Today is my three year anniversary! I can't believe how quickly three years has gone. I remember rushing home because my Mum said I had a letter from Aaron. - he was at boot camp - and screaming at the top of my lungs when I read the words, "lets get married during my boot leave." Ok, so it wasn't the most romantic proposal but I was still very excited. The only down side was I had ten weeks to plan my dream wedding.
With help from my sister, I managed to make and send the invitations, pick the most gorgeous wedding dress EVER!! Find the bridesmaids their dresses - which I think was the most stressful part, trying to get the same dress for four very different girls - we ordered the cake, made the centerpieces, found the perfect tie for the groomsmen, booked the temple, planned the food for the reception, ordered the flowers and everything else that goes with planning a wedding. One thing is for sure I couldn't have done it without her.
On, Saturday September 17th, 2010, at 10am, Aaron and I were sealed for time and all eternity in the Redlands, CA Temple. I will never forgot the wonderful feeling that came with knowing that I get to spend FOREVER with my love. I couldn't have pictured getting married anywhere else. It was worth every sacrifice to know I was gettiing married in the right place, to the right guy by the right authority - Elder Bruce R. McConkie
Our first year and a half of marriage was spent in the beautiful city of Monterey. I couldn't believe that I was a newlywed living in an apartment overlooking the ocean! It was here in Monterey where we decided to expand our little family. We were so blessed to have Hannah Betty and couldn't imagine life without her.
Three years on and we are now living in beautiful Southern California. Aaron is getting ready for deployment and Hannah and I are enjoying the perks of living so close to the beach :) Our three years of marriage have certainly had its ups and downs, but we are still happy, still in love, and still excited to see what the future brings.
Three years down and many more happy years to come :)
