Happy Anniversary Honey!!!
I feel sorry for all of you who didn't get to marry the BEST husband in the world. :) I really can't imagine my life without you. You make such cute babies too...and are an amazing Dad to them. And an amazing help to their mom. I can't imagine my life without you. Here's a little flashback of our
8 GREAT
years. It was harder than I thought to find pictures with both of us in them. All of our pictures are of our kids! Thanks for everything honey. I love you.
2 months after we met...setting up the Gatten Christmas tree before I "ditched" him to go to BYU for a semester. We met in the Library at North Idaho College, where he played baseball, and I played soccer. His pick-up line: "Are you Mormon?" (He had seen me at an institute fireside). 
One of the many baseball trips to Utah...this happens to be the trip to UVSC, the day after we got engaged (6 months after meeting).
Engagement pictures in Rexburg. Traveled to Ricks with his sister Aimee for his baseball series. She took our pictures. 
Rafting with the Gattens 4th of July...the weekend before we got married.
Spent our first year of marriage in this duplex in flat Oklahoma...where he played baseball and I dental assisted.
