Today we celebrate eight years of bliss. Yeah right! I love my husband, but we have had our share of ups and downs. And we definitely had a rough start. We dated for two years before we were married. During that time, we faced a lot of obstacles and we both had opportunities to walk away. Plus, we didn't always have the support we would have liked. Not many couples can say that they were engaged twice - we can. But at least we laugh about it now. In the end we decided not to listen to anyone. We followed our hearts and were married in the Jordan River Temple for all eternity.It may not always be bliss, but I wouldn't change a thing. Not one thing. Because even though we have had our struggles, there is no doubt in my mind that I made the right choice. And I know we have grown closer to one another because of our trials.
There are countless things I love about my husband, but I want to share just one. In all the years I have known Brian, I can honestly say I have never heard him call another woman beautiful. Ever. Now, I know for a fact there are plenty of beautiful women in this world, plenty of stunning women, plenty of women who make me feel extremely inadequate. But, I feel beautiful in the eyes of my husband. Thank you Brian. I love you.

that was so sweet! I think if we didn't have the trials and hard times, then we wouldn't enjoy the good times as much. Congrats on 8 years of marriage!
My husband also says you are beautiful, lol! :) You guys are both such incredible people...I'm happy that I've been able to spend more time with you in the last couple of years. Also, I'm wondering where you got the frame you used on your picture? I love it. {Hope you didn't get it from me...lolol!}
