I think the treasure that I am the most grateful for is the love of my life, Brian. I met Brian when I was 18 years old in a college choir class. Brian's friend convinced him to take one class at Mesa Community College and I sat right in front of him. From the moment we met, I knew that Brian was different from the other boys I had dated.
Brian is one of the most caring and compassionate people I know. He has a very soft heart which he gives to those he loves freely and without reservation. He loves unconditionally and without hesitation. Brian has always protected me and still does even now. He has always treated me with respect teaching our boys the way that men should treat the women in their live. This year has been filled with more than a few challenges and through it all Brian has fought hard for himself and our family. Brian has made many sacrifices for us and I think that I have taken those sacrifices for granted. I don't tell him nearly enough how much I love, respect and rely on him.
Brian has a great sense of humor and is just fun to be around. He is always first to make a bad situation better by making a joke or pointing out something that is funny. Brian honors his priesthood and has taught our boys to honor theirs.
Brian is without a doubt my most precious treasure. I am grateful every day to my Heavenly Father for helping our paths to cross, for the tender mercies of the Spirit and for the man that I am so happy and blessed to call my husband.
