On September 28, 2012 was Thomas and mine 12th anniversary. Sometimes it feels like it was just yesterday that I met and married this incredible man and in others it feels like we have been together an eternity. I cannot imagine my life without him, that is for sure.
Thomas is an amazing husband. He loves me, he cherishes me, he serves me, he makes me laugh, he takes care of me, he does little things to make me happy, he wants to be with me, he is my best friend and my eternal companion.
I could not made it the past year without him. He has sat with me at doctors appointments, anxiously awaiting the latest news, the most recent test results, comforted me in pain, rubbed my feet, my back, my head and anywhere else that hurt, hugged me, comforted me and laid his hands on my head and administered priesthood blessings.
He loves the Savior and puts him first in his life, then me and then Hayden. After the three of us comes our extended family, church callings, friends, work, loved ones, friends and all the other responsibilities. Thomas realizes that the Spirit can only dwell where there is no contention and he refuses to fight. He holds me, apologizes and tries to be the man I want him to. It is me that has work to do. He is so good at just loving and seeing the good in everyone.
Thomas makes me laugh like no other and helps me to enjoy life. I find myself counting down the minutes until he gets home. I feel safe when he is here. I know that he will make everything okay or at least hold my hand while we face it together.
I love the man he is today, not just the one he will be in the future. Each and every year I am in awe of all the ways that he still sweeps me off my feet, does more wonderful little things to surprise me and continues to inspire me and he continues to become even better.
This year, he made me this incredible ring and brought home an all white bouquet of roses, the same that was at our wedding. He is romantic. He is kind. He is a great father. He knows how to serve me and love me in the ways I need to be loved.
The best decision I ever made was saying yes to this incredible man. I love you, Thomas! Now and forever. I am so grateful you are mine!
