14 Years ago today...

I was a blushing bride beginning the most incredible journey of my life. We were both babies but we were ready to take on the world! Never in a million years did I imagine us where we are today. We have moved 4 times, bought and sold a house, bought another house, had four amazing children, changed jobs, learned and grown, laughed and cried. We have had many trials but we have also had much joy. So in honor of our 14th anniversary I am going to tell you 14 reasons why I love Adam (of course there are many, many more!)

1. He lets me have a nap every Sunday, no questions asked.
2. He listens to me cry about all my girly emotional things.
3. He has given me four of the most amazing gifts a girl could get; Matthais Ian, Emilia and Owen.
4. He loves me even with 25 extra pounds. Heck he loved me with 45 extra pounds.
5. He lets me have my me time. Even if it's just a trip to walmart without kids.
6. He'll rub my back any time I ask.
7. He takes me out almost weekly. I think he enjoys spending time with me.
8. He puts up with my disorganized ways, even though it makes him insane.
9. He never complains about the house being a mess, but he's always quick to tell me when it looks nice.
10. He is fabulous dad who is not afraid to get on the ground and play with the kids.
11. He knows my deepest desires and my darkest fears.
12. He honors his priesthood and he has a strong testimony of the gospel.
13. He encourages me to have friends and to go out with them. He understands how I feel about my friends and listens when my feelings have been hurt. He always makes me feel better.
14. He loves me more today than yesterday.
