July 29, 2005....30 percent chance of rain. It was like any other Friday in Saint George, Utah, except.....that it was OUR wedding day!
Yep, 5 years ago Ben and I tied the knot. My dad married us with Thunder and lightening crashing all around us and as soon as we said our I do's the heaven's opened up and rained on us. It was amazing and oh so beautiful. At the time the rain was my worst fear. Now it is one of the favorite memories of the day.
I LOVE seeing other peoples wedding photos so I thought I'd post a few of our. You must promise not to laugh!

My little bro Joey. He was afraid he would never see me again. He even cried before this pic.
And here we are now. :)
5 years and 2 kids later.
I love you babe. I know we still have the best years to come. I can't imagine life without you.
"I grant you that there are many who approach the responsibility of motherhood with fear and timidity, because of its dangers to the physical life of mother, because of its pain, its sorrows and its distress, but in the very nature of things, if God should lighten the burdens, the sorrows, and the pain of child bearing he would endanger the enduring love of the mother for her children.
There is nothing worthwhile we obtain unless we pay the price for it. That which is given to us freely, we consider of little value, and so a mother goes into the valley of death, lays her life upon the alter to bring life into the world, and because through the rearing of the chidren who come to her, she spends many sleepless nights, denies herself the personal pleasures of life, devotes herself with patience and care and strength, almost more than she has, to the welfare of her children, -- this is what makes her love them. For where her treasure is, there her heart is, and the greatest treasure a woman has she gives in her service, her life itself."
~Melvin J. Ballard
"If you are still inthe process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will-to your surprise-miss them profoundly."
~President Thomas S. Monson
I have been married 5 1/2 years to my best friend. Together we have two children, Jackson age 5 and Dylan age 1.
