I know it's allredy March 5th,but I couldn't let the month of love completely pass me by without blogging a little bit about Jarem. I understand that the prophets have said that there's no such thing as soulmates, that there is no one perfect person for everyone, but call me apostate 'cause I wholeheartedly disaggree.When people find out that we served in the same mission the question always comes up..."So did you ever have a crush on Elder Hallows?" The honest truth is that he was my hero. The person who inspired me the most and often times whose zone conference talks were the answer to my prayers. After one such talk i commented to Sister Turnbull, "Man! He's going to end up with the hottest wife!" One of my favorite things about Jarem is that his missionary fire has never fizzled or wanned after almost 2 years at home. He still goes on visits every week and is currently teaching 2 families who are investigating the church.
Jarem is an amazing father. I love seeing his eyes light up when he looks at Sofie. One sunday after church she went down for a nap so we did too, which never happens! I didn't wake up until 3 hours later perplexed at how sofie hadn't woken me up yet. He had known she would wake up soon so he took her to a meeting with him so i could get some extra rest. Amazing! He also spends time with her every night so i can go to the gym, but i know it's just an excuse for him to get one on one time with her! He allready wants another one!
Jarem makes me laugh everyday...and some days that's a tall order. At these moments his classic line is, "Oh are we not doing jokes today?" Then he gets so silly i can't help but laugh out loud!
Jarem makes sacrifices for our family. The thing that Jarem loves most is to be with his girls. Early this semester he made a goal to get straight A's, but after all of my efforts to dissuade him from going back to the library one night he surprised me and gave in. He said that he had a new goal to spend even more time with us and that a few B's wouldn't kill him.
Jarem is more than everything i dreamed of in a husband and i have never met a more perfect person. My heart still skips a beat when he walks in the door after a long day apart. I treasure every moment we spend together and i ache when he's away. I love him because he makes me so much better and doesn't seem to notice when I fall short. He is my soulmate. I love you forever honey.
