See this great guy? He married me 10 years ago today. What a wonderful day that was. We were so young, so excited. We had no idea! We had no idea what was in store, that we would have a best friend through life, that we would have a crazy person to live with forever, that we would be able to love each other and our children so much through good and bad.
When we got married 10 years was half my life. We grew up together, we've relied on our commitment to our marriage and temple covenants to get us through some rough times, but mostly we would rather be together than with anyone else.
John is so PATIENT. He never raises his voice at me. He listens to my details. He is a super dad. He is such a hard worker. He was so committed to me getting through college, it was a struggle, but he really supported me. He is faithful to his temple covenants. He honors his priesthood. He loves me, even when I don't deserve it.
Thanks honey, wonderful, fun, crazy, hair pulling, a couple of grouchy but mostly excellent 10 years. Here is to 10 times infinity more!

Sara, this blog post is why I love you so much! You are so real. I'm always irritated by anniversary posts about how perfect life is makes everyone else feel like, "What did I do wrong?" because they don't acknowledge that it's also a lot of work and sometimes pure commitment that pull us through to the happier and better places where we see with clear eyes and perspective how "perfect" our spouses are for us and how much our lives have been blessed. You said it perfectly and now I'll stop waxing philosophical :o) And Happy Anniversary to one of our favorite couples!!
Colette,
I do try to keep things real......my husband is so awesome and wonderful, but not perfect. Neither and I the perfect spouse...far from it. But we were committed to our marriage, to our covenants before we blundered through marriage. It gets us through, you know. And as you said, makes the better times all that much happier. Thanks for your comments.
As you know, you can always look to me for reality ;)
Well, as reality based as a pregnant woman can be with all these hormones! But since we are in the same boat together, we can pretend we are grounded in reality together ;)
