Can it Be?

15 Years have past since the day I made the best decision of my whole life. How could I have possibly known as such a tender young age that I was making the single most important choice in my whole mortal life on that day that I took my sweetheart's hand in mine and prominsed to love forever? I hoped for a lifetime of love and happiness. I got much more than I hoped for.
 
A wonderful ride down the road of parenthood, with my best friend at my side for encouragement. There is nothing more dear to me than the sounds of my children thrilled to see their Dad. My boys and girl are so lucky to have their father as an example of how a wife ought to be treated. He always puts me first.
 
Fun trips and date nights, some fancy dinners and some as simple as dinner at Rubio's and walking around Costco. It doesn't really matter what we're doing. Mark finds a way to make it fun.
 
Our "Hallmark" moments. There are the sweet moments and not so sweet ones, I find strength in knowing he's going to be there through them all with me.

Quite the life we've built together. From our first basement apartment days in Salt Lake, to staying at my parent's home, to our condos in Ssbre Springs, to our Waterfield Laurels days, it feels like home when we're together.

Every day truly is a perfect day when I'm with you. I'd follow you anywhere, and I know you'll follow me wherever else this journey of our life to together takes us. I'm so proud of that crazy nineteen year old girl who convinced you to marry her! I'd do it all again in a hearbeat. I love you more than words can say. Happy Anniversary!!

"Every day truly is a perfect day when I'm with you." Really? Because I like Mark and everything, but really? A perfect day? When I lived with you it seemed more like 97% perfect. Maybe 98% when you were cleaning.

Happy Anniversary! You guys are truly one of the cutest couples I know. I love when you said,"life is good being married to Mark Mendenhall." I know you mean it. I can't wait to hear all about New York!
