No doubt you've probably heard that Prince William announced his engagement to Kate Middleton earlier this week. What you probably didn't know is that he and I go way back. In my baby journal is a newspaper clipping, saved by my mother, announcing his birth a few months after my own. Underneath is her caption: "A famous baby born the same year I was." I think she might have harbored a little secret, though highly unlikely, wish that one day our paths would cross and we'd fall in love and get married. After all, it happened to Princess Diana. And anyway, what mother doesn't hope the absolute best for her child?
Well, Mom doesn't need to worry because I've caught a prince of my own. I'm a lucky girl to have been found and loved by Blake. He raves about my cooking and puts up with me when I'm an emotional train wreck. He is devoted to his family, but still manages to fulfill his responsibilities and duties as the bishop of our ward. He's bright, and a deep thinker who takes the time to be self-reflective in order to continually improve himself. He's an honest, hard-working man who this week earned a long overdue and well deserved promotion at work from a Senior Research Analyst to a Research Manager. I don't think I tell him enough just how proud I am of him or how privileged I am to be the object of his adoration. I do, however, love him more than I could ever adequately describe here -- he is, without a doubt, the absolute best thing that could have ever crossed my path.

Awww, this is sweet. (And that's saying something, cause I normally eschew sappy husband posts!)
Congrats to BOTH of you on your promotion--I always think the wife that stand behind the scenes earned the promotion/raise/whatever other form of recognition just as much as the husband on the front lines. For instance, Sean just received some award from the city for being an influential leader of the youth....but I patted myself on the back for putting up with the long hours and work calls during dinner and even breakfast and whatever else had to be done.
So, long story short, yay for Blake and yay for you as well!
Hooray for husbands! Hooray for Blake! Congrats on the promotion. Love your little family.
Congrats! That's so exciting! So many great things going on in your little family! And, I agree, Blake is an amazing guy! He is such a great brother and put up with my emotional wrecks in college. He, however, is also very lucky to have you! You are an amazing wife, mother, and sister-n-law!
