[still dancing through life.]

last week i was thinking about our anniversary.  four years.  

you remember the day you're getting married - you feel so in love, so happy.  

and as i thought about it, i realized how little i really knew about love then. 

and how much it's grown over just four years.

i didn't know i could feel a love like this. 

i have a good feeling about this year.

[after all, four is my favorite number.]

favorite friday nights.

[draper utah temple.]

i love spending a friday night with my favorite people in my favorite place.

and i especially love going in may because it reminds me of our wedding.

[four years ago! whoa!]
