Some days I can't believe it's only been 3 years and other times, it's like really, 3 years already. I married my best friend 3 years ago. Bryce came to me a just the right time by the hand of the Lord. Most people know all that I had been through. He truly saved me and just at the right time.
Bryce and I met in April 2007 online. We were both about ready to give up on the website and it was BOTH of our last months as paying members. We had each met our share of crazy people and I was sooooooooo sick of the games. I had been divorced. I had been in my share of bad relationships since my divorce and I just wanted to be wanted and wanted someone to show me the respect I deserved.
Well, Bryce asked for more pictures, so I emailed him some (thinking there is no way I'm going out with this guy--he's younger than Dougie!) and FORGOT my phone number is part of my signature on my email. I get a text shortly after that and he calls me and we talked for a few hours. We talked for about a week before I got up the courage to meet him in person. So we went to Cafe Rio, took my Pit Bull Rascal to the park and watched 2 movies until 3am. Yes we watched the movies (most of them). Fast forward 3 weeks, we hadn't spent a night apart and we were at the mall. We decided to look at rings and the next thing I know we were buying one. It was a SWEET deal and one that wasn't going to be around. The next week he proposed and the rest is history.
Bryce and I waiting patiently for my temple cancellation to come. It finally came and said, "you temple sealing has been canceled...HOWEVER....(wait, it can't really say however), you have to wait a year to be sealed or you can be married civilly and be sealed in a year. Either way we were waiting so 2 weeks later we still had our wedding.
I remember giving my speech at the wedding lunch that we had after the ceremony and saying how God really had blessed the broken road and lead me straight to Bryce. I had hit ROCK BOTTOM right before I met Bryce, I was a mess. He picked me up and carried me and he still does. He's my rock, my best friend, my eternal companion and I love him more and more each day.
A year and 5 days later, we sealed our love in the St. George Temple for Eternity! Our families and some friends were there to celebrate with us. It was a fabulous day!!! I remember the relief I felt that day and how blessed I was to be sealed to this amazing man.
Then one year later our lives got even sweeter as we welcomed Robert Jack into our lives on the 30th (just 8 days after our 2nd Anniversary and 3 weeks early). I can't even begin to express my grateful for Bryce that day. I could have NEVER done what I did, if it wasn't for Bryce. Seriously 24 hrs in the hospital before he was born, 4+ hrs of pushing and NO progress and then an emergency C-section because his heart rate suddenly dropped. He was by my side. He stood through the blood, he cried, he worried and he PRAYED. He is my hero.
I love you Brycee more and more each day!!!
