The Life we Share

Today Mr. Stannix and I celebrate seven years of marriage. I always knew that I wanted to be married young and have a big family, but I never knew that life could be so sweet. I adore this man of mine and all that he does for us. He treats me good. He is gentle. He is kind and ever forgiving. He is always a "man on a mission" and even though he sometimes walks ten feet ahead of me when we're at the movie theater, I couldn't have asked for anyone better to spend forever with.I love our inside jokes, and the way he makes me laugh even when I might not feel like it. We have been with each other in the best and the worst of times and grown so much closer than I could have imagined. He has made all of my dreams come true and more! Happy anniversary sweetheart!

Wow that was a nice post sweetie!!  I am curious to see how long it takes for you to see this....probably not very long.  I love how well you document the most important things in our life.  I wanted to say a few words on our 7th anniversary that our children can read later when they are married.  You have taught me so many things over the years, but probably the most profound thing that I have learned from you is that happiness in family life comes from selfless service.  As I have tried to keep up to you always being 10 steps ahead of me, walking the life of service, I have found great joy in the acts of service to our children and each other.  Thank you so much for your inspiring counsel 6 years ago which changed everything for us!  Truly there was a small shout for joy from at least a few of Heavenly Father's spirits when you helped me understand the importance of having children.  That was the best decision we have ever made and will ever make as a couple!  I cherish the short moments when bursts of laughter erupt while brushing our teeth, or when I try and read to you - because we both know how awful I am at reading and emphasizing emotions in books :).  I was told before I was married that marriage will often bring surprises, things you learn about each other.  I can honestly say I have been surprised over the last 7 years, but EVERY surprise has been a sweet reflection of your inner beauty and has made me want to be a better person and I thank you for that and a life filled with love!  I love you...Happy Anniversary Sweetie!
