I did, I do, I will

24 years ago I found this Studmuffin on a dance floor in Northpole, Alaska.

For 4 years I had been playing the field HARDCORE……marriage was not on my agenda…..

It took him only 3 weeks……and I knew……..

We were engaged…….25 years and 7 months ago today………..

25 years ago today, we were married in the St. George, UT Temple. (I belong to the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or LDS) It was all very serious and beautiful……

Then of course there was a reception and it was anything BUT serious……

One might wonder what in the world I was doing here…..I have no recollection…

I do know that here I had just taken off my garter and Phil had to steal the show by revealing that he had worn these most HATED of socks the entire reception!!! I thought I had thrown these away before we left Alaska but he had gone dumpster diving ---ACK!!

HAPPY QUARTER OF A CENTURY POOD!!!!! Each year has been better than the last—I can’t wait till 50! LOVE YOU!

Just a little ending note::::::::::

As I was going through my box looking for pictures to scan for this post, I came across a lot of memorabilia. I even found our plane tickets that we had used from Alaska to Utah. I thought I had kept them for a memento of our “special” day. Then I turned it over……

Yeah, it had to be for a memento of our “special” day…that's it.

You’re welcome.

Kelly’s First Date

My Boo went on her first date! It was a double date with 2 boys that have been like her big brothers growing up so it was all good. We had tickets to a local fundraising dinner theatre production that we couldn't use---so we gave them to the 4 of them to use. They were the youngest people there but they loved it and had a great time so I guess it is all good. Her older sister wanted complete photo documentation so that's why I even happen to have photos. Where does the time go???!!!

Getting ready. Can you believe she let me do her make up?! I felt so special!

These next pictures are of her posing after she got all ready.

With her being home schooled I don't have a lot of "posed" type so it was fun to take advantage of the moment!

Plus I got to practice a little more with my camera and with my Photoshop Elements!

And last but not least---right before they left---
