More Thanks

I Love Ben Miller



I do feel a little weird posting a love note to my husband on my blog for everyone to see. Ben and I are not an overly affectionate couple, (in fact, my Mom once suggested that a little hug or us sitting next to each other on the couch would be O.K. for a married couple to do!) so you can see my trouble posting this! thanks Jenna for capturing this picture!


It was love at first site, for me at least. I saw him walk into math and I instantly knew I was on a mission to find out everything I could about this mystery man. My research became very easy because he was in my ward, and as it turned out in my Family home evening group. I laid on the charm, which was a little harder than I thought, Not just I was after this R.M. but I had competition. Well we could go into the long story about how I took the other girls out, but I think we all know the ending.


We were married December 29th 1998 in Boise Idaho. This year will 10 years!
I couldn't be happier than I am when I'm with Ben.
He is so fun to be around, he is a constant tease. I am learning to deal with it quite nicely, dishing it right back!
He supports me in all that I do or try to do.
He always tells me the truth, something I definitely value, Especially when I need a sounding board or just some one to tell me "if these jeans make me look fat" ---In which his usual response is "no your face makes you look fat!" (one of those teasing lines from Tommy Boy) And then he goes on to tell me the truth, weather I like it or not!
He is a great provider. Although having five kids is tight, I have always been blessed with a husband that works hard so I can stay home, which means the world to me.
He loves our children, and is a great Dad.
He takes me to the temple.
I feel overly blessed to be married to such a wonderful man. We have had a great marriage and life together, I'm so thankful to know that this will never end. I married the man of my dreams.

Funny that we both posted about our hubbys today, and BTW I posted mine before I looked at yours so I really didn't copy. What a nice tribute to Ben! And that picture is so cute! I can't wait to see the rest of them!

very sweet. It is so nice to be married to men that respect women and the role we play in keeping our families eternal. If the world only knew the blessings....

I love that picture too!!
Last Sunday at my mom's house we were all talking about what a great guy your Ben is. My sister in law was complimenting him on taking all your kids every Wed. night at the Church.
It's such a rare thing to marry the man of your dreams, someone that respects you as a daughter of God and everything that that role emcompasses. Good job Ben!
Michelle is right though...he is lucky to have you too!
