Colton

Colton's Birthday Blog Shout Out 

Colton had his 28th birthday on July 9 :) We celebrated by going and getting as many "free" birthday things that we could get for him. We had dinner with family members and spent the entire day together. Exactly how he wanted :) 


I don't often post about our marriage/relationship on social media because I don't feel the need to. If you know me at all, you know I am the HAPPIEST I've ever been in my life over these last 5 years with Colton. I've never laughed so much, been loved more or treated better in my entire life. He deserves this little "blog shout out" because he is definitely one of a kind. Every day I am incredibly grateful he picked me... HE PICKED ME! :) I never believed in "soul mates" and all that stuff until I met Colton. On our first date, I felt completely different with him then I ever had on any other dates I went on. The day I told him I loved him was the day I knew I would never be truly happy if he was not in my life. It felt like I had found someone I had been searching for for 20 years. I'm so thankful for every moment and every person in my life that led me to him. It was a long journey for both of us to finally be ready for each other, even though he was always in the background living so close. I now strongly believe in soul mates and all that gushy love stuff. I bought this quote and it now hangs in our home and it basically sums up exactly how I feel about Colton..
"If I had my life to do over again, I'd find you sooner so I could love you longer"
I'm grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and know for a fact that there will never come a day where I will stop loving Colton.
