Ten years ago today Matt popped the question and I said yes. Since then, my life has changed for the better. We've had our struggles, our challenges but he had always remained constant, caring, loving.
When we were dating, Matt would arrange his schedule so he could give me a ride anywhere {he couldn't stand the thought of me riding the bus, even though it was in orem and very safe}. Every time I'd get in his car the same song would be on. I wasn't familiar with Smashing Pumpkins so it took me awhile to even notice. It would be playing quietly in the background. Finally we had a quiet moment and I could hear it... "I'm in love with you...I'm in love with you...I'm in love with you..."
When we had one of our first talks of getting married, Matt confessed to me that knew for a while that he wanted to marry me...I guess I was slow. I didn't realize how fast it happened for him, but he was patient and just waited until I knew, too.
So for awhile, all he could do was play that song to hint to me how he felt since he couldn't say anything yet.
I loved him then and still do. I feel so old though, saying that it's been 10 years since then.
I hope everyone has a day of love...no matter what kind of love you want to celebrate.
Happy Valentine's Day.

Patience is a rare trait, I think. It's so nice to have a hubby like that. :)
