HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

It's been thirteen years for me and this guy....and we're still in love! The last year was really a year of challenges and growth for us and it is looking like this year could be much of the same! As hard as it seems sometimes, it is wonderful to be doing it together. All of our prayers and efforts only increase the strength and specialness of our relationship! I love you Christopher! Thank you for all you do for us and for our little family. We are bestest pals forever!

In honor of our special day, here are 13 of my best memories from the last 13 years, in no particular order....

1.  Buying our first home on Saint Charles Street! It was darling and perfect and we KNEW it was supposed to be ours!
2.  Bringing home little baby Nick after his surgery. Our prayers and tears were heard by a loving Heavenly Father and he is so healthy now!
3.  Walking home in the dark from those late night ESPN II basketball games at the U. Thanks to Andre and Doleac, we stayed awake!
4.  Cruising through the mexican jungles on a 4- wheeler outside of Cancun.
5.  Stratus..Mountaineer..Explorer....Beetle....Suburban
6.  Learn how to haul rocks, week, garden, and grow lots of pretty stuff, all thanks to your master gardening techniques!
7.  Seeing super chubby and super purple baby Ben for the first time. Wow, he was big!
8.  Every Christmas Eve we have spent together, just our little family.
9.  Sealing your Grandparents together in the Bismarck temple.
10.  The Charlie-dog story. And the Stella Luna story, too....
11.  Leaving Utah with a U-Haul and newborn baby girl, headed towards our life as Creighton Blue Jays. What an awesome year!

13.  Today!

Love you forever, babe! XOXOXO
