sheltered

{our very first ever picture together.=) loved this day.<3}

today mark and i have been married for 8 years.=) it's so crazy that it has been that long because it literally feels like 2 years a go we were these young, carefree (and careless) kids riding around in his jeep listening to metallica and 2pac. or mark was flying me down to vegas to bring him the extra set of keys to his car because he and his friends had lost them. or he was making the trip from downtown slc 4 times a week to come and get me from my dorm at byu just to have to take me back a few hours later. now we are semi-grown up;), raising our two, most precious boys and trying to keep the chaos in our lives down to a minimum. changes.=) i love you, my markus. i knew i loved you that night you were rubbing my head while i was sick and watching seven brides for seven brothers with me.=) i love you being my husband. i love you being the dad to my babies. i love you for being a man and for being my man. i love you taking care of me and being my shelter.  i love you being the texter to my phone at all hours of the day and night. i love you  for knowing and seeing my very worst and still wanting me and loving me so much anyway. i love you for being my best friend. i love you for telling me when i'm wrong and when i'm right.=) i love you making me laugh when i'm upset. i love you balancing out my flightiness with your steadiness. i love that every bit of you is so genuine. and you know i've always loved your calves.;) miss you, wish you were here to celebrate. xxox

and now for one of your anniversary gifts....
{ta-da!!! it has been found!=) for those of you who don't know, i lost my wedding ring on a trip to st. george back in june.  since then everyone who has gone down to mark's parents has looked for it with no luck...until yesterday. we went over the weekend and i looked all over for it and nada, no where. i figured it must have fallen off when we were out somewhere. then yesterday (perfect timing) my sister-in-law, kristen, sent me a picture text of her wearing my ring that she found under a bed while looking for some socks. (there is no need to send me flowers for saving avery now, kristen. we'll call it even, a child for a ring.;)) it's an anniversary miracle!;)}

after reading this, I am upset that I started writing a blog about "markus" a little over a month ago and never finished it...call me the queen of procrastination...crazy how I set off to write about someone I think I met for a second...but I feel I know him much more and I guess the reason I wanted to write it is because I love the way he loves you the most...thank your lucky little starrs ;) you got yourself a good one!
happy (late) anniversary to the pitts...if I never find this darn "perfection" I am running around looking for I hope I can at least find something as real, honest, and profound as what you both have in eachother...cause heaven knows us flightly ones need steadiness and shelter! <3 all 4 of you!
