Happy 5th Anniversary

Dear Allan,

Can you believe that it has already been 5 years. It seems like it was just recently that we were ditched at the temple not knowing what to say or do. That night Deanna Jonutz told me "there's something special about that one". She was right I thought so too but the night had been a little awkward and I was sure that was it. Then you came and visited us in Utah for Conference and I still thought wow he's a great guy. We started texting each other and something happened Anytime I talked about you, got a text from you or thought about you I got all giddy and I'd say no, no, no this doesn't happen to me what's going on. Then when we went on our first official date at the nickel arcades I knew I couldn't just shrug off those feelings I was falling in Love with you. I remember calling my mom and telling her I think I like this guy. She said "you think so" and I said "yeah I think so" and what do you know 2 months later we were engaged and then 4 months later we were married. I still get all giddy when I see you come home at night and every time you hold me I can't believe how lucky I am. We've definitely had some trials come our way, but really I'm thankful for them. It brought us closer together and made us rely on each other to make it through. I remember that night I took you to the hospital I was so scared I was going to lose you but something inside kept telling me everything will be okay and then I'd think we're sealed together for time and all eternity and I was able to grasp comfort from that. I'm so grateful to be a part of your life and so happy that you are part of mine. I love you more now than I did 5 years ago and back then I didn't think that was possible. I love the husband that you are to me and also the father that you are to Allie. She sure loves her Daddy. So here's to five years and an eternity more :)

Love, ME
