5 Years and Counting...

Five years ago this guy decided he wanted to marry me in the Mount Timpanogos Temple.

 I haven't regretted the decision I made to be sealed to him for time and all eternity. I'm not the type to brag about how great my husband is, but because we've made it to our first semi-big milestone as a married couple, I think it's time. 

Eric has always put me and our family first. When he realized I was a keeper, he worked extremely hard to finish his undergrad in 3 1/2 years so we could graduate BYU together.

Eric chose a career path that would allow him to take care of his family (with some hard work) so we picked up everything after graduation and moved halfway across the country to Kansas. He has been in school year round our entire marriage. 

 Through our countless doctor visits and my endless tears, Eric always stood by my side. He was my rock even if it meant he couldn't break down. 

We've traveled to a few countries during our marriage. 

And our nation's capital! Eric is the best traveling companion. We like to relax and go at our own pace. I always miss him when I have to travel alone.

We found our little Kinsey here in Kansas, and Eric proved to be just as good a dad as he is a husband. In fact, he was the first to be able to get Kinsey to sleep. 

 He is a wonderful Priesthood holder, and we were able to get sealed to Kinsey last fall. 

 Then we welcomed our two little miracles into the family. Eric cuddles a baby every night so I only have to handle one at a time. 

 I can't even begin to tell you all the work Eric has put in to the last five years while still managing to make me laugh daily. He has passed all his board exams with three little kiddos as a distraction, me in the hospital for almost a month, while holding a church calling. He's only months away from becoming a doctor and starting his own practice. I'm so proud of him!

 I love my eternal family so much!! The last five years have been good to us and I can't wait to see what the next five has in store. I couldn't have asked for a better husband to share my life with!
