Nine years ago I married my best friend! January 6, 2000 was a freezing day (not as bad as today) but one of the most wonderful days of my life. I remember waking up quite early so Amanda, my BFF, could come over and do my hair and then Jon picked me up to drive to the temple together. Waiting in the celestial room was so peaceful, I think we were the only ones in the room, and then we walked into the sealing room to see our family and friends. It was so overwhelming and joyous and the sealing was beautiful. The rest of the day went great and we had such a fun time seeing everyone throughout the day. It was a special day...but every day since then has been special! I love being married to Jon - he's an awesome husband, daddy, friend, confidante, and provider. Thanks for 9 great years...and many more to come!!!
Happy Anniversary! One more year and its a decade? You can't be that old!!! Also, I think you've forgotten...its your turn for lunch...you had a specific place in mind...remember???

Our Family
Jon and I first met each other when we were fourteen! We each went our seperate ways but reconnected when he returned home from his mission. We were married 10 years ago and it's been wonderful ever since! We enjoy spending time together as a family and going on an occasional date is always great too. Jon loves to spend time outdoors - riding his horses, camping, hunting, softball and wrestling his children. I love to read, spend time with my family, shop, girls nights and of course play with my kids!
Garrett
Garrett is 6!!! He is a dinosaur fanatic - playing with, reading about, watching movies, musuem strolling, coloring it's about dinosaurs. Because of him, I now know approximately 150 dinosaur names. It's great having a boy! He loves to go to the library, play with cousins, check out the dino museum, roam Cabela's and just PLAY! He's never tired just "busy", at least that's what he tells us. Garrett is a wonderful big brother and loves to play with Rylee.
Rylee
Rylee is the sweetest, quietest little 3 year old but don't let that deceive you. She is MISCHEVIOUS! If there is a drawer in reach - it will be emptied down the stairs. If there is a toilet lid up - it will soon be flushed with the contents of mom's purse. And so on... Rylee is wonderful! She loves to pick out her own clothes now, you know because she's big girl, it's usually a dress and it's usually pink. She loves to read books and jump on dad. If Garrett's around she's copying exactly what he's doing. We love her to pieces!!!
