Two things are owed to truthfulness - lasting marriages and short friendships.

Casey and I did not date very long before he proposed. Although there are some couples that marry after a month of even meeting each other (an aunt of mine). Nothing wrong with that. Casey and I met when we were 8 and my favorite color was blue. His eyes are blue. So I fell in love...with his eyes. Not him...yet. His eyes. We only went to homecoming together our junior year. I wore a blue dress to match his eyes. After that nothing happened. 


After a year or marriage and reminding him that it was his bad that he never asked me out, I can't complain of how it all came about. I love my husband. We always have ups and downs but the downs don't happen 
enough because I can't remember any of them. It's true. I married my best friend. I knew we would. 


I wanted to go to the Dallas Temple to celebrate our anniversary but I did the big mistake of leaving my recommend at home. We have been in Texas visiting our family for the Christmas break. I can't believe one year has passed. We were lucky to have my parents babysit overnight. We were able to celebrate by eating at the harbor and spending a night at a hotel where it was walking distance from where we had dinner. We were able to chat the night away. Having a baby we obviously wanted some sleep, but we were having so much fun we didn't want to. We also missed our amazing angel. We couldn't stop talking about her either. 


During this year Casey and I have learned so much from each other and no matter what happens we fall in love more every day. We make mistakes learn from them and know how to forgive and forget. Not forgive each other although we do that but forgive ourselves. We always try to be the best for each other and focus less on what we receive. The greatest gift that he has given me was our sweet girl. She makes us love each other even more. 


Casey I love you and even though you don't have time to blog I know you love me too. You show it every day. I can't wait for another year and another second with you and Eliana. You guys are the best.
