Day 490

     My brother Brent is in town for Spring Break.  He and his is family came over yesterday afternoon for about an hour or two.  Last night, as I was putting Katie to bed, she said, "I don't think my cousins can come over every day...because I need a few days in between to rest."  I assured her we would work it out, and then she said, "Today was really fun!...but I just need time to rest...I just need to rest."  This being said on a day when she had taken two naps (2 hours each), and I was putting her to bed early - and her cousins were only here for an hour or two.  It was heart wrenching!  I assured Katie she could play when she felt like playing and she could rest when she needed to rest - and then she promptly fell asleep.
     Today, is Scott's and my, 7th wedding anniversary.  It has been an eventful seven years!  When we began this journey together, neither of us could have guessed or even imagined the hardships and difficulties ahead - but we made it through it all - together.  We are happy together.  Our love for each other has grown, and I can't imagine my life without him.  He is my best friend.  I love him with all of my heart and soul.  I am grateful to him for being the faithful, good, and strong man he is.  He has been a steady and constant source of strength and love.  We are equally yoked.  We are "two peas in a pod."  I love that we are so much alike, and that we enjoy the same things.  Scott has given me my greatest gifts - my children.  He is a great husband and a great father.  He is a righteous man and he keeps his covenants.  He is a master of all trades and I love that about him.  He is strong and he is steady.  Scott is the love of my life, and I am so glad he found me.  I am grateful that he loves me - and I am grateful for the way he loves me - and for how much he loves me.  (I love you Scott!)
