All you need is love

I don't you for you ladies out there, but I have a tendency to complain more easily since I've been married; it's just so easy to take my frustration out on Levi, poor guy! Well, this one day, we had been watching a particularly romantic movie and I was saying how I missed our dating days with the romance...you get the picture. His response not being quite satisfying, I guess I was a bit upset and disappointed.
The next day, I had to go to BYU to teach French 101. I went to my office to prepare for my lesson and while doing that, I was checking my emails. Levi had sent me a quick message asking me where my classroom was located. I was a bit surprised at his request, but soon forgot about it with the teaching frenzy--for those of you who have taught or currently teach a class, you know exactly what I'm talking about. Anyways, I was halfway into my lesson, when I heard the classroom door open. I was expecting a late student to come in, but to my surprise in walks Levi holding a bouquet of flowers and carrying Eve in his arms! It took me a second to realize what was happening, when he pulled out a paper with a poem written in French and read it in front of my students. I was on cloud 9! He kissed me and walked out of the room with Eve! How sweet is that! I thank the Lord every day for having such a wonderful and caring husband...I love him with all my heart and hope one day to deserve him.
Here's the poem (for the French lovers):

Nos chemins se sont croisés
Nos yeux se sont accrochés

Ton sourire est devenu mon soleil
Ta tendresse une grande merveille.

Je t'offre dans mes mains
Mille baisers câlins
Pour que jamais tu n'en sois privée.

Wow, very nice work, Levi. I think the picture of you two says it all. Anabelle looks so happy and excited just to be close to such an excellent example of suaveness. And Levi is happy because he knows that he is such an excellent example of suaveness.

I remember that!!!!! I was there! and yes, you were in cloud nine :) I've been reading your blog up until this post, because I've been wondering all this time what had happened to you and your family and your plans to move back to Europe since I finished that French course with you. Now I have a fair idea of what you have been up to! Good to hear that you are back in Provo!
