Today I wanted to tell the world this: That I am absolutely, 100%, head-over-heels in love with T. I always hoped and dreamed that someone like him existed, but I didn't look for him because, for me, someone like him would have seemed too magical to be real. Granted, he's got personality traits I never could have come up with on my own- before I met him, I didn't even know that fluffernutter sandwiches existed and I never knew that my future hubs would have a serious fondness for cars, cars, and more cars. Which is quite possibly the reason why I'm now a co-owner (he's still getting over the fact that his car is now our car. Shh, I didn't tell you that) of our cherry red BMW whom we lovingly call Johnny.
I've heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest. Is it really? Those marriages must not have a husband like mine that knows how to treat his wife like a queen. I lose count of the kisses I receive on a daily basis and the times spent where we're talking about how we can better each others days and help each other with the others trials.
Sometimes, through the monotony of everyday life, I take T for granted. I don't laugh at some of his jokes because I'm too busy doing the dishes or that he can't watch a youtube video or see a "cool" phone on the internet without showing me every other funny part/awesome gizmo. I forget that his quirks are some of the things that drew me to him and made me love him even more. The way he leaves every water bottle out in the oddest places after he's downed its contents still makes me smile and think about what he might have been doing to leave it behind the T.V or how it somehow made it's way on the bathroom counter.
But when I have time to stop and look at him (or when I decide to just think about how dreamy he is) and look at the world we have begun to create for ourselves, I'm overwhelmed with peace and happiness. Every little touch we share, every look, every thought, makes us closer than most. We shared one of those moments this morning.
We went back to the Bountiful temple for the first time since we have been married, I was reminded of the covenants I have made and the blessings that I am entitled to now that I am married to T. I can't help but become overwhelmed with emotion and gratefulness as my husband was able to be with me in the Celestial room, holding my hand, and feeling the special love we get to share forever. Forever. That seems like a pretty special promise to me. I get to love T into the eternities.

I'm excited to become even more crazy about the man that I married. Because, really, I already am crazier than crazy for him.
