A long weekend!

Well Happy Valentine's day! I wanted to write a little tribute to my greatest love, Justin! Justin and I will have been married three years this June. But we will have been together for a little over five years. Since the first time I met Justin I knew that I wanted to marry him. For the first time meeting a guy, he was kind, soft spoken, and not a player. I remember the first time I knew I loved him. We were standing in his apartment kitchen for the first time I met his parents. He was standing there holding his mother's hand in his and he kept giving her kisses. I knew then that I loved him. From then on it was just a matter of waiting and then getting sealed together. Every day I have spent with Justin has been a day that has been better than the last. Sometimes my greatest worry is that something will happen to me, or to him that would take one of us away from our perfect family. The other night I was thinking back to the time Justin was on his mission, and I began to cry thinking about all of the lonely nights I use to spend thinking about him wishing that he was there simply to just give me a hug. I am so glad those days are long gone.
As a side note, I remember talking with a bishop of mine while Justin was gone, and he asked me what I needed, and what I was lacking in my life. I normally would say, "oh nothing." but this time I felt that he had been inspired to ask me. I looked at him with tears in my eyes and said, all I need is a hug to be shown that someone cares. He got up and pulled me into a hug. That bishop will never know the impact that hug had on me. I am so grateful for his Christ like love.
Justin I love you! You make every day wonderful. I love falling asleep holding your hand, and walking up with your arms around me. You are the most selfless person I have met. Thank you for your patience and love towards me. You are my everything! I am so glad you are my Valentine this year and every year.
Thank you for giving me Lylia. She brings me the greatest joy. Thank you! And I love you!
