Curt and I celebrated 4 great years yesterday! It has been such an amazing experience as we have grown even closer each of the 1,460 days of our marriage. To help me remember the moments I am supplying a few random facts.
Why we got married:Sometimes I look back over our lives and can't imagine how Curt and I weren't meant for eachother. He truly is my best friend and knows me better than I even know myself.
There are so many things that we understand about eachother because of the events that have happened in our lives.
We knew that we wanted to be together because we make eachother better! We are happier together than apart- even still!!!
Things we have accomplished over the years:The first year We attened ISU as a married couple. This is where we worked together at Public Safety and met several good friends.
We returned home to the place we love and hope to continue to call our home!
In the past 3 years, We transfered to BYU-Idaho, changed our degrees, and did a lot of driving to school.
We each went full time, I in Elementary Ed and him in AG Business/Animal Science.
Curt also got his CDL and worked EXTREMELY hard so that we can have the things that we have. He completed an internship for the Forest Service, worked heavy equipment in Driggs, built a cabin with Clark Brothers, and most recently worked his TAILLLLLL off for a local farmer. All of the while he has worked equally hard on his own family farm and been a loving husband to me!
Our crazy life slowed considerably down when we both graduated in April. We checked graduating off of our TO DO LIST and got ready to have a baby.
Hailee was born May 3 and has filled the school gap in our lives. She keeps us entertained, and smiling!
Curt is still works much harder than he should and is highly underappreciated. I try my hardest, but the poor guy doesn't always get the credit he deserves for taking such good care of our family. What a blessing he is to us!
I am currently teaching 6th grade. I am so thankful to have walked into such an amazing position. I am so grateful for my career choice in that I can still be a great and involved mother. I love the kids I teach and the people I work with.
Hailee goes to our neighbor's everyday and plays with the cutest little 4 year old. She is loved and I am comforted knowing that she is in a good home!
Things I have learned:
I have learned that it is easier to forgive and just love the guy than to get all emotional!
I have learned that spaghetti is not something to be eaten as left-overs.
I have learned that it should be a requirement to LOVE and spend equal time with the spouses family to make the marriage strong.
I have learned to always have pepsi in the fridge- extra in the cuboard in the winter!
I have learned to laugh more about life!
I have learned to love the little things.
Why we are still going strong:
We don't want to give up.
We know the alternative is nonexistent. We can choose to love eachother and make it work.
We love Hailee, she is a new dimension in our relationship. I look at Curt in a new light because he is a great dad for Hailee and I love to see them interact! I hope he also sees this in me:)
We have such great support behind us. Curt has an amazing family and I am so grateful to be around them. They give me the strength and the confidence that I have always tried to have. My parents are also so supportive. They love us and take such geat care of us even at the hardest times!
We are sealed forever. Our faith and the principles we believe in make everything seem so simple. We know it is hard, but that it is possible, and it is worth everything!
