Red Hot Nature

Happily ever after...well, not always! But when you have your best friend to share every day with, how can life not always be great? By focusing all our energy on each other, we're creating a marriage that will last through the eternities. We have created this blog to share our lives with our family, friends, and the future family we'll create together. "Marriage is a gift from God to us. The quality of our marriages is a gift from us to him." ~Elder L. Whitney Clayton

First Valentine's Day

Since Zach is in the young men's, he had his boys doing a Valentine's activity.  He had them write their mom's a note about why they love them.  He wrote a letter to me. His boys were making fun of him because of how much he wrote to me and he said, "Well yeah, I want my marriage to last!"  That was Wednesday night and I knew the boys were writing the letters to their mothers, but I had no idea he had written one for me. Valentine's was the next day (Thursday) and I couldn't find my car keys anywhere. I thought, "Oh he must have driven my car to young men's last night and left my keys in it."  I went out to my car, and sure enough, there were my keys on the driver's seat, next to this...



What a sweet husband I have!

I was really lame and gave him a talk on tape about marriage from Deseret Book called "For All Eternity" by Dr. John L. Lund.  I gave him two tickets to do the zipline in Provo so we'll be doing that in the summer.

Then, I got home to find this:


AND...a belt for my belt buckle with my initials on it!

What joy marriage brings to our lives. I sure love my Valentine!  It's not secret that I don't really care much for the commercialism in holiday, especially Valentine's, but don't jump to conclusions too quickly, I did participate in the romance of the holiday by creating this little diddy and sending it to him in a text message randomly during the day!
