Day 4 Wife

Today I give thanks for the light of my life, my darling wife Alexis. As of this writing we have been married 1 year and just over 3 months. It has been the happiest time of my life, it has also been the time of my most growth. My wife and I had our first date late January of 2011 at the time I was living in Provo, Utah and commuting to Salt Lake City for school. Alexis lived in Bountiful, and hour away from Provo. I also happened to be working a full time graveyard shift and battling a serious case of what was to be later diagnosed as Crohn's Disease.

So I spent the next eight months on little to no sleep, malnourished, and I developed an infection and a case of the shingles before it was all over. She's worth it. Not only is my wife strikingly gorgeous, she's both an artist and a writer. Believe it or not she's also a gamer, yep that's right my eternal love plays video games with me. She also grounds me and keeps me even keeled, she's that woman, you know the one that makes you want to be a better man?

I'm so fortunate because she's the perfect match for me, marriage isn't about finding someone who has all the same interests as you and is just like you. Two identical puzzle pieces don't fit together, marriage is about finding the one who completes you, whose strengths are your weaknesses and whose weaknesses are your strengths. I found my puzzle piece and I'm ever grateful that I found her, she's my one and only and will be an amazing mother. I wish the best on all those who're still searching for their other half, because your other half is searching for you.
