Wedded Bliss

Last Sunday was our anniversary and after eight years of marriage Jon and I are more in love with each passing day. Here's how it all started. My older sister and I started UVSC in the fall of '96. Soon after she kept telling me about this boy in her class that I needed to go out with and she kept telling Jon about a little sister he needed to meet. Well after two years we finally met at a graduation party for my sister.




It only took Jon six more months to ask me out. If you ask Jon it's all because he finally got bored enough. After a year and a half of dating we finally tied the knot.





As Jon was a convert to the church we had a year to plan the big day. My parents were able to give me the wedding of my dreams.


















My dad is not a dancer and I made him promise to dance with me at my wedding. He followed through and was an awesome dance partner.



We spent our honeymoon in Orlando / Tampa Florida. We had a great time at Sea World, Kennedy Space Center, Orlando Science Center and Busch Gardens. We even got to spend time with Jon's Uncle and his family. Here we are at Sea World.



Jon and I both love the outdoors. Whether it be playing with family, four wheeling, rock crawling, hiking or camping (rain, snow or shine).

Family Home Evening up Springville Canyon with my family


In January 2003 I was able to introduce Jon to one of my favorite places - Zion's National Park




Four wheeling and sledding up American Fork Canyon



Four Wheeling with friends up American Fork Canyon




Every Easter we head down to Moab for the annual Jeep Safari. Here is a picture of our first crawler. I call it the beast. The beast and I did not get along. I am glad Jon sold this and now we have Old Blue.




One Memorial Day we spent down in Moab. Boy was it hot and miserable.


We enjoy Sunday drives and here we are amongst the falls colors in Springville Canyon



Every September we go camping with Jon's family and friends in the Unitah's. As you can see we endure even the harshest of elements.













Jon and I have even survived building a house together



One of our funnest adventures was a cruise we took in 2007. Here's a picture from my beach chair.

It has been a wonderful eight years and I know the best years are yet to come.
