1. My biggest support right now is my husband. He loves me unconditionally even if in my mind I think he shouldn't because of all my faults. He really does love me, truly and deeply.
I go back in my memory to when I first met him. He was a friend to all my roommates in my apartment at BYU. I wasn't around much on the weekends because I was dating someone in another city. Things just didn't click totally with that guy even though we had talked about marriage. I had to break it off.
The first weekend I was home, Ryan came to the apartment and asked if anyone wanted to go to the football game because he had an extra ticket. I didn't know him but I love football so I asked if I could go. He looked surprised because he didn't even know me but we went and had fun. We talked the whole game and laughed.
After that I liked being with him so much that I would just knock on his apartment door and ask if he wanted to talk. He became my best friend and he still is. Sometimes it is hard to remember because of the crazy busyness of being parents and responsible adults, but he is truly, madly everything I need and I love him beyond words.
I am trying to be more honest. When he asks me how I feel, I need to tell him. He is there for me. He wants me to be happy.
2. When we moved to the Ogden area 10 years ago it brought me closer to my sister. She is amazing and had raised some great kids. She is always willing to listen and is my "crisis contact." She is willing to drop everything if she is able and to come to my rescue. Just knowing I have that is comforting, but when I had to invoke it a few weeks ago, she came. She was at my door in less than a half hour and provided the physical and mental rescue needed. Words cannot express the love I have for her and what she means to me.
3. A cute lady asked me to watch her two year old at the time while she did some training. That was nine years ago and one of the best blessings. She became the best friend I've ever had and that two year old has been one of my son's best friends ever since. They have also been in the same class for five years.
