Denise... I love you!

So today is just one of those days where you take a minute, sit back and think about how blessed your life really is. Am I the only one who does that? Probably not, I'm sure a lot of people do it. Well today I was doing that, for the bettter part of the day one blessing kept coming to my mind, Denise Marie Mullins.
When Denise and I met there was just something about her that made me want to be with her for the rest of my life and for forever. I could talk to her, I could joke with her, and I could be my really random weird self with her. It was so great! On our first date I picked her up and before we had even made it down the street she had grabbed my iPod turned on Aerosmith and started scream singing it at the top of her lungs telling me and Brady that we needed to join in. I pulled a Mosby and immediately I fell for her. She told me she was terrible at bowling that night, but I believe in the first game she killed me, I kept telling her that she was telling me she was bad just so that I'd go easy on her and then she could beat me. She swore that she had never bowled that well in her life, she proved it on the second game ;)
Denise convinced me one day to buy a game called Left 4 Dead, and to get xbox live again so we could play it online. I did as I was told and we would spend hours sitting on my couch killing zombies together. We even bought huge safety pins so we could build a fort around the living room and play Left 4 Dead in our fort but I ended up moving before we could do that. We saved the pins though and will get to use them in the living room in our own home in January.
So many things about Denise led me to fall in love with her, but the thing that I saw in her that really made it all happen was her love for the Gospel, for the Savior and for our Father in Heaven. From the very first day that I talked to Denise she has helped me want to be a better person. She has lifted me up and helped me to become stronger and closer to my Heavenly Father.
Denise, I cannot express in words the love that I feel for you in my heart. You are my everything, I have never been so happy and so in love! Whether its walking around ikea, playing xbox, watching football or reading our scriptures I love what we are doing because its with you. In a few weeks we will be sealed together for all of eternity, I cannot wait to be with you forever, to have little BTWs running around us making us crazy. You are the most amazing person that I have ever met and I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for putting me on the path to find you and to find the happiness and love that you have given to me.
Thank you for making me a better person, for picking me up and helping me to be who I am today. Thank you for loving everything about me, including the weird stuff, like when I rap songs that shouldn't be rapped or when I quote movies over and over, or continuously annoy you until you're probably wondering why you ever agreed to go on a second date with me. Each morning I wake up and look around my room at 61 sticky notes, each one stating a different reason that you love me, and I think about how lucky I am to have been through all of the trials I have been through in order to finally get to you.
I love you Denise, I will always love you and I will do everything that I can to show you that I love you, each and every day.

Love,

AJ
