Big 7!

7 years, 3 months and 1 day ago something special happened at the spot pictured below that forever changed my life.

This is where my sweet Daniel got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.  Today is 7 years since he took me to the temple to marry him.  We have had quite the adventure in those 7 years, lots of ups and lots of downs but they have been the best 7 years!  We have moved 6 times, had 4 children, went all the way through Chiropractic school and now are working towards buying our first home.

I am grateful for the mission that he served and for the love of the Japanese people and culture that he has and shares with our family.

Sometimes I barely recognize these newly engaged kids.

I am grateful that Daniel loves our children so much.  They love having him home and snuggling with him.  He is such a wonderful example to our kids and is always trying to teach them what is right.  I have been given my 4 biggest blessings because of him and I though I go a bit crazy now and then I am truly grateful Daniel has helped me bring such wonderful children into our home.

I love you so much Daniel!  I really feel like the past 7 years have flown by so quickly.  I am grateful that we were sealed in the temple so that we can have eternity together.  That is one of the single most important things to me.  It gives me such hope knowing that we will be able to have not just this life together but we will share our lives with each other through out all eternity.  Thank you for choosing me to be your eternal companion.  I look forward to many more wonderful years together!
