~How do I love thee? Let me count the ways . . . (I)

                  

Billy, there are a zillion reasons why I love you.  You are the love of my 
life and how very grateful I am that our worlds collided and we became one.

I love you because you finally realized that we were 
meant to be together to share our lives through Eternity.

I love you because you married me in the temple. 
What an amazing day that was ~ the beginning of true happiness.

I love that when we first met you were persistent 

in entertaining me with your wit and thought-

provoking antics; I instantly fell deeply in love.

I love you because when you put your arm 

around me, my heart melts all over again.

I love when you laugh ~ everyone wants to be around you but I am

the luckiest because I get to be around you everyday and all night long.

I love you because you want me by your side ~ always.

I love that you can turn my life 

right side up when it goes upside down.

I love that you gave me 6 beautiful 

children that are who they are because of you. 

~~~~~~~~~

 I Have Loved You with an Everlasting Love;  

Have Drawn You with Loving Kindness.

I Was Born To Love You

I love you because after our sweet baby Mindy was born 
your love and devotion to our family multiplied. So precious 
were the moments when I'd watch you holding her in awe.

I love that you went to work every single day so 
that we could have the sensational life that we enjoy.
I love that you waited patiently for me to look high 
and low all over the world to finally find my Stud Muffin.

I love that you also wanted me to be a 'stay at home' mom so 
that I could enjoy every precious moment with our cutie patooties.  

I love that I am your "one and only" and there is 
no one else in the world that you'd rather be with. 

I Was Born To Love You by Queen

I was born to love you with every single beat of my heart. 

Yes, I was born to take care of you every single day of my life. 

You are the one for me I am the one for you. You were made 

for me, you're my ecstasy. If I was given every opportunity 

I'd kill for your love; so take a chance with me, let me romance 

with you. I'm caught in a dream and my dream's 

come true. So hard to believe this is happening to me. 

An amazing feeling Comin' through - I wanna love you

We had a dinner tonight at Mary Phelps home 

with some of our Thailand youth ~ such a fun evening!

Here are our cute young friends from Thailand (they are all studying 

down at BYU).   It was quite the delicious, healthy meal that Mary prepared 

(except for my fruit salad that had many preservatives and whip cream 😋😋😉)!

Such sweet, wonderful kids with such strong testimonies 

(Alaina brought her cute boyfriend, xxxxxx).

It is always so fun to get together with these kids ~ having an Ex-pat experience is the best thing in the world and brings a special 'family' bond that last forever!

Melanie & Emily Bunker, xxxxxxxxx, Mary Phelps, Alaina Pinvises and me.

 

      Healthy desserts and healthy ice cream ~ yummy 😋😋😋! 

After all the Thai kids went home there was a lunar eclipse!  Mary and I crept outside in our jammies and watched.  It was amazing ~ just beautiful. 

If you, like I, aren't sure how this took place I looked up exactly how a lunar 

eclipse happens; it's simple: it's when the Earth comes between the Sun and 

the Moon and covers the Moon with its shadow (the eclipsed Moon sometimes appears to turn red, earning it the nickname of "Blood Moon")! Pretty cool.  

The next Lunar Eclipse is in May of 2021.

Mary and I were planning on a sleepover Sunday night but instead
 we got two nights of partying! There was a huge blizzard during the night 
and I couldn't get my car out of the driveway.  It was gorgeous and I got 
to spend another wonderful day with one of my very favorite people!

The drive home on Tuesday was gorgeous!
