Happy Birthday

Thomas S. Monson said:  "Essential to your success and happiness is the advice 'Choose your friends with caution.' We tend to become like those whom we admire, and they are usually our friends. We should associate with those who, like us, are planning not for temporary convenience, shallow goals, or narrow ambition--but rather with those who value the things that matter most, even eternal objectives.

"Maintain an eternal perspective. . . There is no scene so sweet, no time so sacred as that very special day of your marriage. Then and there you glimpse celestial joy."

"Be Thou an Example," Ensign, May 2005

Making the decision to marry you for time and all eternity was a cinch.  I knew you had everything I wanted and needed and you have always exceeded my expectations.  This marriage journey we've taken together hasn't been effortless.  We've worked so hard to stay true to our covenants and our family goals, but we've fallen short many, many times. We've been married for seven years and life hasn't gotten easier, but the objective is more worth fighting for.  I'm so lucky to walk hand in hand with you, my dear best friend, as we discover our potential- with Christ as our guide.   Happy 29th Birthday Bryan.
