Daniel Duree MY HERO!

I love my husband. I want to let the world know how special I am to have him. When he asked me to Marry him I did not know what to think. I asked my Heavenly Father who told me a very special message which I will never forget. He said" I have many worthy sons this one I have prepared for you" I trust my Heavenly Father with my whole life and am so glad I listened to what he advised me about Dan. Daniel is truly my HERO I can not imagine a more Happy life with any other man. The gospel teaches we will be together forever. I am so grateful he is the one I get to share Eternity with.

After being sealed in the Temple we where told to Multiply and Replenish the earth. I feel a sense of Joy that we are obeying our Heavenly Father. Although it is not easy to be a parent. Daniel and I are learning together. I am blessed with Daniel as my husband. My children are blessed to have Daniel as their father. I know our new little Gwendolyn will be happy to finally be in Daniels arms. He is a sweet father and will make all his little girls dreams of a father come true.

October 6th will be Dan and I's 9th Wedding Anniversary. As we get close to this date I am excited to say we have been married for nine years. Although there have been times I wondered about our pairing. Times that I believed things where just to hard to keep going. Times that I have been discouraged because of the lack of $. The facts today that we have been faithful to one another, we have been faithful to our Heavenly Fathers the best we can and we keep trying to do better. After all this time without spending money on dates and scrimping to have vacations. It has been wonderful. I have loved the journey these past nine years and will love saying 10 years next year, 15 and 20 when they come. I love being married to Daniel T Duree.


Gwendolyn's due date is October 4th. There is a full moon on this date and I went into labor on Amy's due date so the likely hood that I will Labor on Gwen's well I am thinking positive. With her birth date being close to our anniversary date I wanted to get this post in now before I may have a huge distraction and miss the opportunity. I also want to share my feelings about how excited I am to have Gwendolyn come into our life's. Dan has helped me to grow in this area. Having placed Amy for adoption there where some deep rooted feelings inside of me that I needed to work through. With the births of each of my children Azure, Corban, and now carrying Gwen I have had opportunities to work through any emotions I have had and want to express how grateful I am that Dan has been by my side to do this. This is what a Knight in Shinning Armour looks like to me. My Knight has protected me even from myself if he had need to. I thank him for his patient example to me and his love for me and all the ways he shows it. Thank you Daniel for being you and Thank you Heavenly Father for helping me receive him.
