't change one minute for anything. Happy Anniversary Dave. I love you.
