11 Years...It seem's like yesterday and yet it seems like it's been forever


It seems like just yesterday we were walking out of the Temple hand in hand. I remember thinking "that's it, now were married"? Doug always gave me a gift every month for the first year of marriage. I remember thinking as the months went on-"wow 10 months and 11 months-what will it feel like when it's 10 years." Now it's been 11 years. It's funny how it also feels like its been 20 or 30. Not in a bad way, just that we have always been together.



Home Rules-I love this:

Always be honest
Count your blessings
Bear each other's burdens
Forgive and forget
Be kind and tender hearted
Comfort one another
Keep your promises
Be proud of each other
Be true to each other
Look after each other
Treat each other Like you treat your friends
but most important...
LOVE ONE ANOTHER ~ deeply from the heart

There are scriptures that go along with each phrase. I am proud to say that I think we live these rules daily and feel blessed to have a wonderful marriage. It hasn't been easy by any means. However, it's all been worth it and I look forward to many more fabulous years. I love you babe.
