My Love

Caleb and I had our date night Saturday evening. We went to the Logan temple. I remember the day we got married the sealer said to Caleb to keep taking me to the temple and that each time he did, he was telling me he still wanted me forever. Caleb has been insistent that we frequently attend the temple. ;) I love that boy! We went to the temple twice in August, three times in September, once in November, and now once in December. Our goal is to continue to attend at least once a month together. Whenever he reminds me that we should go to the temple, i just remember our wedding day and what Caleb was told. I love him so much.

I never could have imagined loving someone as much as I do him. I know that if my little beehive self could have seen the life I have now with my sweetheart, I would have thought it was heaven! I married the best man I know and the man I know the most! Every day his character strengthens mine. He is a hard worker. He doesn't quit when he's tired. He quits when he is done. He is a quiet example to me of what I should be doing. He never talks down to me when reminding me or encouraging me to do something. He is very intelligent and could easily make others or myself feel stupid for not knowing all the things he knows or not being good at all the things he is good at... but he doesn't. One of the very first things I loved about Caleb was how he explained things to me. I am a very inquisitive person. Usually, when someone is talking, if they mention something I am unfamiliar with I will ask them what they mean or what is that they are talking about. I have been the center of many public humiliations (ask my sophomore girls choir class). When I ask Caleb, he doesn't laugh at me, he doesn't ask "you didn't know that?!" He just kindly explains. I watch him with children and he is the same way. Our land lord has 4 beautiful children. The younger three come downstairs and play with Caleb and I a lot. I don't think he realizes how much I watch him. I watched him as he taught them how to play a few of the games we have. He didn't just let them win on purpose or let mistakes go, but he was fun, kind, and loving about teaching them. Eventually, the kids got good enough that they could win. I look up to him. I never remember playing with my dad any game. I never remember him teaching me or talking to me the way Caleb did with those children.

I have overwhelming gratitude for Caleb's mom and dad. I know they are in large part the reason Caleb is the honest, upright, kind, man that he is. I will forever honor them as the wonderful parents they were."A man who treats his woman like a princess, is proof he was raised by a queen" LOVE THAT QUOTE. That is so him.
