11 Years and counting...

11 years ago today Micah and I were sealed together in the Oakland temple in California. It was a long day. hehe But a wonderful day.

Over the last 11 years we have lived in Idaho, Utah, and now in Arizona and California if you can count that one week we lived with my parents before going up to school in ID. ;) We, as any couple, have had our share of ups and downs but we are still plugging along happy to be together.
Micah and I have known each other for a very long time. Our first date was in second grade. Well, our teacher and another student was with us, but we like to call it our first date. ;) Don't believe me, here we are in second grade. We were so cute huh. hehe

Micah and I have done a lot together. We dated for a bit in high school then not again until he came home from his mission. But we were at each others baptisms, we walked together at High School graduation. And we have been friends for years. While Micah was on his mission and I was at Ricks College, we both did a lot of maturing. He got home from his mission in Feb, I got home from Ricks in May, we were engaged in June (well, I got the ring in July), we were married in August. Here is our engagement pics. Please no comments on how skinny we were. Ugg, the good old days. ;)
I would add a pic from our wedding, but I realized that I don't have any scanned in the computer. You know way back when I was married pictures were not digital, and we got them all on paper. ;) So maybe another time. When I have some other time. hehe

After 11 years I am still grateful for Micah. He is a wonderful man and a wonderful father. He has had so much patience with me as we have learned to grow together. He knows so much about the gospel and is always wanting more. He teaches me and hopefully I teach him a bit as well. He is a great example to me and our boys. I am grateful for Heavenly Father putting us together. I hope for many more years together. Now all I need to do is get him to buy me more flowers. hehe Love you deary!!

You've got to drop hints about the flowers. Just when you're out and about. You know, just randomly when you see flowers. It really does work!
Congrats on your anniversary! You know by now that I'm so bad with dates but that doesn't lesson how much I LOVE you guys! You're awesome! I remember when you were married. Teaghan was only 4 months old!
The picture of the two of you is just plain cute!!
Hope to see you next week! McKenna really is the cutest thing! I plan to monopolize her plenty in the years to come!
LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!
