I love how selfless, giving, and caring Robby is. He believes, as I do, that you have to be selfless in love. When you love someone, you put their needs above your own. But because you are both trying to fulfill the others' needs, both of your needs are met so you are both happy.
Robby is so sweet and kind. He is always trying to serve and live up to his priesthood responsibilities. He's a CNA at a nursing home right now and though the work is sometimes disgusting, you can see that he's passionate about it because he knows he is doing good in this world.
I love Robby and in 12 hours and 20 minutes, I'll be in the temple with him -- to be sealed to him as his wife for time and all eternity.
This concludes this wedding countdown. But this countdown doesn't end in zero, it ends in infinity.

Love is Composed of a Single Soul Inhabiting 2 Bodies
I don't believe in soul mates or a one and only for every person. I don't believe that we are destined or fated to marry any one particular person. But I do believe that our choices and actions lead us to the person who is our best fit and from there we become soul mates. We become 2 halves of 1 whole.
That's how I feel about Robby. I don't think that we were destined from the beginning to be together and any number of people could have made each of us happy. But because of the choices that we made, and the effort that we put into our friendship, we became what the other was looking for. I can't imagine being happy without him. He is part of who I am now. Robby is my everything.

3 Little Words
I love how brave Robby is. He does things that scare him all the time so that his fears won't conquer him. He hates spiders, but he'll kill them. He hates heights, but he rock climbs. And everybody fears rejection, but...
We had been secretly dating for about 6 weeks and I was trying to convince Robby that I wasn't the girl for him. Then, on his birthday (I was visiting him for the festivities), he dropped the L-bomb. I had never expected him to tell me that he loved me and I couldn't say it back at the time. But he told me it was ok -- he didn't expect me to say it back. He just wanted me to know how he felt.
It took me two weeks to say it back to him and it was the scariest thing I've ever had to do or say. What if he had changed his mind? What if he rejected me? But I told him I loved him too and I'm so glad I did.
I'm so glad that Robby was brave enought to tell me he loved me. And I'm so glad he was patient enough to wait for me to be ready for him.

4 Years Later
I met Robby 4 years ago. He was my FHE brother Winter semester of my Sophomore year. It took me a while to realize how amazing his is, but over those four years, he became my best friend will soon be my eternal companion.
He has always been there for me. We dated, for the first time, 2 1/2 years ago. Unfortunately, neither of us was ready at that time so we broke up. But even after we broke up, we stayed best friends. Even after we started dating other people, he was still my best friend.
I'm so grateful for the past 4 years, and the time they have given me to get to know Robby slowly and steadily so that I would be ready to take this very huge step and marry him. I feel like Robby knows me better than anyone else. I'm so glad we stayed best friends after all this years and that now was get to stay best friends for eternity.
Robby is more that I ever could have dreamed of. I love him infinitely. He is my Dream Come True!

5 Holidays
I love spending the holidays with Robby. We've spent Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, and Valentines Day together. I've never had a significant other to spend the holidays with until now and I've loved it.
We started ring shopping Halloween weekend -- Best Halloween Ever!
We got two Thanksgivings this year: one with his family, one with mine -- Best Thanksgiving Ever!
I was more excited to give Robby his presents and see his face when he opened them than to get any of my presents, plus I got to wake up Christmas morning to an amazing kiss from the love of my life -- Best Christmas Ever!
After 23 years, I finally had a New Year's Kiss -- Best New Year's Ever!
For Valentine's Day, he made me Heart-shaped Stuffed French Toast and I got him a Chocolate Mousse Cake and we just spent time together -- Best Valentine's Ever!
I'm so looking forward to all the other holidays I'll get to spend with Robby, and all the days in between.

Playing on the 6 String
I love how musical Robby is. My whole life I've wanted to marry someone with musical talent and Robby's got that in spades. He can play the guitar, ukulele, piano, a little bit of the violin and drums, and he has a wonderful singing voice.
He's everything I've ever wanted. I love him to pieces.

7: Symbolic for Perfection
I love Robby because he honors his priesthood and took me to the temple today. I love him because we'll be able to be married in the temple next Saturday for time and all eternity. I love him because he is good and pure and kind and righteous and helps me to be better. I love him more than anything on this planet.

Say 8! Say 8!
I love Robby's sense of humor. He's always making me laugh. I just have the best time when I'm with him.
We're always quoting Movies:
Leo Marvin: All I want is some peace and quiet!
Bob: I'll be quiet. I'll be quiet!
Siggy: I'll be peace.
Comedians:
Brian Regan (that's where "Say 8" comes in)
"I want a donut with frosting all over it and I want sprinkels but not all over it. Do you have anything like that?
Yes, we do. It's called the Sprink Smidge for Lunatics like You!"
Bill Cosby "My wibib-bip is on da fworborbor"
and songs and such to each other. And we just generally crack each other up. I've never been happier since I started dating him again. Time just flies by whenever we're together. Good thing we'll have eternity to spend together.

Free Minutes After 9
I love talking with Robby. So what does this have to do with the number 9?
When Robby and I started dating back in June, we were dating long distance. But we both had free minutes on our phones after 9pm, so that was our time.
Starting at 9pm, we would call each other and talk for hours -- usually until one of us (typically me) was too tired to form any more coherent sentences. It surprised me how easy it was to talk to him -- I've never been a phone person. But we would talk for hours on end. Even before 9pm we would text, IM, and Skype each other. But 9pm was our time.
On weekdays, we could only talk for 2 or 3 hours because of our work schedules, but on weekends we would often talk with each other on the phone until 3 in the morning or even later. That time spent on the phone with Robby was how I started to fall in love with Robby. It's incredible how much I love him, and I fall more and more in love with him every day.
Lost distance relationships are never fun, but this was the best and easiest one I was ever in. Robby never made me feel insecure or clingy for wanting to talk to him so much. He always made me feel like I was a priority in his life and he still does. I love spending time with him and talking with him about anything and everything. Now, at 9pm I start to feel sad because I know we'll have to say goodbye for the night soon. But in 9 days, I'll be married to him and I won't have to say goodbye to him at the end of the night. I can't wait!

T-minus 10 Days and Counting
Warning: The next 10 posts may be way too mushy for some people. Continue to read at your own peril. ;)
With there only be 10 days until I become Mrs. Williams, for the next 10 days I'm going to dedicate a post a day to what I love about Robby.
His 10 fingers:
Whether they are playing the piano, guitar, or ukelale; getting a knot out of my neck; resting intertwined with mine; playing with my hair; holding him up as he climbs a cliff face; or anything else that they do; I love Robby's fingers. They are strong and caloused from rock-climbing and guitar playing and years spent working on his family's farm. But they are also soft and gentle enough to scratch my back or play with my hair without hurting or pulling. I love each of his ten fingers and I can't wait to slip that little ring on one of them and declare to the world that he's my husband! :)
