In honor of our 11th Wedding Anniversary I thought I would take a stroll down memory lane to were it all began... And now, THE STORY OF US.
Fourteen years ago I met an incredibly good looking guy at the gas station in Bear Lake. I was there with my girlfriends, he, with his friends. We fell madly in love and the rest is history. Well, not really. There were a few complications. Neither one of us divulged the fact that we both had significant others at the time. Mine, not such a big of a deal - we were on the verge of breaking up anyway. He, however, had a girlfriend of two years who was all set to wait for him on his mission that he was to leave on in a few months (another slight complication). We hung out all day, I called my mom and told her I found the guy I was going to marry, and then we went our separate ways.
Over the next few months we ran into each other a few times (Fate, I tell ya. He lived in Ogden, I, in Logan.) Finally, twelve days before he left on his mission he called his girlfriend of two years, broke it off, and then called me. And now we can say the rest is history. I think we spent almost every moment of those twelve days together. He left on his mission. I enjoyed my Senior year of high school and went away to college and a year after he returned home we were married for time and all eternity in the Logan Temple. And we lived happily ever after.

That pict. is so cute of the two of you. Your mom showed me all of your family pictures when we were up at elk camp. They turned out so so cute. Needless to say your mom is taking our family pictures on Wednesday. Happy Anniversary!!

This is the most beautiful couple photo I've seen! I think it's not only because the photo is just cool, but it's also because I know you and how cute you and Troy are with each other, and that you have been happily married for 11 years! Congrats!
HEY I WAS THERE... the night you meant your future husband... uhm, seriously Jam - I remember it like it was yesterday - didn't you go to some cabin with him too (the night you meant - did we all go---) Ok, maybe I don't remember exactly everything!! But I totally know I was there - I can't believe you have been married for 11 years!! Congrats!! So happy for you - and you have beautiful girls!! I love facebook for bringing old dear friends back into my life!! Keep in touch!!
I love your picture!!!!
All the Bear Lake escapades and subsequent events were happening right under my nose and I was clueless in Ogden. I have always said Troy was brilliant and that is evident. He chose a perfect soul mate for all time and eternity!
Happy Anniversary,
Mom
Congratulations!! I am so glad you found each other!
Happy anniversary! Just like everyone else, I LOVE that picture!
I think it is so nice to look back on the beginnings of a relationship with such happiness, particularly if you are married to that person! Congratulations and glad you have continued to be so happy.
Ok first of all, your blog is so cute! When did you change it? Teh picture of you and Troy is to die for, love it!! Happy Anniversary last week!!
Happy Anniversary.... I'm a little late - sorry. It is pretty amazing that you end up marrying, and being perfectly suited to, someone you met at a GAS STATION!
That is a great picture of you and Troy. I love it. Happy Anniversary!
