Eight Years!

Today is our anniversary of being married for eight years! Stinks though, because I've been feeling crummy all day long today (bleh!). A lot has happened since then. Spent a few years finishing college, bought a house, a few years working full time, became parents to the most amazing daughter EVER, and life continues.

Jared and I first met at Snow college, but not much more than acquaintances. But enough that three years later while at USU we were in a western swing class together and got chatting on the first day because we didn't know anyone else in the class. I ended up transferring out of that class a few weeks later for the same class that had a better time for me. Ugh! If I had only known. Our first date was on January 27th, 2001 (which I accidentally stood him up for, but I still hold my ground that it wasn't my fault), we were engaged during finals week in May and were married on July 10th. Our engagement was kind of a crummy time because I was working in Salt Lake and he took an internship in Boise, Idaho so we only got to see each other a handful of times that summer until we were married.

I'm very lucky that we have a great relationship and we complement each other so well. Becoming parents has blossomed our relationship in so many ways that I can't even count. I knew all along that he would be a great dad, but I didn't know he would be truly awesome! He absolutely adores Kylie, plays with her, makes her laugh, changes her diaper, and is such a hands on dad. She quite literally has her finger wrapped around his. I'm looking forward to many more years with my sweet hubby!
