Happy FOUR months to my sweetheart!

WOW he makes me happy!
Yesterday marked 4 months since I married my sweetheart, best friend, and incredible husband Jared. I am simply floored at how fast the time has gone and yet how peaceful each day has been. Knowing that I married my best friend for eternity has brought SO much peace, comfort, and love into my life.  Not going to lie, each day hasn't been easy because I have my ups and downs (Jared is the best listener and has the best shoulder-there-for-me-to-have-while-I-am-crying in the whole world), but Jared's very presence and his love has allowed me to be me without strings attached. I feel SO free and SO in love with this man!

I realize this is the second post and once again it is about us and our marriage, but I had to highlight this special event! 4 MONTHS! wow!

And how did we celebrate you ask? Well, we did our usual stuff: gym, biking, work, scriptures, etc. But then in the evening we celebrated a birthday with my little bro! We ate dinner with this smashingly handsome freshman guy (see below-pic from our wedding) We ate at Legend's Grille with my bro and his friends- it was quite the experience eating dinner with a bunch of 18 year old guys and my husband. Let's just say I am grateful I am married now!

Then my sweet husband had a surprise for me....for FHE we went to the BYU library and did some genealogical work and read about our ancestors! It was an amazing experience to see how far back we could trace our pedigrees.  We even found that some Perkins come from my great-great-great-great-great grandfather! Then we enjoyed some ice cream at BYU's creamery.

It was a great day and evening to celebrate the special day of April 30, 2010. I love Jared and am grateful he chose me to pursue ;) He does so much for me and loves me unconditionally (wow!)  I also know our love and marriage is everlasting- how cool is that?! Needless to say, I am one very VERY lucky woman to have Jared! Happy anniversary love!
love this man of mine!
just looking at him makes my knees go weak
