2 Years

Today is our 2nd anniversary! Wow, these past two years have seemed so much longer than that. Remember when you were a kid and sitting through an entire school year seemed like ETERNITY? Well the last 2 years have flown past but have still seemed like they have always been this way. I forget what life was like single.... I seem to remember not liking it though!

I can't express how wonderful it has been to have such a great man in my life. Ian is my favourite person and I love spending everyday with him. He will be such a wonderful father and I am so excited to see him with his little girl.

He brought home some beautiful roses today... and has been so great with helping getting our new house set up. We are so excited to be in our own home.

More exciting pictures to come with this ever growing and moving baby girl, spring/summer bbq's on our new deck, mother's day adventures and general home fun.

The time is fast approaching...

One year ago - May 5, 2007 - I was sealed to my husband for time and all eternity.

Tomorrow Ian and I celebrate our first anniversary. This year has been one of many happy moments and memories. I still can't believe that it has only been one year because it feels like Ian has been a part of my life forever. I can't imagine life without my dear husband. He is such a source of safety, strength and support for me.

My love has grown more than I imagined possible since I met Ian. I love his smile, his real one, when his eyes shine and his face wrinkles. I love that he loves to cook. I love his passion for learning which he shares with me almost daily. I love his willingness to help with anything. I love that he enjoys playing soccer and being active. I love how hard he worked in school and I know that he will work just as hard in his new job. I love holding his hand and dancing with him. But MOST of all I love Ian's hugs. There is healing power in them and I will miss him dreadfully as he leaves this weekend to start work in Lloydminster.

I must stay behind in Calgary to finish teaching my school year. We will be able to see each other on most weekends until then but I will still have to get through many lonely weeks. I was so fiercely independent before Ian came along and now I seem to have gone to the opposite extreme. I don't want to face waking up all alone and coming home to an empty house. I pray for courage and strength to make it through these next two months.
