Marriage is a Wonderful Thing!

I have been blessed over the last few months to have lots of experiences that have allowed me to reflect on how wonderful a thing marriage truly is!

Early in December, Broc's cousin Tyson married his sweetheart in the Salt Lake Temple. Though I was unable to attend, I heard many wonderful stories of the beautiful day.

That coupled with 2 of my close friends getting engaged, 1 ex-roommate tying the knot and celebrating my parents 30th wedding anniversary has helped me take a step back and give thanks for the divinity of marriage and family! 

What a wonderful thing that Heavenly Father sends us to earth in families! I think I have the best family around! Both my biological family and the family I married into! They all bring my heart such joy and happiness simple because they are MY family! And, naturally, I also think I have the best husband any gal could request! He is just so perfect for my crazy ways--and trust me when I say my ways are crazy! I love that Broc of mine! :)

To my parents who have loved, laughed, cried, been faithful, and above all have been committed to each other  through all the ups and downs I give particular thanks! So glad we were able to spend their anniversary together as a family! They are such great examples to me! And to all the other friends and family I love that are taking the plunge, just know this, marriage truly is a gift! One that should never be taken for granted and requires lots of work but is inevitably the most wonderful gift ever given! As we like to say in the Buttars household...our marriage is our most precious asset and for that I am forever grateful!
