3 years

this post is a little overdue, but better late than never.

last week on the 15th, nick and i celebrated our 3 year wedding anniversary. it's so crazy how fast time flies. i still remember our wedding day as if it  were yesterday. i remember waiting to go into the sealing room with nick, we were just sitting there admiring the temple and how pretty it was and then nick leans over to me and says "i helped build this temple" definitely something nick would say to me, haha! i still remember how i felt on our wedding day. i still get butterflies just thinking about it. it was an incredible day. a long day too.

the night before a wedding nick posted on my old blog without me knowing, when we came home from our honeymoon i found it, and i just recently read it again:

HEY GUYS!! just to warn you first and foremost, this is nick typing without denise's knowing :) 

so here i sit, on the night before the big day, and i just am soaking in the moment. my wonderful fiance is making the final touches to my groom's cake, (which i cant look at yet) while i am putting together a playlist for background music to the reception. things are just good.

i cannot explain how grateful i am for the last eight months of my life where i have gotten to know my soon-be-wife, dated her, asked her to marry me, and just gotten to love her like no other girl i have ever known. she is just downright AMAZING and i simply cannot and will not imagine my life without her. we are taking a huge step tomorrow and may not know what exactly the future will hold for the two of us, but i know-and trust me on this one- i KNOW, that with her by my side, we can do anything. 

tomorrow i will be sealed to the love of my life in the draper, utah temple. she is my best friend, my one and only. she is the half that makes me whole. 

i cannot wait to spend eternity with her.

(i love you honey!!)

i remember being so excited to say fiance, but i absolutely love calling him my hubby. we sometimes joke to each other still and will say "hey, guess what? we're married!" i love it :)

this year for our anniversary we didn't do much, and that's ok. we are both so busy, and nick had to work that night of our anniversary. he called me when he was off work and i told him i had presents here waiting for him and he quietly said "yours isn't wrapped yet..." but when he got home, he had been so clever to wrap my gift in a mcdonald's bag with napkins as the tissue paper, totally a nick thing to do :)

we opened our gifts and then went and got slurpee's and went on a drive and talked. my favorite thing to do with him. it's so nice and relaxing. 

i have loved these past 3 years, we have had our ups and downs, we have had many adventures and i can't wait to see what the rest of eternity brings us. i wouldn't want to spend it with anyone else. :)
