Memorable Monday

Today in honor of our 26th Wedding Anniversary, I've posted this wedding picture from our reception on April 2, 1982. It seems like yesterday that we were married and it seems like we've been in love forever. Funny how time passes. Happy Anniversary Honey!!!


Since I met Leland when I was 14, here are 14 things that I love about him. I could list 26 but that would get too boring for you readers.

1. I love that he's tall because no matter what the scale reads, I'm small next to him.
2. I love it when he sits down that he removes one shoe. He's done this our entire relationship.
3. I love that I married the first boy I ever kissed. Yup, 33 years ago I met him as my first boyfriend and got my first kiss.
4. I love that he thinks of me first. I can have whatever I want and he's always on a budget for the things he wants or needs. Call me spoiled!!
5. I love watching him with with Ava. His face lights up when she calls him Poppi. And he is always jealous when I get to see her and he doesn't.
6. I love that he watches basketball games by fastforwarding to the fourth quarter when I've had enough of the sport for one day.
7. I love that he answers my calls when he is at work no matter what he is doing. He is never too busy for me.
8. I love that he never gets mad at me for the airhead things I do. He just shakes his head and helps me get out of my sticky situations.
9. I love that as an athletic person he could love a non-competitive, unathletic woman. I always notice the uniforms before the players' abilities.
10. I love that Leland has a strong testimony of the church and that it strengthens mine.
11. I love that he loves to travel as much as me; even though he hates to fly. He would have us on a vacation every month if possible.
12. As a follow-up to #11, I love that he is happy laying in the sun all day and doesn't fidget out of boredom while I enjoy my favorite sport.
13. I love how smart he is about the gospel and that he can answer any question about any gospel subject.
14. I love that Leland loves me more and more each year and that we are the best of friends.

I love you Leland!!!

That is one of the sweetest posts I've seen! You two are an example to all of us about how to love...it is clear in your blog, but what I love is that it is even clearer in person- you two adore each other and I love that...after 26 years it is possible to be more in love than when you were in high school! Can't wait to see you and bring over baby Jade! Talk to you soon!
