When I told Mike (my husband..Pictured above...in every photo.....you'll catch on) I was doing a blog, he asked if he was going to be in it...well sure, why not :) He's an insanely good husband, who i love to talk about, brag on, and just think about like all the time.. so he's bound to come up on here. so first and foremost.. before i get to blog crazy, i'll post some pics of the wedding day and how we met, especially if he asks, i can say " I blogged about you very first...sweety"

You can say Mike, Stole my heart away. I can try to throw excuses out there and beat around the bush, but when it really comes down to it, Mike stole me away.. from his best friend. 
I had dated his friend for a couple months before i had met Mike, and that very second when we finally did meet, we became best friends. I could and did talk to Mike all day everyday about any and everything. after about a year of dating his friend, it started to go down hill, and Mike was always there for me. When it finally ended, Mike........... confessed his love. I was weary. But i wanted it too.
We started to date, but then it began to come between his friend and him. Turns out the friend wanted what he couldn't have, or just didn't realize what he had til it was gone. what ever the case was, it wasn't good between them and i couldn't stand to do that... so i did the hardest thing i ever had to do (up til that moment) and broke it off with my best friend and new love. But Mike never gave up. We began to talk and date again after awhile and he had to have a hard talk with his friend and pretty much ask for his blessing. It took time, and it was hard on all of us, but the seas have calmed now. Mike and I dated for another year after that (mostly long distance) then we got engaged on February 26th 2010, at a lake... (i guess i'll save that story for another day.)
Because Mike had just been baptized a month before that, we decided to wait a year to get married, another year, Long Distance. That year was the hardest, yet most rewarding thing i've ever done!
We've been through alot together, but it makes us stronger. 
Its the best being married to My Best Friend!
*He puts the sparkle in my life*
