Jared

I knew you were the man I was going to marry when you changed my gauze without flinching after my wisdom teeth were removed.....16 times.  When you stood beside me during hard moments. When you literally ground wheat and made me bread.  I hadn't eaten carbs for a year and you won me over to "Team Jared" with homemade bread.  It was a genius move. 
You are the best person I know.  I told you once that you brought things to the table that I didn't even know I wanted, and that is still so true. 

You're my favorite person and I promise to always love you with a kind heart, listen to you tell stories in the dark, hold your hand while you drive, and read all of the conference talks you send me.  I promise to always appreciate your romantic, tender heart and try to be interested when you tell me about rocks, and to savor every love letter you write me.  I promise to love your children, throw slimy balls for your dogs and not judge the things I find in your pockets. I promise to hug you after you come home from running, sing with you on road trips, and help you find your lost keys...and phone.....and wallet.....and work badge....and fitbit.  I promise to follow your example and try every day to love you in a way that makes you feel like the most important person in the world. 


You're the second chance that I didn't think I would get and I promise to never take that for granted.  I will always love you most.

Jenalee,
Since you came into my life you have filled me up with so much happiness and joy. I love your goodness and how you love me in return. Countles times you have sttod by my side and loved me in a way that I didn;t know was even possible. You have lit up my life and our paths have crossed for a divine reason. Looking out over the night lights from atop the Ogden bench with you next to me, I felt such a stron impression in my heart that I wanted to embark on this journey of life together. I am so grateful to share this journey with you and look forward to another lifetime full of amazing memories and blessings with you.
I promise to always hold you close to me. To give you at least 8 hugs a day and above all to love you with all that I know and all that I am. I promise to stand by your side and always be on your team. I hope to always be able to lift you up in my arms and float you to the top of the water (or to the top of any other life challenge) just as we have many times at all of our favorite hot springs. I promise to stand by your side and always be on your team. I will do my best to give you all of my heart and cherish you in a way that you need. As my favorite Imagien Dragons lyris say. Do you know the line that I would walk for you> We could turn around and we could give it up. We;re walking the wire, we;re going be higher up! I promis you from up above that we'll take what come!! Love.. This is our second chance! For which I am eternally grateful. I love you more than words can say.
Love Jared
