Happily Ever After...

Four years ago from this very moment we were driving away from the temple, as husband and wife. That was such a great day, a day that we planned and prepared for, argued about, (not me and Marshall, me and his mom- like Marshall gave a rats' about wedding stuff...!!) stressed about, and looked forward to. We knew had so much ahead of us... so many hopes and dreams and possibilities...of course we had plans, but who ever knows where life will really take them? I was thinking these things over in my head this afternoon while I was making tuna fish sandwiches for Drew and I, standing in my kitchen, barefoot and pregnant, (I apologize for the cliche, I am only using it because it's entirely true) as Drew happily played with his toys wearing his grubbiest Elmo t-shirt. I was chuckling to myself at how, just 4 years later, our lives have become so ordinary and mundane. A day that was such an ordeal, such a holiday only 4 years ago (while certainly still a very special day for Marshall and I, with cause to reflect and celebrate!) but nonetheless, still just a Wednesday; my husband went to work, and I am plugging away at the laundry, running errands, and going around cleaning up messes. (Sounds glamorous and exciting, I know!) But you know what?? There isn't one thing I would change about any of it...I have everything I have ever dreamed of, and I couldn't possibly ask for anything more.

It's not at ALL mundane. It's amazingly perfect, and sometimes when we feel our life is a little anti-climatic that might be a good thing. Nonetheless, marraige is great, being barefoot and pregnant is great, and I think your life is pretty darn close to fantastic and perfect. Besides, how could it not be with that fireball little boy you have! - Michelle
