Vows

I was cleaning out my filing box today throwing away stuff from 2007 and I stumbled upon my file of wedding stuff. I found the vows Jared and I wrote to each other for our ring ceremony. Hopefully Jared doesn't mind me sharing them.....

me to Jared
I still remember when we met and I was immediately drawn to you. We bonded and became friends right away. As our friendship grew I was able to see what an amazing man you were. I love your adventurous spirit and your passion for life. I love your open mind and loving nature. I love your knowledge and desire to learn more. You are kind hearted and an amazing sibling. I know you will be an amazing husband and father. I promise to always love you, and be there for you and from this day forward never make you sleep on the couch.

Jared to me
The ability to love and care for one another is the greatest gift our Father in Heaven has given to his children. From the time we met, I have never doubted your amazing gift to nurture and love those around you. To be able to create this family with you is beyond my ability to comprehend. All my life I have told myself that I will never settle for a woman that is any less that the most important woman in my life, my mother. I promise that I will spend every waking moment of my life in the fierce pursuit of being at least a small part of the kind of loving husband and caring father that my dad is. May we follow the example our parents have shown to us so we can be happy as they are. I love you.

Gosh, I can't believe this was two years ago. Now was are going to be parents and I guess we will really see if we can live up to the examples of our parents. Jared and I are so excited for the baby, we get to find out tomorrow if the baby is a boy or a girl. !?!?!
