One Grateful Mrs.

Yesterday I found myself just staring at Colby.
 We were sitting in our cousin's ward as they had just blessed their baby girl and I realized that I haven't taken much time lately to express my gratitude for him out loud.
 They asked that all worthy priesthood holders that had been invited to join the circle come forward, Colby gave me a quick kiss on the forehead and then he stood up. Before the blessing of baby Iris even began, I had tears in my eyes. As he walked away I couldn't take my eyes off of him.
Never in my whole life have I imagined that I deserved someone as incredible as Mr Carter. He treats me like gold, keeps a smile on my face, and constantly keeps me laughing.
 When I was 12 years old, I was sitting in Young Women's at church and the teacher was asking for a volunteer for the prayer, when no one raised their hand, she told us that the opportunities you take to volunteer for prayer will determine how cute your spouse will me. I still chuckle at how many times my arm shot up at the thought of marrying someone cute. I use this same thought in my sunday school class each week and even though the boys roll their eyes, the girls are all over it.

I still hate the word divorce but I'm so glad that I am now able to appreciate the little things and that I was able to find Colby through it all. Each day I become stronger and more confident in myself and the things around me. Heavenly Father brought me to it, and he is helping me through it, everyday. I understand that it will always be a constant struggle when certain things come up but I'm up for the challenge.
 As each new day approaches, I find myself more and more in love with Colby and being his wife.
