Happy Anniversary

It is hard to believe that today makes three years since Cody and I got married. So much has happened in those three years that it is too much to name so I won't even attempt to go there. I will say that our two wonderful children have made our marriage more fun.

While scrapbooking the other day I came across a wedding program with the words written perfectly...I don't know who wrote it, so if you know please tell me. It is very possible that it was either Cheryl or Jason Torres or both since is was at their wedding that I received it. This is what Cody and I strive for each day.

"The purpose of this union is heaven. Each is the instrument through which the other shall obtain their eternal reward. A spouse is not just a companion but a chance to perfect Christian Love. God's Love should flow down through me to my spouse and be returned to him through our earthly union. As such, our marital love is required to mirror the sacrificial love of Christ. Wrongs shall always be forgiven; sacrifices will always be made, not begrudgingly, but with joy. Children will be welcomed as an expression of our purest form of Christian love. We will challenge one another to explore our faith and develop a deeper understanding of our creator. Through this marriage I will give up myself for the other and thus be received into the kingdom of Heaven."

Cody, I am so blessed to be married to you and each day I love you more.
