My thoughts

Michael and I have been married for three years now, and when I look back at the very beginning, I realize that we didn't have very much to our name, well, other than our deep and abiding love for each other...=). Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining. I'm just stating how it was. We owned our bed, the tv, an old couch from Deseret Industries, an electric piano, a twin bed, a lamp, and a $5 dinky tv stand, also from D.I. We borrowed several pieces of furniture from my aunt and uncle, like a card table, metal fold-up chairs, lamps, a couple of nightstands, and a coffee table.

Now, we boast of many items that belong to us: not 1, but 2 couches, one of which is a hide-a-bed, an antique bookcase, dresser, a nice tv stand, a card table with 4 chairs, and thanks to my wonderful grandmother, we also have recently acquired a piano. Michael has even mentioned purchasing an actual dining table and matching chairs.

You may be wondering why I'm writing all this in an entry. I guess I've just had one of those days where I look back and see how far I've come in life. And not only in material possessions. I have a wonderful husband and an intelligent daughter. I have learned so much and I continue to be healthy. I have really come to appreciate the little things in life and look forward to many more years of prosperity and happiness.
