Nutshellin' Seven Years

I was barely 21, Tony was almost 22.

The day was beautiful and sunny.

We were married at 8:20 am.

In the Salt Lake Temple.

Lake Tahoe for the Honeymoon.

Have vacationed in Yellowstone together that year and every year since.

Lived in a lovely appartment in Kearns for 9 months.

Bought a very nice house in West Valley.

Had three miscarriages, and three successful pregnancies (fingers-crossed).

Two beautiful little girls so far, with another (boy or girl) on the way.

Been Primary Teachers, Sunday School Teachers, Elders Quorem Presidency, Young Women's Secretary, Activities Committee, Young Men's President...and other little things.

Seven jobs for Tony (Eyre Electric, Esteemed Services, DHL Driver, Moog Aircraft, Semitool, Fluid Power Institute, and back to Moog Aircraft)

Three for me (JCPenney Optical, Bud Bailey Construction, Jacobsen Construction) and then the best job of all.

Ten between both of us!

Together we enjoy picnics, walks around the neighborhood, playing with the kids, grocery shopping, working together on projects, talking, dreaming, camping.

We're always up for a car ride.

I am so thankful for the things we have in common, and a little more reluctant to admit that I might be just as thankful for our differences.

Lot's of love, lot's of laughs, lot's of tears happy and sad, lot's of learning done and lot's left to do. Lot's of family times, lot's of trips, lot's of planning, lot's of fun.

Mostly, we just like to be together with each other and our family whatever we are doing.

Would do it all over again in a heartbeat.

Just for Tony, I love you... love, your sweetiekins.
