On Tuesday, Kendall and I had our 5th wedding anniversary. I think Kendall is one of the greatest men around...let me tell you just a few of the reasons why:
*He is extremely considerate...seriously this guy worries about hurting peoples feelings and whether or not he could possibly have offended someone for days.
*He let's me run away and have a break whenever I need to, and willing watches the kiddos!
*He is sincerely interested in my hobbies and makes me feel improtant.
*He is incredibly humble. I don't think I've ever heard him be sincerely cocky, and he is always willing to admit his mistakes.
*He is a great listener. I love that I can talk to him about anything in the world, and I don't have to worry that he is thinking any less of me when I need to vent or I'm pms-ing and psychotically grouchy!
*I don't know another son in law who would clean up his father in law's messes as willingly and lovingly as does.
*He is very sensitive about taking life...including animals. This is something I really love and admire about him. He hunts and shoots and all that, but he still feels physically sick about taking life.
*He always, always, always is thinking about how his actions will affect me and our children.
I love him so much and am incredibly blessed to have found someone that I am completely compatible with! I threw in this page I scrapbooked because the song "Then," by Brad Paisley, pretty much sums us up.
Sorry, I know this is a long post with tons of pictures, but a lot happens this week. Miss Maggie Alece turned one yesterday. She is such a blessing in our lives. She is seriously a little charmer that wiggles her way into the heart of almost everyone she meets.
Last night I was thinking about where we were last year, and what we were doing. I remember on the second night stay at the hospital it was just Maggie and I in our room. Kendall had gone home to sleep {so he could go to work} and take care of Sam. I had been thinking about what I wanted to write to her about her birth and about my feelings for her, and all I could think of were the words to "I am a child of God." I was holding this beautiful baby who was incredibly fresh from Heaven and I just wanted her know and remember that she is a child of our Heavenly Father. That he loves her, and that he knows her. That has been and will always be one of the most important things I can teach my children. I think if they know and understand what that means it will impact the choices they make because they know who they are, and their divine potential. It was such a sweet moment for me to hold her and rock her and feel of her beautiful divinity. I love this girl and that love only grows stronger with each milestone she makes. These are just a few pictures of our Miss Mags throughout the year:
