Brad and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary yesterday (June 10). It seems like it has been way longer, not because it has been miserable, we have actually been very happy. It just seems like we have always been a family. It is hard to imagine what life was like before I knew Bradley, or even before we had Donovan! I am very grateful that Brad and I both came out to Iowa Western so we could meet. He is one of the most amazing people I know. He provides very well for his family and is very good at saving money, unlike me. Sometimes it takes me a while to work on him if I really want to buy something, and if he knows I really want it, he eventually caves in. He just let me buy a swimsuit that was a little more than he wanted to pay. It took him awhile to cave on that one, but he did and he hasn't said a word about it since...that could be good or bad... He is a great father to Donovan. Whenever Donovan sees his daddy he immediately gets that giant toothy grin on his face and either tries to get out of my arms to get him, or crawls as fast as he can after him. Donovan loves his daddy and is always sad when he has to go to work. Brad has always been strong spiritually and has a knowledge of the scriptures and the gospel. I have had many people tell me at church that Brad gives great lessons and knows what he is talking about. I am so grateful to Brad's parents for raising such an awesome person! He cleans the bathroom because it is my least favorite chore and always makes sure the house is clean when I come back from a trip or a weekend away. He is always willing to help with Donovan when I really need it, even if it's changing a poopy diaper (his least favorite thing to do). He is very loving when he wants to be but never too lovey dovey, which is fine with me because I am a lot like my mom when it comes to people touching and hugging me all the time, I can't stand it. But he does cuddle with me when I need it.
Enough about that. Here are a few pictures of us from (almost) beginning until now.

Donovan is always scratching his side, I think it's so cute.
He makes it all worthwhile.

Congratulations! Brad chose well and we have a really cute Donovan too- best of both. Enjoyed the pictures as always!
Ah...isn't that cute. I think the best thing Brad has done was to knock you up so mason could have Donovan to play with and fight with! Time flies when you're in love...
I bet you are thinking that 3 years is so long. wait until you are as old as us we will be celebrating our 7 year this year. Crazy how fast time flies.
It does start to seem like you've been together all your lives. One time your mother asked, "What did we do with Dustin when we were on our honeymoon?" It took her a minute to remember he wasn't around for it...
the time does go by fast. But when you're in love it makes it all worth it. Congrats!
oh, i forgot, I'm glad you found a swim suit. Just tell Brad that the swim suit is a good investment and you won't need to buy one for a few years. It works everytime. By next summer he will have forgotten how much you paid if you want to you will be able to get another one!
Are you guys still alive and safe? Nate and I watched the news this morning and apparently all of Iowa is either flooded or torn up by tornados. I hope you're okay!
