It has been bliss. But it has also been work and compromise and growth and help and kindness and love and learning. Fifteen years seemed like so long back in 1996. I couldn't even fathom the number. I remember introducing ourselves in our BYU married ward and saying we'd been married 2 months, and it seemed like forever. It's been a little longer than that now and I can still say it has flown by. I'm grateful for this man I married. He has taught me so much by his example, his kindness, his willingness to work, and even by his stubbornness. (I don't think his family believes me when I say he's stubborn. But, like most other things, I'm right about this:) I think what I have learned most from being married to Zach is to give myself a break and to let myself learn and improve step by step, instead of expecting it all at once. I so appreciate his faith and his determination to do the right thing. Here's to you, Zach. And here's to another 15 years of growth and learning and bliss.
