Bliss?... Sometimes. Happiness?... Always!


It has been 13 years of ups and downs. What a lot we have learned since the day we made our promises in the temple.... in the middle of one of the worst snowstorms in two years. It did make for some beautiful wedding photos, though.
We were married one year to the day Burke came home from his mission. He told me he wouldn't get married before he had been home a year. Otherwise, who would ever get married in January?
Now 13 years, four children, two states, three university degrees, and 8--yes 8 --moves later, I love him even more.
My latest RS lesson was President Monson's talk: Finding Joy in the Journey. That is what I think we have done all these years. We met when we were 14. We have grown up, grown together, and made a family. I am so grateful for what we have been able to experience, and I am proud of what we have accomplished, and even more proud that we were able to do it by working together.
I love you baby!

Ya I remember that. Dad was a pretty crazy driver. You are lucky Bryan and I made it there.
