3 Years of Wedded Bliss

We are celebrating our third anniversary today. What a wonderful 3 years we've had too. I remember very clearly when we were discussing what date we should get married on. We were originally planning on getting married sometime in October but Sue thought it would be great to get married on 8-8-08. Primarily to make this date a more positive remembrance. August had not been very kind to Sue and her family. Both Sue's mom and previous husband and eternal companion, Guy, passed away on this date. I asked to her to make sure that she discussed the idea with her family so everyone was ok with the idea. The rest is history.

I am so grateful to have this sweet little lady in my life. Sue is an absolute joy and a sweetheart. She is such a great wife, mom, and grandma to her children and mine. Our life has been so full and so full of adventures. We really do have an absolutely wonderful life together. Its so great to be married to your best friend. We both love spending time together.

Each of us had very tough acts to follow as each of us have been previously married to wonderful people. We both love each others families and have integrated all of them into our lives. I think that while neither one of us has never intended to replace each other as the parent of each others kids, we have strived to accept,  love and treat  them as our own. None of us can ever have too many people that love us. I hope our spouses would be proud of us and how we are looking after each others families. We are both so blessed to have the wonderful children and grandchildren that we both have.

We strive to live life as full as we possibly can. That usually includes some great adventures, great food, great family activities, and of course, church service. Sue is the ideal Bishop's wife. She is absolutely perfect for the job. Supportive, understanding, never prying, and will do whatever she is asked to do. We both love serving in the church and especially our ward members.

We celebrated quietly this year in the comfort of our own home. I made us a yummy filet mignon and lobster tail dinner that was scrumptious. I even made homemade candied pecans for the salad and some baby red potatoes. We had a great time and just chilled and talked...a lot. What a wonderful evening.

No one knows what the future will bring, but we know that we share a very deep and special love that won't be broken. Our marriage is founded in; truth, mutual respect, affection, love, admiration, and support of one another. We know that we must not ever lose sight of the important things in life and our ultimate goal.

No matter what life will bring us as we enter our 4th year...we know that it will be an adventure. Here's to my sweetheart...may we have many more wonderful years together as we live life to the fullest in our own Zion paradise.
