WOW!!! OK not WOW I mean YIPPEE, HOORAY!!! Jason and I have now been married nine years, next year will be the big TEN. I can say it has been very much worth it and I am very much happy. If there is someone out there that marriage is easy and not work, I would like to know their secret. Well I can see for some people marriage being easy if you have two easy going people, but that is NOT Jason and I for sure. When we got married I was 26 and Jason was 31, we had both lived on our own, and kind of set in our ways, stubborn, strong willed, and opinionated. Combination of that we have butt heads a lot, but getting through all that has been work, but work that has made it worth it for sure.
The quote I am not sure who said it is true:
"Any Good Man and any good woman can make a good marriage!"
You have to work at it, look past the things that don't really matter and look at what is important and what is best for you and your family. Not compare yourself to other peoples families because you don't live with them and know what goes on in their home. What might be right and good for my family may not be right and good for another.
Jason and I have a lot of things in common, which I think was the biggest reason we were attracted to each other. He is a saver and very good with money, and I am pretty frugal myself. Jason is a very good looking guy and has the most amazing smile ever; he smiles a lot and I love that. He is a hard worker and gives it 110% at anything he does until it is perfect. We love to go camping, we got our kayaks and have enjoyed them together. We both like to snow ski even though I am so much more timid in my old age. I guess I have more at stake if I get hurt so I am more cautious now. He has always had a strong testimony, but Jason is amazing these past months he has been in the bishopric and we have been blessed in so many ways. He is out of his comfort zone in some ways in his calling, but he does so great and everyone loves him. I am so blessed to have a Jason as mine!! I love you!!

Happy anniversary! Congratulations on making it 9 years. Next year will be 8 for Adam and I. Marriage is a lot of work, but it's good work because it's for someone you love so much.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! Happy Anniversary to you two. Amen to your quote and thoughts, anything worth doing is Work. Family and marriage are the hardest and best things we could ever do, its heart-work and I'm so glad we can live and learn through it and become better for the effort. :) Your family is darling and we're so excited to see you soon! Hugs!
