Tomorrow hubby and I are celebrating our wedding anniversary. I'm not quite sure I believe it. Neverless, it's true. Even though it's been 17 years since we were married our story actually starts when I was 15. He was serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. As my sister had just recently joined this church, the missionaries were still visiting our family in hopes of getting the rest of us to join. Well, being a typical teenager, whenever the missionaires came over to visit, I ran upstairs to my room. One day I see them pulling up from the window and notice a new guy. Hmmmm.....not bad. (That day I didn't run away as fast) I was introduced to the new missionary, Elder V. I think I felt my heart drop into my stomach and I clearly remember thinking, "I could marry that guy."
Fast forward 6 years later, I did.
And even today I would marry him all over again. I still love looking into his beautiful blue eyes. He's a wonderful father and husband and I'm so grateful for all the things he does for us.
I wish I could post some pictures for you but 17 years ago there were no digital cameras and I don't have a working scanner. So I will work on that and maybe one day I'll post a picture of us in our younger days.
