Everyone always says their mission was the best two (one and a half) years of their lives. Up until I lived this last year I would have agreed with them. Unfortunately I would completely disagree with them now! Serving a mission was truly the most rewarding, amazing time I had ever had. I didn't think anything could EVER be better. I am so happy to be proven wrong. Before I ever considered getting married I was, to be honest, terrified at the thought of it. Then when Curt and I got engaged everyone would tell us to "endure the first year because its hard but it gets better after that". We also heard, "enjoy the first years because after that is when it really gets hard". So from the begining Curt and I decided to do things our way and to do what ever it takes to make sure we are both always happy and trying to love and serve each other. To this day, one year one month and one day after the day we made the most important commitment we would ever make, we are still doing it our way. We decide everyday what is most important. We strive to treat each other with the most love we possibly can. We truly and sincerely love and care about one another and we never forget about the promises we made in the begining. As we have learned and grown together we have found so many new ways that we can grow and become better people and better spouses.
Now that we are expecting a third addition to our happy twosome we have grown even more love, patience, and commitment. We have learned that when you do things right life gets better and better! It truly has been ONE AMAZING YEAR!

Love you!
felicitari! wow, how amazing, i'm so happy for the three of you! you deserve all the happiness because i know you work hard and are proactive. i want to see you soon!!
Yea for happy couples!!! I was told the same thing and after a year was left wondering, "this isn't bad...why didn't anyone tell me it was going to be this GREAT?" I realize some people struggle, but I LOVE hearing that people are happy. That is how it is supposed to be.
Sometimes people are quick to point out that having a child will "totally change things" or "make your marriage harder."
NO WAY! Seeing Jason as a dad is like meeting a different side of him--I side that is even funner and lovable than I already knew was there. Being a mother is an eternal principal. (For all woman, not just those who have kids already) So now YOUR husband gets to see you fulfilling part of your divine nature. Sure that includes spit up and dirty diapers, but what would we write about in our blogs if we didn't have that!
Anyway, didn't mean to ramble. I just finished a conversation with my sister on this very topic and we both wanted to do a cheer for happy marriages!
You guys are so great! We are so lucky to be friends with you!
Congrats you guys! Yes, I agree that marriage is awesome and everyone always says the first couple of years are tough but i never knew what they meant. I don't think they were and even now, after being married for 5 years that im sure there are tougher things to come. I'm so glad that we both found great guys that treat us so well. Can't wait for your little one to arrive. Keep us updated. Oh yeah, i set my blog to private so send me your email and i'll add ya. chelisetoledo@hotmail.com
Hey! I was going through my photo stuff and found a disc of your wedding! Did you get the one from you mom, or do you want me to send you this one? Email me your address if you do - dkcphotos@gmail.com. Let me know when the little one gets here! I want to do her pictures as a gift like I did for Rachel!
