LUCKY 13



Thirteen amazing years ago Brad and I were married in the Boise Temple. Thirteen years, 5 children, 1 miscarriage, TOO many funerals, including 5 grandparents, 1 brother, 1 father, and several friends, 6 major surgeries, 26 states visited, 8 years of college, 3 degrees, 11 moves in 3 states, 3 homes, 2 row-homes, 5 apartments, 8 vehicles, 10 wards, 3 nights spent away from our children (all on separate occasions) for fun (so, not including hospital visits), 1 tornado, 1 whiteout, several flash floods, millions of prayers, tears, smiles, inside jokes and kisses. Brad, I can't believe how much MORE I love you now. Thanks for 13 Lucky, crazy, WONDERFUL years.




Eternity is too short if that's all I get to spend with you!

Hel-lo!!!

Happy Anniversary! You have packed a lot into these 13 years!! You make ours look so boring.

We are so glad that you two are "you two." Because where would we be without you?...our first *married couple friends*? You are both so fun and still so good at flirting :) We're going to take lessons next time we get together.

Have a great day and Happy Smooching {mwah!}.

Oh my gosh. I love how young you both look. Wow. And the dress...you can totally tell that you got married in the 1990s. That's awesome. I hope when I post pictures from our wedding in 9 years that I still look the exact same. But somehow I doubt it. It was only four years ago, and already I think I look young in them.

Congratulations! I love that I knew you shortly after that fabulous day 13 years ago. I'll never forget how much I learned from watching you two be so in love. It's pretty amazing how much it grows and changes through it all, isn't it??? I love LOVE.

Wow! 13 years! Time flies when you're in love. How great it is to have your best friend along for all of life's adventures. And you're still acting like you're on your honeymoon!

Lots of love to both you guys! (Karen)
