10 Years and counting

Tomorrow we are going to be celebrating our 10Th year Anniversary. I can't believe that it has been that long since we got married. I can remember the excitement we felt, I can also remember how sick I was the night before and Dan gave me a blessing. The morning of our Temple Marriage we woke up so early and nervous. We sat together in the car on the way there holding hands and barely speaking. I was just thinking how lucky I was to have somebody like him by my side and I didn't care about anything else. The trees were beautiful that day and it seemed to me they had the prettiest colors, perfect enough for our background in the pictures. Our Temple ceremony was very special and I was so glad my Mom and my aunt could be there with me since my entire family could not be there for the wedding. I know I made a lot of decisions before coming to this country but the hardest one was to leave all my friends and family and to know that they were not going to be there with me for the wedding. After we came out of the Temple we were all smiles and it was like a dream, I just wanted to get away from everybody and go far far away with my new husband. I think the Temple ceremony would have been more than enough for me that day. If I could do it all over again I would do it without thinking twice. I have complained in the past that on that day things didn't go the way we wanted. I had a big cold sore on my upper lip and felt really ugly, I didn't get to go to a salon and get my hair fixed like any other bride (I didn't know where to go because I was so brand new here), I didn't want to stand in a silly line for two hours at the reception and both Dan and I wanted to have tamales for the reception. I know those things are not important and I am grateful for all the nice thing people did for us and for taking care of the arrangements. The funny thing is that even with all the things that didn't go my way, we still got married, we are still together and we are happy. My husband needs to know that even when things are not that perfect in our crazy life I still love him more than 10 years ago and I still want to be married to him and also love our little ones. When we said we wanted to be together forever I meant it and I am trying really hard to be the best wife and mother that I can. I loved you then, I love you now and I will love you forever, you are the best husband I could have asked for and you are PERFECT for me.
