because...




** because I went to a stake dance in Goldendale


**because Jennifer didn't want to go talk to Lewis by herself


**because we started spending a lot of time together while in high school


**because we dated other people


**because I went to Tylers bbq


**because we spent those 2 weeks I was home, hanging out


** because I "convinced" you to come to Ricks


**because of letters and phone calls


**because you came to Rexburg to visit me, and didn't get bored


**because Laura left the room so "we could suck face"


**because we did


** because of Thanksgiving weekend when I knew " you were the ONE"


** because of emails and lots of late night phone calls


** because of lots of time spent apart


**because on July 18th, 1998 we said " I do" and we meant it


**because a little more than a year later, we had our first child


**because the next month, you took me to the temple


**because a little less than two years later, we had our 2nd child


** because 2 mo. after that I found out I was pregnant


** because you held me while I cried


** because 8 mo. later we had our 3rd


**because 4 mo. later you graduated from the Uof O,and I was "done" supporting you through school


**because a month later you went to OCS,and I had to experience life without you


** because I didn't enjoy life without you


**because since then, we have had a lot of time apart


**because we have had a few trips across country


**because we have made it through 14 hours on a plane, with 4 kids


**because we have been through so much...debt, sickness, deployments, moves


**because you love me despite of my fat rolls and double chin


**because you provide for me


**because you have " the broken road" on your ipod,and for the right reason


**because you are my handy man


**because you try not to tell very many people that I didn't have your tools packed


**because you indulge me


**because you spoil me


**because you are you




Our life is more tantrums and time outs then fancy dinners and diamonds, but it doesn't matter. I love you. More and more every day! Happy 9th anniversary my lobster!
