Eight and so much more!

I wanted to put one more thing in my last entry, but I ran out of time....I am guessing that one of the kids needed me or something, but I have a minute so I will hurry and try to finish it. I wanted to make a list of 8 things that have changed in my life because of my sweet husband. The hard part is narrowing it down to only 8 things. If you know my sweetheart, you can probably understand. He is such an amazing person! Our lives have blended together so wonderfully, it is like the perfect combination of ingredients to make the most amazing dessert that you would want to enjoy over and over again! I am truly blessed by this incredible man. So, here is my short list:

1.) I now eat onions. I never loved them, in fact I almost hated them, but his family puts them in EVERYTHING! I can now say that I enjoy a good onion, with most meals!

2.) I know how to and enjoy jeeping. My guy loves the outdoors in a different way than I do. He likes to take his Jeep up the mountains, and I like to hike up the mountains. We each have learned to love what we had not done much of before we got married.

3.) I have a very strong example when it comes to religious matters. He blesses our family with priesthood blessings, with FHE, family prayer, church on Sunday etc. I have always had religion in my life, but not as constant as he has maintained it.

4.) Softball. Yeah, I have never played, and because of him, I have learned to LOVE it! I still play like a girl, and I am probably the worst one on the team, but it is sooooo fun to play on our co-ed team.

5.) Gardening/Canning. His parents have three HUGE gardens that they share with us. We try to get up there to help when we can. I remember having a garden when I was really young, but I can't remember anything about it except weeding it! I have learned some new things, but my favorite is how to bottle what we grow! YUMMY!

6.) KIDS. We have 2 8/9 kids. Our third will be born next month. They are so amazing! And the best part is that my husband fits right in with them. He is just a big kid himself!

7.) Reaching my potential. My husband has proved to be the best in helping me to accomplish more than I ever thought I could. He is my biggest fan in all that I do.

9.) Grilling/Dutch Oven cooking. Because of him, I have learned to do both fairly well. I will have to admit that my husband is an amazing cook, and I will never surpass his abilities in these areas. In fact, when it comes to breakfast...he will always have me beat!

I love you sweetheart. I can't wait to see what the rest of eternity brings for us!
