It is crazy to think that we have been married for NINE years today!
Here is a little remembering - (for my own personal history...)
Devon and I met the first day of spring classes at BYU in 1997. He had just moved back to BYU after his mission - I had just finished my freshman year and decided to stay for spring and take a couple of classes. We both moved into the same ward - our apartments were right around the corner from each other. (Alpine #13 and Squire #6) We became friends right away! We had lots of fun that spring - and he was pretty much my best friend - we stayed up talking lots of nights on the stairs outside of his apartment.
It took us a few years...but we both finally figured out that we had so much fun together that we didn't need to keep dating other people...we should probably just date each other. Since we were already best friends - it didn't take us too long to decide that we wanted to get married. We both were already committed to work efy in the summer of '99 - so we decided that we were going to wait and get married at the end of the summer! Devon finished working the Calgary session on Saturday - got to Dallas on Monday - and we were married on Tuesday, August 24, 1999 in the Dallas Temple!
It has been a great adventure! In nine years we have...
lived in 3 states - Utah, Ohio, and Missouri
finished lots of school - BYU (me and devon) and Ohio State (devon)
had 3 kids - Cayden, Hadley, and Barrett
bought our first home
opened our own practice
watched the twins start kindergarten
and many other things...
I think the best part for me is knowing that I still have so much fun with my best friend! I still get excited when he calls me from work, or when I know that he is on his way home, or when we get to go on a date! He is still the person I want to be with the most!
I feel so lucky to be married to him - I love the life that we have together!
I Love you Devon (crazy 8's) - Happy Anniversary!

Has it been 9 years??? Wow!!! Happy Anniversary. One of my favorite memories is when you told me that you liked Devon.
