The other night I asked him which were really the "best 2 years" for him, his mission or being married. He laughed as he replied that it was no contest, our marriage easily beat his mission.
This is saying a lot, because my husband loved his mission. He misses the people he served and many of his companions a great deal. But, The experience of being united with and committed to another individual for the rest of eternity is an experience that beats all others, hands down.
These past two years have been, quite frankly, exhausting. We've moved 4 times. We've buried a child. Ben has graduated and started his career. We've spent 105 days in the NICU before finally bringing our beautiful son home. All this and so much more has happened within 24 months. I could not have picked a better person to face it all with.
He has done his best to keep me smiling through it all and been there to hold me when I fell apart.
Benjamin is my angel.
I made this video for him. It tells the story of our past two years in pictures.
I'm a sucker for romances. But of all of the stories I've read of and seen, this love story is my favorite.
We're glad that you guys found each other. Congrats on two years! You're going to be the kind of couple that gets mistaken for newlyweds while one your 10 year anniversary. Keep it up!
