To wives: Before you were Mommy

As I ate my Special K with strawberries this morning and read Deseret News, like I do every morning, I came across this article http://www.deseretnews.com/865596178/.  I don't know if it stuck out to me because valentine's day is around the corner or because baby four will arrive in a few short months or because the night before at our house had been much like the one she describes in the article but whatever the reason it had me crying into my cereal.  How easy it is as moms to forget that we were wives first.  I feel like this is something I figured out after Lillian...finally, but this article was just a beautifully written reminder of it.
