How do I love thee?

Let me count the ways:

Isaac and I have been married almost an entire 3 month period. Astounding isn't it?? Anyways, I have been thinking about what makes Isaac such a wonderful find for me and here I will list a few for your reading enjoyment (especially for Isaac, since I love him so much!).

1. Isaac loves going to the temple. He has really pushed in our marriage to go weekly and when we fail he is really let down. He really has to push because temple attendance means early wake-up calls for me and I do NOT like waking up early. We went to a 7 a.m. sealing session this morning and though I was very cranky on the way there, the session was a beautiful experience and I am very grateful he took me there!

2. Isaac is gentle and kind. He will make a fun, wonderful father once we have children. I always tease him that he is going to corrupt them with a bad example, but I know that if my children can learn to be as he is they will be amazing people.

3. Isaac is trusting and trustworthy. He doesn't break my confidence and I work hard not to break his (though it is hard to keep secrets about certain subjects!).

4. Isaac is generous. Right after we went to the temple, Isaac went and spent 3 hours helping out in a EQ service project. I came home and slept. He is very service oriented and I love that about him!

5. Isaac is very tolerant of my movie preferences and even likes what I bring home! I bought Mr. Smith Goes to Washington on DVD at Smith's the other night and we watched it together one night. I got tired (a common occurence in our house) and went to bed and Isaac stayed up to finish it. He then watched it again the very next night. Other movies I have bought (all old movies) and he has really enjoyed watching them with me or without me. It has been delightful to share this as a couple.

6. Isaac makes me breakfast sometimes. 'Nuff said.

I really can't say enough about him, but a lot of what I want to say can't be put into words. I am so grateful for the blessing of eternal marriage. I'm so grateful that we can build and grow together for months and years and decades. Marriage hasn't been the girlish fantasy I had in junior high, but it has been more real, more beautiful, much better all around. I love you, Isaac. Te amo hasta el fin de la eternidad...que no existe.
