Happy 4 years!! (one day late)

Dustin and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary yesterday. I almost can't remember my life without Dustin in it because we started dating 8.5 years ago. From the very beginning we spent as much time together as possible, except during our two years apart while Dustin served a mission. Even though we were apart for so long, I knew that we were meant to be together. Dustin has always made me so happy, and no one could ever compare to him. We have always been best friends, and that still hasn't changed today. I feel like I could write pages about why I love Dustin so much, but the truth is, a girl could not ask for a better husband (or if you talk to my mother, a better son-in-law :) ) Dustin is a very happy, genuine, and laid back person, and over the years he has helped me to stop worrying so much about all the little things. He makes me want to be a better person, and that is what I love about him. We have been through a lot in the last four years (6 moves, Dustin finishing school, buying 2 homes, moving across the country for his internship, 2 miscarriages, a flooded basement, home renovation done by us, and so much more). Even though we have been through some hard times, I still look back on it all with fondness because we had each other through it all. Plus, all the hard things make the good things even better. The best thing we have experienced as a married couple is definitely the birth of our beautiful little girl, Ella. It was a long road for us to have a baby, but it was so worth it and the timing could not have been better. Dustin was so great my whole pregnancy and was a champ in the delivery room. Ella is such a joy in our lives and I love seeing Dustin as a father. He is so amazing with her and will do almost anything to make her laugh. I know when she gets older she is always going to think her dad is so cool. I would love to write more but Ella just woke up and is screaming. I just want Dustin to know that I love him so much and I appreciate all he does. I feel like I hae the best husband in the world and I can't wait to spend forever with him. Below is a picture from our wedding day (I don't have digital copies of our real ones) and a recent picture of our little family now.
