10 YEARS!!!!

At about 9:30 this morning Ben and I will have been married for 10 years. It is hard to believe that it has been 10 years since that day, but it is hard to remember my life when he was not part of it. I always had an idea of the man I would marry. You know the good looking, great with kids, polite, returned missionary. Every girl knows what I am talking about, but with Ben I got exactly what I had always dreamed about and so much more. Not only is Ben all of that, but he is my best friend. He loves me even when I am probably the toughest person to love in the world. He is patient, loving, and yes he is definetly good looking. He is one of those men that just keeps getting better looking the older he gets. You know the men I am talking about ( the Sean Connery, the Pierce Brosnan type). He is the best dad out there. After 10 years we have three beautiful children Jarrett, Isabelle, and McGregor. Ben loves his kids so much, you can tell by how he looks at them and wants to do everything with them. I don't know what I did to be so blessed to spend the rest of my life and eternity with Ben, but I am so thankful for that blessing. Ben I wanted to say thank you for the best 10 years. I never knew married life could be so good. After 10 years you would think we would get sick of being together, but it has just made me want more. You are my best friend and the love of my existence. As long as I have you I can do just about anything. You are the most amazing father. Thank you for all you do for me and our children. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is I am still so much in love with Ben and falling harder and harder everyday. After 10 years of marriage we have had a lot of different experiences, a lot happy and good, some hard and sad, but through it all we have loved each other and I believe because of those experiences we are closer and better than ever. I love you Benjamin C.
