On New Year's eve ten years ago, Jens and I danced our first dance together. We didn't know each other and after the dance we didn't talk any more that night.
But a week later we were dancing again, this time at a youth conference. We talked and talked all night, and it felt as though we had always known each other.
After the dance, Jens spent the rest of the evening talking to another girl (he wanted to play hard to get) and I was devastated...
The next day at testimony meeting we looked at each other - and that was it!
A few days later we went on our first date and watched Billy Elliot at the movies. After that we were an item.
Ten years have passed. Ten years, one wedding, four kids, three homes, and thousands of hours of talking, dreaming, laughing, crying and praying together.
I feel so blessed to have Jens in my life. He's my best friend, my no. 1 supporter and the one who pulls me down from the clouds when I need to get my feet back on the ground. He's a loving father, a responsible provider, and a faithful son of our Heavenly Father.
Thank you for giving me the best 10 years of my life, and here's to 10 more just as good!
