A chance to reflect

Today my cousin Abby was married in the Salt lake temple. Not only was it a much needed break from my everyday routine, it was a great chance for me to reflect. It will be 14 years ago in February since Adam and I were married in the SLC temple. The decision to marry Adam was an easy one. At only 19 I knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that I had made the right decision. Getting married in the temple was a bit harder. I never grew up dreaming of a temple wedding. The truth is, I had never even thought about it until I met Adam. Even though I had a testimony of the gospel and of eternal families, I was torn between what I knew was the right thing to and the disappointment of my family who wouldn't be there. In the end I know I made the right decision. I can't imagine my life without Adam. He is by far my best friend. He puts up with so much and loves me in spite of my weaknesses. He has listened to my countless hours of crying and whining about my girl issues (emotional, not physical! :) ) and he always tries to make it better even though he can't. He is genuinely concerned about me and never complains when he comes home to the house in shambles. I am very lucky to have someone who loves me, the way that I am. So many times I feel like I need to change the way I am for others (yes, I know, I have issues) but I don't feel that way with Adam. With all the things I've been struggling with lately I am thankful for the rock that Adam is. He always helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel and his hugs always stop the tears. It hasn't always been easy but I can truly say I am a better person because of him. I love him more today than I did yesterday...and I didn't even think that was possible. So thank you Adam. Thank you for letting me be me and Thank you for loving me.
