Happy Birthday, My Love. :)

On May 14th, I got to marry my hero. Six months later, we tried to watch the Super Moon-- you know, the one that only comes every 34 years. We didn't quite make it. Turns out, we're purty ignorant of Mr. Moon's elliptical schedule. However, I know I'm such a lucky girl to have a guy who'd give me the moon if he could. It's such a wonderful life.         

          I cannot believe I have been Jacob's wife for a total of six months and three days already! Time sure flies when you're having fun, and I've been flying through time with this best friend of mine. Today, he has been alive for a whopping twenty-three years, thanks to his awesome mother who brought him into this world for me to meet. I am so thankful for a loving Father in Heaven who led our lives for us until the very moment when we met at Family Home Evening.

           Our engagement process went pretty fast. We'd been friends for awhile and he'd had his eye on me, but he didn't want to scare me away. I'd been struck hard by his testimony in church one day, but took my time in acting on that. Sometimes, the story goes that we went on many dates to the temple, other times we went on just one date to Chili's, and another version says we went grocery shopping at Walmart one day and it just hit us that we should be dating. However it happened, the truth is this: I love him. He makes life more marvelous than I ever could have hoped for. I'm thankful for his patience with my quirks, and  I am so excited for our life to continue unfolding!

So, here's to our 
midnight-talking, moonlight-walking, 

laundry-folding, common-colding, 

mountain-climbing, perfect-timing, 

thrill-craving, new-food-braving

dream-swapping, mic-dropping, 

frisbee-throwing, happy-glowing,

guitar-playing, dance-and-swaying

family-founding, love-abounding, 

gospel-living, first-forgiving, 

Happily Ever After. 

Jacob, I'm thankful for all the -ing things you bring. (:

The adventures continue, forever and ever.
