Today is our 35 Anniversary!
He was twenty one when he took my trembling hand across the Holy alter at the Manti Temple, I was still a girl. A Girl who hid shy with low self esteem and was swallowed down with fear of not being good enough. He changed all that....I love him.
When I tell people we have been married for 35 years they can't believe it...not sure why....seems like yesterday to me....but then again, a life time ago when we started our journey.
Today I would like to share 35 habits we practice and enjoy that I believe keeps us holding hands and looking for each others eyes in the crowd.... just to pass a look that says....I see you.
