I have so many posts to catch up on from our vacation, but I couldn't go today without acknowledging that it is our 1 year anniversary! One year ago, I married the perfect man for me. While I still remember the silly little things that didn't go as planned, the thing I remember most is sitting across the alter from Travis in the temple. I remember feeling so excited that we wouldn't have to say goodbye again after being long distance for 9 months. I remember the feeling of peace that the spirit brought. I remember all my family and best friends being there to support us. I remember how happy I was.
Now, one year later, I think I am even happier than I was that day. This year has shown me how much Travis does love me and sacrifice for me. He has taught me what true love really is. I am reminded every day how lucky I am to be married to such a wonderful guy. Not only does he put up with me and my shenanigans, but he supports me and loves me through it all (and it goes both ways, I put up with his crazy shenanigans too!).
As I have been getting ready for girls camp, I came across this quote by President Uchtdorf:
Isn’t it remarkable to know that our eternal Heavenly Father knows you, hears you, watches over you, and loves you with an infinite love? In fact, His love for you is so great that He has granted you this earthly life as a precious gift of “once upon a time,” complete with your own true story of adventure, trial, and opportunities for greatness, nobility, courage, and love. And, most glorious of all, He offers you a gift beyond price and comprehension. Heavenly Father offers to you the greatest gift of all—eternal life—and the opportunity and infinite blessing of your own “happily ever after.”
I am reminded of all the things this life brings and the happily ever after that will soon come.

Happy Anniversary!
Congratulations! Happy Anniversary! Hope you had a wonderful day. :)
Happy Anniversary! So glad you found and married Travis!
Wow. That was the fastest year! If someone would've asked me how long you've been married I probably would've said, "Um...like 6 months?" Matt and I are almost 7 years now and it doesn't feel like that long AT ALL. Feels like we were roommates a year ago...well, at least to me. But then all of my kids wouldn't make sense. I'm glad Travis makes you so happy!
