4 Years ago

4 years ago, June 10, I got married. I sealed my love for time and all eternity to a man names DJ. 4 years ago, a man who is patient, kind, loving, funny, sweet, strong, charitable, full of service, faithful, (pretty much perfect for me), allowed me to become part of his life forever. Yes forever - always; an endless or seemingly endless period of time; At all times. (dictionary.com). And I couldn't love the meanings of those words more! Epecially when it come to being with DJ.

4 years ago I wore a beautiful white dress. I had found the perfect one. 4 years ago we kissed for the first time as a married couple. 4 years ago many people came to celebrate with us. At our reception there were splashes of white, blue and yellow everywhere. 4 years ago there was a once in a life time cake, bouquet, hairdo, make-up, a once in a lifetime feeling. Increible feelings


4 years ago we moved to Rexburg, Idaho. We were newly weds, students with all the same classes, spending tons of time together, except when we were working.
4 years ago we lived in an attic, made lots of new friends, slept in as much as possible, went on dates, played ltos of games, watched lots of movies.

4 years LATER things area differnt than 4 years ago. A LOT different. But things are still great! Things couldn't be better. We are begining a new life in Virginia. We have many things we always wanted, always dreamed of.

4 years later we have two beautiful children. 4 years later, DJ nearly has his bachelors degree and has started on his road of his dream career. Things can get loud, messy and chaotic a lot easirer. 4 years later we still have a home full of love. 4 years later, we have learned a lot of lessons, created a lot of memories.

4 years later we live in an incredible place. Virginia Beach Virgina and who would have thought that 4 years ago?

4 years later, things are busy. VERY busy. There is not as much time. Somehow a 16 hours day, doesn't feel like it anymore. DJ is is the bishopric, I am in the primary presidency, there are kids to take care of, an apartment to clean, sunshine to play in, things to read and write and catch up on, a job that DJ has to take part int every day.
*And I can't picture a better picture in my mind than that of which we are partaking of every day.

4 years later, to this very day, to this very minute. I love DJ with all of my heart, mind and soul. He makes me want to be better. He still has all of those qualities I love and more. 4 years later we are still getting closer together, though things are always changing. There is time for kisses, time for laughter, time for love.

It's amazing how much can happen in just a few years! (Although I think you've had more happen in your four years than we have in our three!) Congratulations, and happy anniversary a few days late!
