The Year of Linen, Silk, and Appliances

Today is our 4th Wedding Anniversary! What a wonderful four years it has been. Gregg is an amazing husband and father and I am so blessed to be able to spend eternity with him. In honor of this special day, I decided to scan some photos. Enjoy!

This was taken before we were engaged. I went with Gregg to Kaysville, UT to spend Christmas with his family, and they had scheduled a time to get some family pictures done. Gregg and I knew we were getting married (we had already gone ring shopping), but we hadn't told anyone yet. Very, very sneaky.


This is one of our many engagement photos taken by Jennifer (Mangum) Kouba. I had to throw this one in because there is a sweet little story behind that heart necklace I'm wearing. Gregg and I met over the summer of 2003 while he was a clerk for the law firm I was working at. About two weeks before he had to leave to go back to law school, we decided to start dating exclusively. I was so sad the day he had to leave, but I was so happy to find a small gift from him in my room when I came home from work that day. It was this heart necklace and on the card he had written "I may be gone, but I'm leaving my heart in Las Vegas." Isn't that so romantic? I was beaming. Okay, so that story was a little longer then I planned, but still sweet.


A kiss on the cheek. On the Las Vegas Temple grounds, after we were sealed.


I love this one, except for the fact that I wasn't suppose to smile. I couldn't help it though cause I was one happy girl.


Isn't this one sweet? Aren't my shoes cute?


This was taken by Gregg's mom at the family luncheon we had after the sealing. Isn't my husband hot? Don't answer that. It would just be awkward, whether you agree or not.


This and the next one were both taken in Chichen Itza on our honeymoon.

Here we are with the view from our hotel room in Cancun behind us. Beautiful, no?


Here's to forever, honey. I love you!

How cute was that? I can't believe it's been four years! Where does the time go? I remember hearing about Gregg giving you a necklace before he left... but I never heard the story behind it. He is so secretive...I was a little surprised he could be so sensitive... very sweet story. Looking forward to seeing you guys... even if Gregg is still annoyed with me :-)

So did you guys have a good memorial day?
I've been waiting for a blog to say what you ended up doing... but nothing yet... Anyhow, we just hung out,and did yard work. You guys talked us into checking out Netflix, and we love it. We just watched Stomp the Yard... We both really liked it. Have you seen it? Any summer plans? Let us know
