Hearts broke all over Vernal on April 1,
1999! Who could blame them! After all two of the
most eligible and extremely goodlooking people were now off the
market!
It all started when Micheal spotted me at a softball game. My
beauty captivated him all the way from the outfield. It was one of those love at first sight, fireworks, violins in the background moments for him but not so much for me! It didn't take him too long to convince me that I was in love with him. He was quite persistance! No matter where I was, he just "happened" to be there too. He would wait for me while I closed up at my job at Burger's unlimited and ask to drive me home. He was borderline stalker! He wore down my resistance with his charm, his tranquilizing blue eyes, and his cheesy lines!
So here we are nine years later, five kids later, and I adore him so much more than I did when our love was new and exciting..and lusty!
This man seriously is the most amazing husband ever! He is still into me even though I have a mother(mutilated) body. He thinks I'm Martha FRICKIN Stewart. He changes butts, does housework, puts kids to bed. He watches sappy romantic movies with me and pretends to like them. (He really does like them, he would rather die than admit it.) He takes care of Family Home Evenings, family scripture study, family prayer AND couple scripture study and prayers. He buys me flowers every week. Over the years I have mentioned things that I wish he would do differently or improve on or change and he does it! He is always bringing home marriage self help books (not that we need them...ok maybe we need them but what couple doesn't) and he reads them and follows the advise in them. It is amazing to me that he has always been active in make our marriage successful and he gives it all of his energy! He sacrifices so much for our family. He would do anything to provide for us. He slays dragons for me! My only hope for the next nine years is that I can be a better wife for him. I could keep going on like this forever but I wouldn't want everyone elses husbands to look bad.
Happy Anniverary to us! It's been the best April Fools joke ever!
I just finished the third book of Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. I know I am a little bit late getting on the lusty vampire bandwagon. Friends of mine have been raving about the series forever and since I had just finished Jane Austen's Emma, I thought it was time for another novel. I feel a little let down by the series though. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely devoured every book and am anxiously waiting for the fourth one to come out, it's just that I wasn't that impressed with her writing style. It just kind of bugged me. It seemed like she was repetitive in her descriptions. I wonder if she knows what a thesaurus is? Does she underestimate her readers' intelligence? I did like her characters and their chemistry together. There were some really juicy parts. I just felt that it all lacked just a little. This is the one book that I think the movie will be better than. I think the dialog in the movie will fill that void that is missing in the book. I am eagerly anticipating the movie and am already drooling over the guy who will play Edward! I guess what I have gotten out of my Twilight experience is that if Mrs. Meyer can write a top selling novel then maybe I have a chance at writing something worth reading.
