18 YEARS

so we made it...18 years TODAY!

Happy Anniversary Kyle & Dorien~

Married 18 years ago in the Salt Lake City temple on a cold day, winter inversion in SLC
in full swing...it was actually a hideous day weather wise, but our love warmed it all away, or
some sappy thing like that!

in 18 year we have added 4 kids to the mix and a tapestry of memories, including BOTH joy
and sorrow, happiness and heartache, good and bad. (as any life would probably be, right?)

i am grateful i have a husband who...
loves me in spite of all my imperfections.
is a great dad who loves his kids.
who has FUN with his children.
who does dishes, laundry AND cleans bathroom (including floors) and never complains.
is a hard worker.
keeps trying and trying and hasn't given up yet.
always remembers my birthday.
got up in the night with crying babies to walk, cuddle, diaper and love them (and give me a break).
loves me and my children.

so far today, we have cleaned the house, started laundry, will go to Grace's Jr Jazz basketball game and HOPEFULLY ditch the kids for something fun together after that!

HAPPY DAY!
