Five years and seven months to the day.
That's how long I have sat alone with my children at church.
That's how long I have come home from church with out my hubby.
That's how long I have been making scones for the youth on fast Sunday.
That's how long I have watched Mark silently bear burdens that only a Bishop can bear.
Five years and seven months to the day.
That's how long our family has been blessed by many prayers.
That's how long our family has been blessed by service and sacrifice.
That's how long our family has been blessed by so many ward members.
Eternity.
That's how long we will continue to be blessed by a wonderful husband and father to my children.
Mark may no longer be the Father of our ward but I am privileged to be sealed to this wonderful man for eternity.
Mark will turn 50 soon. We have been married for almost 27 years yet he constantly amazes me. He works hard, plays hard and excels in all he does. He touches my heart and makes me laugh. He is tender and kind though he does not wear his heart on his sleeve. I have learned so much about integrity and honesty from this man. He strives for perfection and while he is not perfect he is very very good. I couldn't ask for a better companion and father for my children.
I love you!

sorry about a tree falling on your car and sorry about your ring being lost. but at least you found it!:) you know, if you weren't getting so skinny your ring wouldn't be falling off of your finger all the time...
your testimony on sunday was great. enjoy your time with your hubby now.
An entire era passed...what a great example he has been. Interested to hear what the transition is like.
