To be honest i have never been a fan of this holiday. I always looked at it as a reason to spend more money on the person we love.. I love spending money on Jared, don't get me wrong.. However, being the wonderful poor college students we are, i have been given the gift of making the most of a special day without any money. I laugh and say that Jared made a bad financial investment in marrying me ( my tuition is OUTRAGEOUS!!), but he has been so willing to work hard and support me through all my mood swings (they are often), the stress of school, knowing that our thursdays seem to depend on how i do on my tests i have every week. He works so hard and goes to school at night. Jared is my true knight in shining armor. To get married at 26 was not something i thought would happen in my life, but in all honesty i would do it all over again!! Yes, i know we have only been married 9 months, but he completes me in so many ways.. Here is a list of why i love him
1. he makes me laugh
2. he tells me how wonderful i am even when i know i do not deserve such a compliment
3. he would walk to the ends of the earth for me no matter the consequences
4. he is worth of his priesthood and is always so close with our Heavenly Father
5. jared has this amazing way of reaching out to others and making all feel accepted
6. he will do dishes, vacuum and take out the garbage without being asked!!
7. he is great with our nieces and nephews
8. he never gives up hope
9. each day he strives to be better and helps me when i want to give up
10. he is my best friend, my EC (eternal companion), i would honestly be lost if i did not have him
The lord works in mysterious ways. i know jared and i met when we were both ready to. Things moved amazing fast, but i have never been happier in my life. I love you jared and i am so proud of all you do!! thanks for putting up with me!! I hope as valentines day comes up you take time to reflect on those you love and remember the amazing people we have in our lives.. I will let my "scroogeness" go on this Valentines day..
