Throwback Thursday: 27 Years Ago Today, I Married My Best Friend


John graduated from Brigham Young University exactly one week before our wedding.  We were young, in love, and had our lives in front of us. 


Neither John nor I remember what we did last Thursday.  We are not as young (the need for reading glasses does not make one old, right?) [though perhaps a declining memory does!], but we are exponentially more in love, and still have forever in front of us.

Happy anniversary, John!

  3. Happy Anniversary! What a blessing to be "exponentially more in love". May you have many more years together on earth before the eternity part.

  4. Congratulations! Beautiful photo. Curious...where did you get married? Unless my memory is worse than I thought, that's not at BYU. :)

    1. Good job for recognizing that isn't the Provo temple! I guess I should have put in a few more details. We met in Provo at BYU, but chose to be married in the Seattle temple. I grew up in Oregon, and at the time, the Seattle temple was closest for my family. The church has built many more temples since that time, and now 85% of Mormons live within 200 miles of a temple.

Ten Things of Thankful: Autumn Edition

It's autumn time, one of my favorite times of year.  I just couldn't leave this weekend as a one-post weekend.  

Ten Things of Thankful: Last Two Weeks

  Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park, as viewed from an overlook I apologize for not commenting on your blog posts this past week; John and I took a vacation to Yellowstone National Park, leaving behind our computers and, to a large extent, cell phone service. We escaped the outside world and just spent time in nature. Though we have friends near Yellowstone (who we love to visit) we made this trip just about us, so please forgive us if we were nearby and didn't stop by. The crowds were minimal (though we did mask up whenever we passed someone on the trails) and we spent our days hiking, taking photos, and watching geysers erupt. Today, we are back home and back to work, and, in the case of my computer, back to old shenanigans like not letting me import my photos. (I was able to add the above photo by using blogger on my phone, but that isn't my preferred method.) I want to write about Yellowstone and have photos I want to share, but will leave that for another

Monday Mentions: Equate Crutches

Have you ever needed crutches? I hadn't, until a week ago.  I'm pretty sure I strained a muscle while running a half-marathon.  (That sounds kind of cool, doesn't it? I'm not actually that cool; the last time I strained a muscle it was from carrying too many shopping bags at once.) In any case, I found myself in need of some crutches. I sent my husband to the store to get some. Photo: A pair of crutches leans against a wall  Not that crutches are all that complex, but because I hadn't used any before, I wondered if I could figure out how to adjust them to fit me properly. I shouldn't have worried. John came home from Walmart with their generic store brand of crutches, complete with instructions. First, I needed to take out a long bolt that went through the hand grip. Then I needed to find my height range, push down two metal pieces, and slide the crutches until the little metal pieces came up in the hole near my height range. (Having two people for this
