We had our 4th wedding anniversary this past Thursday, March 7th. Chris gave me flowers that day and I have to say, getting flowers never gets old. Friday night is when we went out to eat to celebrate. We went to Ruth's Chris Steakhouse again and had a great time. They do extra special stuff for special occasions. Our table was tucked away so we had privacy AND the chef made us a special appetizer that was on the house AND they gave us a free dessert. Our food was delicious and it was fun to reminisce about the last 4 years.
Each anniversary makes me feel more grateful for the choices I've made. It is wonderful being married to Chris and I'm so glad we were sealed together forever in the temple. Our life together with our amazing kids is far better than I dreamed. We have been given so much and been taken care of by our Heavenly Father. We have had trying moments but they are short-lived. I heard something today at church that stood out to me. The comment was, "this life is not about 'living the dream' but preparing to live the dream." I often pray for perspective. I know when I have a clear perspective, an eternal perspective, I am more patient, loving and understanding. The 'dream' comment gave me perspective today. I love when Chris and I work together and make our way through a trial. We are growing closer because of them. He is my best friend and I love him more each day.
Happy Anniversary to us:)
