10 Years!! Our Story thus Far

I can't believe that 10 years ago I married one of the cutest guys in my singles ward. Our story actually starts 11 years ago when we first met.

I was the new girl to him in the group that I was in and he was just fresh off of his mission and new to me. I actually persued him and it most definetly paid off. It didn't take much and we were dating. By April of 2003 we were engaged with the help of my bestie and a video camera.

a month of dating and i took him home to cali for my baby brother's blessing. Sept 2002.

The Gila Valley Temple

Today Matt and I took advantage of the Gila Valley Temple open house and took Scott. It was such a neat experience to share it with Scott. It was his first time in a temple and he was fascinated with it. It is such a beatiful temple, and small. I was not expecting it to be as small as it was. This was my 3rd time going to a temple open house and it was also my 3rd time attending a temple dedication.

The session that Matt and I attended was wonderful. We got to hear Pres. Eyring and Pres. Monson speak. I didn't know that Pres. Eyring had roots from the Gila Valley, so to him it a very special event to say the least.

I love what the temple offers and that I'm glad that we made the decision to get married in one so that we can be an eternal family.
