Two Years Since “I Do”

Two years have gone by since I said, “I do.” Two years that have passed by so quickly it seems like only yesterday that we exchanged vows. And yet, within those flickering moments that have passed, decades were contained. It is similar to an epiphany. In one second, everything changes. Millions of thoughts fill a space previously empty. That is how these last two years have felt for me. Time has no meaning, only the memories, discoveries, and profound love has meaning.

Adam, you have given my life purpose and meaning. You have filled the places in my heart that were broken. You cleared out the monsters and icky creepy crawlers of my past decisions. You have made me whole again. Not just whole, but improved. I’m not glued back together, I’m made new. Thank you.

You are the only one I love. I look at you and I am content…but more than the word implies. I feel joy at having found (and caught) you. I feel blessed that you return my love. I feel complete.

Only two short years have passed in our eternal love. I am excited and hopeful about our future and the blessings and joys it will bring.

I will love you forever and always. I promise.

Two Years Is Not Enough

“I can’t believe it’s been...” “It doesn’t seem that long ago.” I hear these words repeated over and over. And you know what? It’s true. It couldn’t be more cliché, but it’s true. I CAN’T believe it’s been two years since Jennifer and I were married. It DOESN’T seem that long ago. Yet, she has been such an important part of my life that when I look back at older memories, sometimes I forget that she wasn’t there.

The last two years have been one intense rollercoaster. Another cliché, but another accurate one. It’s been crazy, but a whole lot of fun, because we’re still alive, and as happy and in love as ever. Through all of the nausea of life, my love has remained firm, and grown in size and strength.

The love and joy I have felt in these last two years is not something I could begin to put into words. I am so happy. Jenn, you have changed me and my life so many ways. I’m still me, but I’m not who I was. You make me feel like something in this frame is worth keeping. You make me feel good about myself. You give me purpose. You make me smile.

I will never stop saying the words: “I love you,” “thank you,” or “I’m sorry.” Because I will always love you. I will always be grateful to you, for every little (and big) thing you do for me. And the mistakes I’ve made, I will always regret. I don’t want to leave you with any doubt of how I feel.

I love you. You are my angel, my sweetheart, and my peanut. My best friend for life, and someday, my partner forever. Because a lifetime is not enough, let alone two years.

Our Year (So Far)

2010 started with us both being sick. This meant that we weren’t able to attend the Burningham New Year’s Eve bash, or the Kenworthy New Year’s Day dinner. I don’t know why we get so sick around holidays. It really sucks.

We re-scheduled and had dinner with Ty, Cami, and Ken later in the month. It was awesome! After eating and chatting we played New Super Mario Bros. Wii. We had so much fun, and we laughed a lot.

Jenn and I both got haircuts. Yes, I got one too, but my haircut didn’t warrant its own post because my hair looks the same as it has for the last year. This was Jenn’s first real cut (not trim) since our wedding. And I think it looks gorgeous.

Recently we spent a day at Park City with some my family. We ate lunch and then went sledding. I managed to fall and/or roll every time I went down. Jenn and I went down together twice, and both times I ended up (unintentionally) pushing her face-first into the snow. The second time I actually rolled over her. Other than that, it was a lot of fun. We got some pictures, but they’re on my parents’ camera, so look for those later.

Those are the highlights of January ‘10 so far. And this week, Jenn and I will celebrate our second anniversary. So I’m sure we’ll be posting about that as well. ;)

New Family Pictures

Last year, we had new family pictures taken, for both the Burninghams and the Kenworthys. But we didn’t get copies of them until Christmas, so here they are.



This was taken in Colorado after Ken came home from his mission.



Then the photographer took some couple pictures.



The next day, we went to the park and took a few more ourselves.




This is the new Burningham family picture.



Mike took some couple pictures as well.

We’ve been looking forward to these updated family pictures for a while. Ken wasn’t in the last Kenworthy picture. And since the last Burningham family picture, there have been three additions to the family: Jennifer, Boston, and Riley. Plus my hair is 10 to 12 inches shorter. It was definitely time for an update.

New Year, New Haircut

I decided it was time for a new haircut. So I went to Kalli, my sister in-law, and told her what I wanted. I think it turned out fantastic!

My mom wanted pictures, so here they are.


And with some tips from Kalli, I've been able to keep it looking nice. It sure is great having a professional hair stylist in the family.
