True love :)

Took this from my small blog on myspace. But I wanted it on my real blog now haha!
Today I've been thinking a lot about marriage. About what really makes it work. How its possiable for people to stay "happily" married their whole lives. I have gotten alot of advice, and heard alot of qouts on the subject.

Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate.
I so agree with this! You have to be someone that your husband would want to fall in love with. EVERY DAY!
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. I think there are many stages to love. And people change over the years, many times. You just have to find someone that your able to grow with.
I am no where near the person I was at 17 when Kody and I first fell in love. Somethings for better and maybe somethings for worse, but he still loves me. Kody and I are constently finding new things to fall in love with each other for.

Our story: June 26 2006 When I was 17 I loved him for his chrisma, the way he would light up a room when he walked in. For his confidence, people girls and guys would flock to him. He was a bassist in a band "A Forgotten Farewell" I loved to watch him play! I respected how talented he is. That year was full of fun and kisses! I loved how romantic and cheesy he is. How everyday was an adventure :) We were joined at the hip, and it pained us to be away from each other even a day.
When I was 18 he proposed June 16th 2007! I and discovered our love was a lot older than our age. I moved to St. George and I loved him for the way he always made us work. How at that times he was the strong one. He was the person who never wanted to give up on us! He moved down there for me. Left his home, family and band, got his licence, bought a car and drove down. I am still in awe today when I think of the sacrifice that he made for me! Down there we were each others only friends, we had no one else. He became very close to my family. He is more like a son, or a brother, than an inlaw.
We moved back up to Davis county. At 19 we were married:D :D :D September 26 2008 The day we always talked and dreamed about. "How cool it will be when we have our own house, when we can sleep in the same bed every night, when we can spend the rest of our lives together!" Our newlywed days were full of tons of fun! Hanging out with friends, going to movies, having parties, and going out to dinner. We discovered married life was very "cool" but also very expensive. We have delt with loss of jobs, and just general money problems. But we got through. We always make it. I loved him so much for his positivity, for always being upbeat! Later that year I go to the doctor and he tells me I have some fertility issuse that would make it difficult if not impossiable to conceive. Kody and I have always wanted kids, but we wanted to wait until we were compleatly stable. Due to the news Kody and I talked about it and decided we would rather be young parents then not parents at all. When I was 20, we got off the birth control, thinking it would take many months or even years to have a baby. ONE MONTH LATER... to the day! We found out we were pregnant!! April 29th 2009 Kody was so excited! He couldn't stop hugging me. I got very scared. I'm really not good at change, and our lives were about to change forever. After the shock I became obsessed with the pregnancy. So excited that we were about to be parents! Kody was such a huge support! He came to every single baby appointment we had, even if it was just a check up! We kinda became newlyweds all over again! We really enjoyed our last months as a couple before we became a family. I loved Kody for how patient he was with me and those crazy pregnancy hormones! I loved Kody for how hard of a worker he is! I loved him for how supportive he is! Our daughter Sybella Marlene Schvaneveldt was born December 21st 2009! She has become the light of our lives! I have discovered how amazing a father Kody is! I love the way he takes such joy in the little things. I love how Sybella already has Kody wrapped around her little finger :) I love Kody's and my conversations in the quiet night after we put Sybella to bed. He really is my best friend! I love how he never judges me, how I can tell him anything thats on my mind. He gives great advice. I love the way we communicate. There is never an awkward subject for us, and I think it makes us so much stronger having that connection! I love the little things he does like kissing me before he goes to work, writing on I love you on the bathroom mirror, still grabing my hand to hold when we walk, holding hands in the car, taking out the trash, sending me cute texts at work, just for still being completly crazy about me :) Now at age 21 August 27 2010 I am still so in love with Kody, for more reasons then when we started! Our wedding was years ago. The celebration continues to this day. I look forward to the years ahead! Knowning they will be full of even more love and more ways to love! Thank you kody for being such an amazing husband, father, lover, and friend!
I will always try to be the type of person you deserve every day!

Wow this blog was going to be about love and marriage advice that I've heard, and it kinda changed and morphed into something else. I guess I can relate that to life that sometimes our path changes and alters, but as long as we and keep our main focus we will get to the right destination.
Maybe in later blogs to come I'll share my thoughts on what I think makes a marriage last for life :)

Sincerely,
From the heart and mind of Kiera
