The Frehners: Happy Anniversary To Us!

8 years ago I began dating that handsome guy below. We eventually broke up after being together for 6 months. I had just come out of a nasty high school break up and wanted my freedom. I got my freedom & then missed Jake & realized I had made a mistake. It was to late and he was being stubborn.

{which he still is}

So I decided to take a leap of faith and move to St. George. I had my things packed & was ready to leave the next day and guess who calls? Jake! Perfect timing {not}. I left anyway and lasted about 1 month in St. George & came back to the Riverton area. We started dating & the rest is history. We have been married for 3 years now. I have learned a lot in those 3 years.

Jake & I are complete opposites & some days that doesn't work and other days it works perfect. We let each other have our independence but would do absolutely anything for one another. We are truly each others best friend and I know I can count on him every single day. He is amazing. He's my Mr. fix it, my shoulder when I need one & my sense of humor when I've had a bad day. He fixes dinner every night before I get home from work

{come on, what man does that for his wife}

Not that I don't know how to fix dinner, he just gets home before me and by the time I get home and try to make a decent somewhat healthy meal it's almost bedtime. So he does that for us and never complains. He does dishes too. He helps our families out whenever they need him. He introduced me to our very best friends and I wouldn't trade any of them for the world. We are both extremely lucky! He has taken care of me so well since my surgery. He cooks, cleans, does laundry, takes me out when I need to get out & understands that I'm frustrated right now.

He's amazing. Marriage is hard work. No marriage is easy from what I hear. Somedays are better than others and somedays I don't give Jake enough credit for who he is and what he does for me. I've learned we make our own happiness in life. If I feel miserable then he feels miserable. If I'm happy then he's happy. If I'm sad then so is he. We truly choose our own paths sometimes so I hope that he & I always have each others back & love each other unconditionally everyday for the rest of our lives.
