day 1,462 of eternity together

Today is a special day.
It marked the first day of our Fifth year together.  Four years ago on October 21, 2006 Chase and I were married. What a great adventure it has been.  Lots of ups and a few downs, but it definitely has been a wonderful ride.  Chase is a great husband.  I never have to question his love for me. I never have to question his desire to become the best man he can become.  We just have so much fun together.  I love that he has the same quirky humor that I do-even if other people don't really think its funny.  I love that he provides for our family and doesn't complain.  Watching him become a father has expanded my feelings for him like a balloon connected to an air pump.  To see him as such a tender, involved Dad just makes my day, every day.  Each time he gets up in the night and tries to calm Beck down, even though he knows there is a 90% chance that nothing but nursing will work, my love grows deeper.  He wants to be there for each moment; even the poopy diapers and tired nights. 

That makes me want to stick by his side. 
 For eternity.

Aw, you love birds are as lovie-dovie as ever! I like that about you guys! I always get more smooches in with Jordan when we're hanging out with you because we like to follow your affectionate example. ( : ps. Jude and I (jenny) are going to be in cache valley from Nov. 9th to the 16th. Jordan won't be with us, though (dumb, med school - boo.) Anyway, I don't know if there's any chance of us getting to see you... but I would love it! I wish we could have another "white house" reunion, you know? So, no pressure - but if you're for some weird reason thinking about a trip to Logan anyway - let me know!! Love you guys! Give that handsome Beck a high five from his pal Jude!
