In advance of our two-month anniversary tomorrow (we'll be in Colorado), I would like to commemorate the amazingincrediblewonderfulness that is the marriage of James & Valerie Holley.
Here are some of the things that make our marriage great:
-Weekly date nights. Some recent ones include B&N, sushi, seeing Warm Bodies, laser tag at Trafalga, and more.
-Spending other quality time together. We are currently experiencing a Rock Band fixation.
-Continuing to get to know each other better every day.
-Going to church together. (I love having my jacket; it makes church much more better.)
-James does the dishes.
-Performing together.
-Going to the temple together. We went and did sealings this month, which was incredible.
-Teaching together. (James is my assistant instructor twice a week. I also teach Sport Poomsae, which James attends, and he teaches Advanced Weapons, which I attend.)
-Surprises. (For example, James randomly brought home roses yesterday, just to make me happy.)
-Other stuff.
Everything is not perfect. We have days when we are tired, or grumpy, or not feeling well. We sometimes say things to each other that hurt, or that are misunderstood. We still have plenty of things to figure out. To pretend otherwise would be just that--pretending.
But we are happy. We make a point every day (okay, like 27 times a day) to tell each other that we love one another. We plan time together. We talk. We try to be open and communicative. We make a sincere effort to bring the other person happiness. And it's working.
Bring on eternity, baby.
