Happy Anniversary


Today is our seven year anniversary. Seven wonderful years of being a family. I'm sure you all want to know our story so here are the facts.
First meeting: April 30th, 2001 outside the Belmont Apartments.
First date: May 4th - tinfoil dinners up Provo canyon
First kiss: Memorial day, May 28th
Our song: Colors "Reggae Song"
We met at the beginning of Spring term. I only lived in my apartment for 6 weeks but it was enough time to fall in love and know we wanted to spend forever together.
Nate proposed on July 14th at the top of a waterfall in Sandy, UT.
We were married on Nov. 17th in the Salt Lake Temple for time and all eternity. It was a beautiful day. It was very warm for mid-November. (Even if it had been freezing cold i don't know that we would have noticed, we were just so happy.)
Our reception was held at Wheeler Farm. It was a dream come true. My amazing mom and her friends worked their magic to transform the gathering barn into a pink, wonderful dream. Our colors were pink and periwinkle. We served crepes with ice cream and sauce. We also had a white candy table with several different types of white candy. It was a wonderful evening with many friends and family.
Since that day we have had many happy days together. We have lived in 3 different apartments and now a house.
We both received our bachelor degrees from BYU and Nate added a PhD this year.
Our first six and a half years were spent in the same ward in Provo and now we are experiencing a different ward in Oklahoma.
Best of all we have added three very cute people to our family. Morgan, Emma and Talmage have joined us in this adventure. We love being a family. It's not always easy to put up with independent toddlers, busy schedules, or sleepless nights, but we love it. So happy we took the marriage plunge seven wonderful years ago.

Your reception was absolutely gorgeous, but Christian still gives me a hard time about making him miss the BYU/Utah game so we could attend (we even had tickets...) :)
That sure was a successful spring term, as far as weddings go!
