11 Years!!!

It is hard to believe that it was 11 years ago (August 15) that Matt and I were married for time and all eternity in the Idaho Falls Temple. I can still remember that day like it was yesterday. It was such a special day . . . the best of my life! I couldn't have asked for a better husband, best friend, father for my children, provider, example, etc. I am so grateful for the man that Matt is. He is such a hardworking man and does eveyrthing that he can to provide a good life for his family. He is a wonderful example of patience (I still have MUCH more to learn from him). I appreciate his strong testimony and his willingness to share it with all around him . . . especially his boys! I love the dad that he is to our boys. He teaches them the importance of hard work as well as the importance of play. They love to spend time with their dad going fishing, jumping on the trampoline, wrestling, and just plain hanging out. He is truly a blessing to my life. I am grateful that he chose ME of all the women out there to be his eternal companion.
Happy 11th Anniversary Matt! I love you!

Happy Anniversary guys! It was good to see you while you were here for that quick little bit. Sorry I made you stay up so late Janae. That is a cool slide show. It is funny how you both look so young in some of those pictures. Crazy!

My how the years have flown by! Who would have known that you would be expecting #5, living in a nice home in Washington, (soon to be Burley) after 11 years of marriage? I agree, you both look SO young! (especially Matt)

Congratulations on 11 years, a new baby boy (He is extra cute), and the move back to Idaho. I can't wait to see you in real life. Please remind me of your phone number so I can get in touch with you. I wish you the best with your move and plans. I'll look forward to hearing from you.
