7 Years Ago

This last Saturday was our 7 year anniversary. It makes me feel old to count years. Here is a picture from our wedding day. What a blissful day it was. We were so young and in love.

Babe, after all these years, I still love you more than anything in the whole wide world! In fact, I love you so much, I hope you die first! (OK, anyone besides him reading this may think I am a terrible wife but it's just a little inside joke. I used to always say, "I love you so much that I don't want to live without you, so I hope I die first." But then I realized, that's pretty selfish. If you really loved someone should you really hope to die first and leave them in this world so sad without you? We figured it is much less selfish to say "I hope you die first." But when you say it that way it just sounds wrong, doesn't it?)

Anyways, our families were great to watch the kids for us so we could go have a date all day. We didn't do much but it was nice just to get out together... we went and did sealings in the morning (and ran into Adam and Emilee at the temple) and then went to dinner and a movie in the evening. We hope that by our 10th anniversary we will be able to afford something a little more exciting. Here's hoping.

Of course we had to call it an early evening since we still had to go home and prepare our Sunday school lesson for the next day. We are such procrastinators! But in all sadness it won't be that way much longer. Kole got a new calling in the Elder's Quorum presidency on Sunday. It was totally unexpected and of course they called us Thursday to meet with the stake presidency on Sunday so we could stress all weekend about what was coming! But it's all good. He's been the elder's quorum secretary and first counselor when we were in our student ward so at least he's used to all the meetings. But now, since we co-taught the 14-18 years olds, we are both getting released from that calling. I am sad because I really liked it. Oh well. The Lord knows what He's doing. Change is good even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
