nine

nine years. it's amazing how much changes in your relationship the more years you are together. i cannot wait until we celebrate 50 + years. i cannot even imagine the love we will have then. we had a great time together even if all our plans fell through. (how does a place run out of reservation times at noon? how is the one movie you want to see completely sold out?)
first timers at tucanos
goodies at goodies
walking and holding hands
best company

doug is daring and loved all the weird food there...sushi and quail eggs for example

i enjoyed the brazilian lemonade...not as exotic...

August So Far...

August has been crazy. 

Ready for a whole lot of pictures!?

 First, Doug's Grandma Green came for a visit! It was so fun to see her and she looks as good as ever. The girls of course loved her right away!!

Doug had a birthday...31 to be exact.

 I took the girls to Park City to see my family and my grandma from Florida. My Grandma is so active and looks amazing. It was so great to see her. I was able to go to the temple with Lisa, we went to parks, the Alpine Slide, played games, and just enjoyed the company!

Katelyn ran back and forth on this bridge for a good 40 minutes (don't you think guys!?). It was too funny. The other girls loved it too!

I went to Girl's Camp with the young women from my ward.

We celebrated our 8th anniversary! We stayed in Boise while Doug's parents had a sleepover with the girls. They had fun, we had fun. Win, win!

 

And August isn't even over yet....

{I love us}

Married for eternity to my best friend.

7 years....August 14, 2004

I love this man!

How we celebrated:

Packed boxes and took apart furniture to move into our first home. Not too shabby :)

6 Years

August 14, 2004
Logan, Utah Temple
Married my best friend for eternity

How we celebrated:
Our wonderful friends Shad and Krista (and their handsome son Owen) from Spokane came for a job interview so we were able to party it up with them. It was so nice to have them here and if he gets the job they would move here. Yippee!!!
We walked around a beautiful park, had the best deli sandwich (my favorite) and a 1/2 price Cherry Limeade :):), a picnic lunch, walked around the Capitol, got calls, emails, texts, mail from family and friends, watched a movie, had a wonderful day with my man and friends.

6 years with the man of my dreams. Many, many more to come!

Look at that adorable family :)

Allie LOOOVES Owen. She can't stop talking about him.

Dear, sweet Katelyn was around too. She was doing this most of the time. Love her!
