Our Sixth Anniversary

I say this every year, but time really does fly when you're in love. It's amazing how five months is enough to find and marry your eternal companion. When it's right, it's right. The past six years for us have been filled with college graduation, at least three moves, two children, and lots of fun times. There of course are ups and downs, but overall, we've had so much joy-especially after our children have joined our family.

I'm so glad we found each other years ago at BYU. I know Heavenly Father led me to Rob. I was living at home and attending BYU and I started to feel the need to move out and start life on my own. Before I did that, though, it was important to me to get in a good student ward. So I prayed that Heavenly Father would lead me to the one He wanted me to be in, and then I looked up when different wards met and where. I drove to Provo one Sunday and went to the first ward. After about half an hour, I left and went to the next one on my list. After about five minutes, it didn't feel right either, so I chose another one and walked in a little late to their sacrament meeting. I didn't realize this at the time, but I sat right next to Rob. We didn't say much to each other, but I knew this was the place to be, so I joined the ward. Then I moved into the Riviera apartments where everyone from the ward lived. Rob saw me in the library one day and we visited for a little while, and the rest is history.

I am so grateful that we are a forever family. I love you Rob!

This year, a good friend of mine watched the kids for us so we could have an anniversary date (thanks so much Michelle!). We tried to go bowling, but the fire alarm there was going off, and they said it had been for the past half hour, so we left. Rob had gotten me a new camera for our anniversary, so we went to the botanical gardens and experimented with my new toy. Then we went to a nice restaurant called Seasons in Old Town-delicious!
