3 years! Really?

Well three years ago today Parker and I were sitting on my mom's couch just laughing and playing around. It went silent and Parker said to me " I really wish you were my girlfriend" I thought it was so cute and sweet. I remember sitting there thinking to myself if I say yes then there is a good chance I am saying no to my mission. I sat there and made a nervous laugh and trying to buy myself sometime, I remember saying so would we get to change our Facebook status haha
I knew at that point in my life Parker was going to change every plan I had ever made for myself, every thought of never getting married and every fear I had ever had of being with someone for the rest of my life well and eternity.
I know this sounded so dramatic to think such heavy thoughts when he was just asking me to be his girlfriend. Yes everyone, I had boyfriends in the past and yes they had asked me to be their girlfriend but this was different. Everything with Parker felt different.
How so? We never played games with one another. If we weren't hanging out and he asked me what I was doing I never felt compelled to make my life sound like I am this busy girl with so much to do. Or when I had a date I didn't feel like I needed to make up a lie, I just told him the truth. We never played the wait 15 minutes to respond back to a text. I normally would never ask the guy to hangout but I asked him all of the time. Parker always came to an event or a family dinner. If he said he would be there he would. I obviously had problems with those things in the past.
Yes Parker fought through every wall I had ever put for myself. He changed me in such a quick amount of time. Every thought or fear I had of a relationship was now out the window. I knew at that very moment he would be my last boyfriend. The first person I ever had really fallen in love with and the last person.
These past three years have been an incredible ride! We have definitely been through the lowest of lows and the highest of highs but above all we have fallen more in love with one another. He is my absolute best friend. The person who I go to for everything and the person who makes my life a lot more exciting!
A few of my favorite things about Parker:
1. His love for the gospel
2. His determination for anything and everything.
3. Parker works like an ox. He stepped it up after I lost hours as a nanny.
4. He loves his family and mine so much and would do anything for them
5. His love for life
6. His cute little text messages
7. The way he makes me feel
8. His funny sense of humor (that I don't really understand) haha
9. He is so smart and has so many hidden talents
10. Being the best husband every day.

There obviously it's so much more.He is simply amazing! So happy 3 year anniversary baby samich and to many more!

Free to dream in a marriage!

Our four year wedding anniversary is coming up and because of that our marriage has been on my mind. I know marriage can be a personal topic but I also think it can be therapeutic to talk about marriage.  Parker and I have definitely had our ups and downs but one thing that has stayed constant and that is, we are constantly growing and working each day to make our marriage better.  We have been through a lot like almost too much to handle but somehow we always come out on top. I recently had an epiphany about the past five years we have been together. We got together when we were twenty years old and according to research that is the prime age to really find who you are. So we got married and Parker was focusing on himself and I was focusing on the marriage.  The next few years I saw Parker blossom he kept receiving raises, losing weight, and just all around being confident in himself and becoming better. Well I literally lost myself I was finding the weight Parker was lo...

Jags

As I have gone back to work full time I often wonder what I miss with Jagger during those 6-10 hour days. The days used to be our special time to learn, go on adventures and just spend time with one another. Now we try to cram those special moments at night and on the weekends. It's so difficult to be away from him but I am full of gratitude that our bond has stayed intact and that he is so well taken care of by my mom and Jeff.  I feel like I need to document the small things about Jagger because eventually those will be the big things as I look back on them. I love this quote and it pretty much sums up how I feel about my babe... “Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.” Jagger is such a social butterfly and has no fear of being himself and showing himself to the world. How I admire this and hope he will keep this confidence through out his life. He smiles and says "Hi" to everyone he comes in contact with and truly i...

Passenger Seat

Autopilot.... My life feels like it is continuing to move and I am in the passenger seat praying that I don't get hit and hoping I can just coast. It's that checked out feeling and being aware of it but not knowing if you really want to be in the driver seat because you may end up just crashing. It's difficult knowing which one is better right now and maybe it's about recognizing that whether you're the passenger or the driver if you get in an accident you get hurt regardless.      It's interesting how tricky our brain can be about giving us a false sense of hope and to be quite honest, I am surprised my brain still seeks out hope. I heard once that "hope is a discipline" and I'm not sure I have that discipline right now. It's confusing and there's a lot of uncertainty right now in this unpredictable world, fear based motives and personal turmoil as humans. It makes sense why our world is the way it is we are all unsure and living in fear i...
