Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day to my sweet husband Derek!! I love him always but today I want him to know exactly how much! We have only been married for a little over a year but it has been such a fun journey so far and I can’t wait to see what comes next. I started falling for Derek the day we met at our ward opening social. We sat as a group and talked about the TV shows we used to watch as kids and I couldn’t get over how handsome he was! I referred to him as the cute boy from church when I talked to my mom. We slowly started to get to know each other and a few months later we were dating. I worked with his sweet mom on campus and spend a lot of time with his family in Rexburg. I loved his family and he could take my family’s teasing and sarcasm so I knew he was perfect!

Marrying Derek was the best decision of my life! He has made me smile everyday since then. He is my sweetheart and my best friend. I don’t know what I would do without him. When he is gone I miss him and come to love him even more! We have so many sweet memories that I truly cherish and will always remember- our cruise being canceled twice but spending a wonderful week in the Carribbean. Decorating our little apartment and making it our first home together. Derek was so excited to hang pictures and decorate. We went to Bed Bath and Beyond everyday one week and joked that they knew us by name! We loved our little apartment and had many fun times- building a fort in the family room, shooting each other with our nerf guns, making dinner together, and just being togher always! We waited during a long short sale process and finally bought our first home. We have spent our time and money since then trying to make it home! I am grateful to have a husband that can do everything! He can fix anything in the house, change the oil in the cars, fix my breaks, change a tire, fix a yummy meal, clean, and scratch my back! I love him with all my heart and am so excited that he is mine forever!

Things I love about my Valentine:

- He loves God and has a testimony of the gospel 
-  He loves me unconditionally
- He puts me first and tries to make me happy
- He scratched my back when I’ve had a hard day
- He loves to serve and help others
- He is funny and easy to love!
- He makes me laugh
- He is patient with me when I am grumpy
- He is a jack of all trades
- He makes me a better person
