I know this post is a little late but I had to post about the Benson's first year of marriage... Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of getting married and having a family but when I joined the church those feelings became stronger. I always wanted someone that would love me for who I am. I remember sitting in church and watching all the happy families and me thinking... some day I will be like them. And that day was a year ago... This past year has been full of surprises. Being married is really fun. First, you have to learn how to live with each other. For me it was a little weird living with a boy because I have 3 sisters and I wasn't used to the toilet being dirty and someone leaving all the cupboards and drawers in the kitchen open... And I'm sure Zach had a little trouble getting used to me. But I love getting to know how to live with each other, what to do and what not to do. And it's really fun to see how now we both like things the same way. But the best part is having someone that loves me unconditionally, I love knowing that we have the same beliefs and that we both love the church and want our kids to grow up in the true church. I love not having to worry about what anyone else thinks but my husband. I always tell Zach he is my little Angel and that we were a match made in Heaven. All the days of me sneaking out of my house to go to church or the rude comments or people not talking to me because of the decision I made to be baptized are over and it's all because I have the perfect person (for me) that always supports me and gives me the strength I need. I love being married to Zach. He is the most hard working, sweet, patient and giving person I know. I can honestly say that he treats me like a princess. He always makes sure I'm taken care of and that I don't need anything. He knows I hate eating breakfast but mostly I hate making breakfast for myself, so when we were in Logan, he would wake up before me and make me breakfast almost every morning. He always makes sure I know how much he loves and cares about me. I can honestly say that I married my other half. But he wouldn't be the great man he is if it wasn't for his parents example, so thanks Kris and Lloyd for raising such a wonderful son.
Zach, I love you so much. You make me the happiest woman alive and I'm so excited for the things the future will bring to us. I have all my life and eternity to tell you how much I love you... One year down and eternity to come!
