9 Years and Counting

Just wanted to wish my sweetie a happy anniversary today.  We have recently become big fans of Mindy Gledhill’s new CD Anchor, so I just wanted to dedicated this little song to you Nathan.

My favorite verse in the song is:
You could give me all that I request
And if you fancy, Darling be my guest
But I’ll take less
If more means having less of you
We may not have a big house, or drive fancy cars, or take expensive vacations, or any of the “finer” things of life, but we have so much more.  We have a house full of love, lots to laugh at, adorable children, an open and honest relationship, temple ordinances that bind us – all the things we need to have joy in this lifetime.
I love you Nathan.  Thank you for the constant laughter, great hugs, even better kisses, kindness, understanding, support, and love.  You’re the best!


I just wanted to add a little addendum to this.  Last night as we were going to bed, we did our usual little play fight of "I love you more" and then Nathan hops out of bed because he says that he can "prove" that he loves me more.  He brings back to me a card that has a sweet little sentiment of "Now and Always - the only two times I want to be with you."  Sweet, right?  But get this he hadn't even signed it or bothered to put it in the envelope.  So he snatches it back from me (so nice) and then proceeds to grab a pen and sign it.  But do you think he puts some sweet pet name in there or writes I love you - no way....



And they say romance is dead.  I don't think so - I think romance just got a sense of humour :)  I think I laughed until I cried after that.  But honestly, that is what I love most about Nathan.  He knows exactly how to make me laugh - and we laugh together everyday!

I was thinking about you two this morning when I looked at my phone and saw the date! Glad it's a wonderful anniversary, so happy for you both.

P.S. Annabelle is still completely stuck on Mandy. I told her Nana was coming to visit and she said, "And Mandy too!"
