8 Blissful Years

8 years ago today Larry and I were as nervous as can be...

(OK, at least I was...Larry is never jolted)
We ran through rain into the LA Temple, using my wedding dress bag as an umbrella!
And who ever said that rain on a wedding day is good luck...
is a liar.
They just say those things so the Bride won't cry!
It took 8 years as being friends previous to that wedding day,
to build up a solid relationship that we knew could last eternity.
And we won't have it any other way!

Summer 1999
Larry is fresh off his mission.
After this FUN summer together we still didn't get engaged.
(to every one's dismay)
And finished another year of school instead.

Summer 2000
Amgen Beach Party
No matter what happened between us in our lives,
we ALWAYS ended up back together.
Even with a long distance relationship!

Summer 2000
Camping with my family at McGrath State Beach, CA.
Even with some MEGA-sunburns we were
still happy to be spending time together!

October 2000
Caught some precious time together in UT.
Little did I know he was already saving for a ring.

Engaged November 2000
Gosh we look young!
Especially Larry...is he 14 or what?

Wedding Day (at last)
April 2001

Who knew 8 years from then we'd have 4 kids, a house, a law degree and the stretch marks to prove it!
