FIFTEEN YEARS. . .

Fifteen Years Ago. . .

We got Married!

So when we were in Utah a few weeks ago we stopped by "our temple"

and "I" thought it would be fun to recreate the above picture.

Obviously it had been awhile since I had seen the picture.

I'm obviously on the wrong side,

and why did I think we were kissing????

BUT, I was wearing white!

It was fun to remember back to that day 15 years ago when we were standing together on that same patch of grass looking up at the beautiful temple and taking in that we had just married one another for FOREVER!

And while I was reflecting on that day, my 12 year old son after taking the picture says to his dad "Dad, that was a pretty weak kiss". . .

My husband of 15 years gave me a better KISS!

(is this totally inappropriate on temple grounds?)

I don't pretend to know what love is for everyone, but I can tell you what it is for me.

Love isn't mushy for Kyle and I.

We don't need to hold hands in public and I don't need him to put his arm around me every time we sit next to each other. . . I feel completely comfortable and safe around him, and yet he still makes me a little weak in the knees when he comes in the room and smiles at me!

When Kyle and I were dating we had an English class together and in that class we read and studied Shakespears King Lear!

From that play there is one phrase that has kinda been our "theme song" if you will, because we don't have one of those. . .

"He is half part of a blessed man, 

left to be finished by such as she. 

And she a fair divided excellence 

whose fullness of perfection lies in him."

Happy Anniversary to US!
