10 Wonderful Years

Today marks the 10th anniversary of when Jeff and I met.
It was the first day of school our Freshman year.

(I know we look about 10 but we are actually 15 in this picture)
We instantly became friends which was weird because Jeff was so shy and I was so crazy, but it happened and it happened fast.


Throughout all of High School we got closer and closer until we were best friends.


We finally started dated our senior year.

(Senior Ball)

We graduated together.


Went to college together.


And continued to just have fun and be silly together.


The time came for Jeff to go on a mission. It was hard and we didn't know what would happen.

But though many letters we able to strengthen our friendship and our testimonies.

Jeff returned, both of us having grown in experience and the gospel which made things better then ever! And we decided to "seal"the deal.

Our life began, just the two of us.

We were still silly and had lots of fun.

We did everything together

Every day was a new adventure.

Though each experience we were strengthened and grew closer.

School was hard

So we made it fun

With vacations

and little trips

We supported each other

Through the good times and bad.

Lucky for us, they were pretty much all good.

Since we were pretty much pros at school at married life we decided to take on a new adventure.

Just when we thought things couldn't get better,

They did!

So 10 years later we are still Best Friends.

I love you more then anything Jeff.
Thank you for being the most amazing Husband and Father in the world.
I am so blessed to have you by my side through every adventure we've had and I look forward to all the ones still to come.
I can hardly wait to see what Heavenly Father has in store for us,
But I know that whatever it is, it will be wonderful because we will do it together.
I love you Jeff!



I recently discovered this song, "Then" by Brad Paisley and I love because it so true.


I remember, trying not to stare the night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later, in the front porch light
taking forty-five minutes to kiss goodnight

(I like this part because we used to talk on AIM for HOURS! Literally until 2 or 3 in the morning which was ridiculous in many ways because we had early morning seminary @ 6, we would always get in trouble with our parents for being up so late, and we would even frequently fall asleep at the computer mid sentence. It would often take us an hour to say goodbye, just because we really didn't want to.

I hadn't told you yet
but I thought I loved you then

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
Like a river meets the sea,
stronger than it's ever been.
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

I could just see you, with a baby on the way
And I could just see you, when your hair is turning gray
What I can't see is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before

And now you're my whole life
now you're my whole world
I just can't believe the way I feel about you, girl
We'll look back someday, at this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
And I thought I loved you then
And I thought I loved you then
