And So it Begins...

Robbie and I are married, living the dream. But really, it's a dream come true and we are experiencing a level of happiness that just amazes us.

Obviously, before we got married I didn't finish all 30 reasons why I absolutely adore Robbie. The craziness of two weeks before a wedding ensued, and I just couldn't get it finished. But I love him, even more than I did two weeks ago, even more than I did yesterday. Here are the rest of the reasons I would have written about. How I love this man.

14. He dances with me in the kitchen.
13. He makes me want to be better.
12. He fits right in with my four lovely brothers.
11. He is such a family man, and is so dedicated to being a good husband and father.
10. He is the world's cutest uncle to his little nephew, Wyatt.
9. He welcomes opportunities for growth.
8. He has a strong testimony and continues to grow it.
7. He wants to have a beautiful yard and garden someday. So hot.
6. He is intelligent and works hard in school.
5. He loves helping others, whether it's fixing something, or helping with homework. You name it, he loves helping.
4. He works not only to make his dreams come true, but mine as well.
3. He humors me by eating healthy when I ask him too or give him something to eat that's healthy :)
2. He supports me as a homemaker and understands his role in the home. He willing helps me with dishes, dinner, etc.
1. He is worthy to take me to the temple.

That last one means more to me than any of the others. Going through the temple together the week before our wedding, and then being sealed on our wedding day are memories that are so special to us, and will forever be imprinted in our minds and hearts. A wedding day post is a post for another day, but I can't wait to share some memories from that day.

I love that I still learn things about Robbie. I feel like we got to know each other really well before we were married, but I still learn things about him! One thing about Robbie that I've noticed more than ever before is how hopeful he is. It really is one of his greatest strengths. I've seen it time and time again since we've been married. It was hard to come back to work and school after the honeymoon. It was hard to come home to an apartment with no furniture. For the wife in me, it still is hard to not have an apartment all put together. But through all of the hard, Robbie has been positive and so hopeful for our future. He is such a strength to me, and his hope has been a huge inspiration to me.

And so it begins...

P.S. How adorable is that we are R&R? I just can't handle it. Aaaaaand we both have the same initials now: R.B.S.
Fate, I tell you.
