I want to grow old with you

I am such a softy... true story.. today I started to cry out of the blue because I was watching a commercial of an elderly couple dancing and kissing. At first my eyes only got a little teary eyed and before I knew it I was balling. My sister and Brandon thought I was faking but after 3 minutes they knew that those were no crocodile tears. Once I composed myself I thought I was crazy... I do not often cry over a commercial! The reason I cried is because lately I have felt a closer bond to my loving husband then ever before. I get sad sometimes when he is not near me like the time he went to Tucson to a UofA game and I stayed home :( It was not the same without him for those 5 hours. I can only imagine how the wives of our troops must feel on a daily basis. That is why every day I wake up to this wonderful man I thank God for everyminute I have him in my life. I just do not know what I would do if I woke up one day and he was gone. If anyone knowns my husband you can see all the reasons why I am so deeply in love with him. I have never in my life met anyone as compassionate and sentimental as my husband. He wears his emotions on his sleeve and is not afraid to cry. I admire that about him because I think it is a quality some men do not have. He knows when to admit that he made a mistake and loves my imperfections. I love how he does not try to change me. Brandon loves my imperfections and it is why I strive to be a better person. Seing the elderly couple made me cry. My tears were not tears of sadness rather tears of joy because I pictured Brandon and I growing old together. It makes me so happy to know that even when we are old and are hands are wrinkled they will tell a story of all the loving memories we made as a young couple. I know that after we get old and die we will only die here on earth because we will continue to love each other endlessly in heaven. I am looking forward to getting sealed in the temple. I would go through all the heartache and shed as many tears in a heart beat because I know that it would lead me to sharing my life with Brandon. So long ago I remember staying up at night and praying that one day I would be happy. One of those prayers went unanswered but for all the right reasons :) It is like I said when I bared my testimony I had a beautiful picture in my mind of the canvas I wanted to draw but being baptized gave me all those tools to paint my beautiful picture. I know that my faith has only gotten stronger being next to Brandon and sharing my life with him has only made my testimony stronger. Because you know something that canvas was of my husband and I being together for all eternity with our heavenly father. So I can honestly say that my canvas is yet not complete but it has only began :)
