Today is our 17th wedding anniversary! I can't believe it has been that long. In ways it seems like we have always been together and in other ways it seems like just yesterday. We were married on August 2, 1991 in the Salt Lake Temple and it has been a wonderful 17 years together. Some of you will laugh at the word art on the layout. It says, "He asked, she said yes." Although Sean always says that I asked him, the real story is I did bring up the subject, but he really did the asking. Here is a list of our 17 favorite memories as a couple (not in any particular order):
1 - The births of each of our three wonderful boys
2- The cruise to Alaska for our 10th anniversary
3 - Staying at Daniel's Summit Lodge and riding the 4-wheelers in the mountains around Strawberry Reservoir and picking wild raspberries for one of our anniversaries.
4 - Fishing at Windy Bills for our honeymoon and then going back again for our 1st anniversary. Meeker, Colorado. We also had a great time riding horses and chasing elk with uncle Craig.
5 - Taking the 4-wheelers up to Red Lake in Payson canyon for one of our anniversaries.
6 - Our weekly Friday afternoon lunch date.
7 - Our trip to Orlando and riding all of the roller coasters and thrill rides at Islands of Adventure.
8 - Teaching the 8 year old Primary class and the 15 year old sunday school class as team teachers.
9 - Dancing, we met country dancing and most of our dates were to the Palace or the dances with the Western Dance Club. We still love dancing together.
10 - Sitting in the hot tub in the evenings and talking.
11 - Going bow hunting the first year we were married and actually getting a deer.
12 - Our trip to San Francisco twice, the first time just the two of us and the 2nd time with Diane and LaMarr.
13 - Fixing up the old house together and moving into our other two homes
14 - 4-wheeling at the Devil's Racetrack at San Rafael with the Barton's
15 - Buying tickets for all of the Nielsen's and going to Grandma Nielsen's 80th birthday in California
16 - Going to St. George camping and 4 wheeling twice, first time with the Barton's and 2nd time with Jen, Todd and Haylee, and Jason and Carolyn.
17 - Taking the Nielsen family to Lake Powell and teaching them to play watermelon basketball.
