michael

i'm so happy

and i'm glad i'm happy

i have the world's best husband

and i'm so happy to be a mom 

i have the two most wonderful children

they bring me so much joy

michael is the best husband i could ever have

he's so nice

and agreeable

and lets me do ridiculous things

and likes it

he treats me like a queen

always

he thinks i'm hilarious

like really thinks it

and i'm kind of funny but he really thinks i'm funny

rarely does he even get irritable

and i totally irritate him

and pinch him

and mess with him

and sometimes even argue with him for no reason

except maybe it's a bad marital habit that i formed before i met him

i miss him

he's such a good man

my mom says he reminds her of President Hinckley

i see it

michael is amazing

he's such a good dad

he forgets noah's not his biological son

unless someone else mentions it

then it catches him off guard and he remembers

but it makes no difference

noah is his

just like hazel is his

i love him

i'm glad he's mine

i'm glad i made the moves i made that led me to him

it's so funny how we came to be

i had to be divorced and a single mom 

it wouldn't have ever happened in a million years otherwise

even if i was just divorced, i wouldn't have met him

i had to have noah too

it's just amazing

i'm so grateful

Heavenly Father knows so much more than i could

i didn't understand why my life was how it was for so long

even when i was seventeen and getting married 

i didn't know why

i thought someone would stop me

i'm so glad they didn't

i'm glad i had that experience

and noah

and now i know what i want in a husband

and it's all michael

and now i have hazel, too

what a wonderful life

i love you, michael
