To The Love of My Life…

Dearest Darling Sweet Adam,

Almost 8 years ago I met you in my meager little apartment down in Provo at Sparks II Apartments. You were patient and waited 45 minutes to talk to me while I chatted on the phone with “another guy.” Although I don’t remember a lot about that first interaction with you, I do remember thinking how calm and nice your voice was. You were again patient with me when you tried 3 different times to ask me out only to never have your calls returned. I’m so glad you didn’t give up on me. To think what I could have missed out on had you not called that one last time, pains me to my soul.

You were patient again as we began dating and I told you about some of my “issues” I was having in my life that caused me to not want to get into a serious relationship. And you became my best friend and confidant while I worked through those issues month after month. I still remember the day my Mom looked at me as we were driving to work together and said, “I think that Adam just may sneak up on you!” She was SOOO right, and within months I found myself falling helplessly in love with you. What started out as friendship was now becoming the most beautiful love I’d ever experienced. You were everything I’d ever dreamed of and I felt like the most blessed woman in the world to have your love in my life. You were my knight I’d been searching for, for so many years. And somehow, remarkably enough, you loved me too and asked me to be your wife.

Our wedding day was as blissful as they come. Promises made to me in my Patriarchal Blessing were fulfilled in the Temple that day as we knelt across from each other and made sacred covenants. Never in all my life had I ever felt more sure peace come over me that I was in the right place, with the right person, at the right moment in my life. It was as if every single tiny minuscule decision I’d ever made in my life had brought me to “THAT MOMENT.” And I knew I was exactly where my Heavenly Father wanted me to be. In your arms for Eternity…

Now almost 8 years later, here we are. We have three beautiful little boys. A family. We both have been able to accomplish our Educational goals by getting our Masters degrees. As of last year we were able to buy our first house together which we have made into our home. We have moved together 6-7 times, have cried and laughed until our sides hurt, we have overcome trials, and worked together through issues. And we have GROWN…

I’m not sure how I could adequately express my love for you in words. In my Patriarchal blessing It says “that our love will grow and be manifested in many ways.” I have certainly felt that and can see that Heavenly Father is keeping that promise because I am more in love with you today, and I continue to feel that love grow as each year passes.

You are a man of fierce loyalty. I have never had to question you. You do the right thing even no one is looking. I’m convinced you are the most pure man I have ever met. And I’m so grateful you are mine. You love to serve, and help others. You especially love to serve your family. You always put us first even when you have other pressing deadlines and expectations set of you. We can feel how much you love us by all the little thins you do for us. You sacrifice so much for us, and work so hard to make sure we have everything we need. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be able to be an at home Mom. What a blessing this has been to our family and its because of your willingness to work hard, and make those sacrifices, that I can be home. Thank you for making that possible.

I love you with all my heart Adam Clint Egbert and hope you know that I still consider myself the luckiest woman alive to have you as my eternal companion. You mean the world to me and are my dream come true!

All my love to you this Valentines Day!

Your Wiff-ey in da Hood,
