HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

This weekend brings our 9th anniversary. Lee and I were married Sept. 4th, 1999. I can't believe how fast the time has gone. We have had a great time. I am so glad I was smart enough to marry the incredible, smart, good looking, wonderful father, and loving husband that I did. For those you don't know or don't remember our story I wanted to recap how Lee and I met. Flashback to spring of 1999. I had been invited to go the Lagoon night sponsored by the Ogden LDS institute. Laurie, my friend, had a friend from her mission, Laura, who had called and asked her if she wanted to go with a group of her friends. In turn Laurie called me, and I agreed to go and meet this particular group of people. We arrived at Lagoon late (no big surprise) and met them at the front doors. I assessed the situation and decided that they all seemed fairly nice. Part way through the night Laurie ran off for awhile with someone else she knew. This was good because then I really got to know that fun bunch. Lee somehow fanagled it, that he and I would end up on the sky ride together. He planned that so he could get to know me better. In short, he asked me for my phone number that night, and I gave it to him, thinking he seemed kind of quiet and shy for me.
Early the next morning he called and asked me out. I already had plans with a group of students from one of my spanish classes. I told him we were going dancing at a latino club in SLC. Guess who showed up there that night? Yep, Lee did. At first I thought he was a stalker, but after dancing and talking to him most of the night, I really came to like him. We had a date the next week which was way fun. We went on a hike, and watched a movie at the planitarium at WSU. Lee's brother was working there at the time. I went out with another guy the night after I went out with Lee. It was a top 5 worst dates ever, and when I arrived home I found Lee had left me a dozen roses to thank me for a great date the night before. That totally lifted my spirits. A few days later I left for Costa Rica for a month to study abroad. I had a fantastic time, but missed Lee, and did send him some postcards. When I got home I called him a couple of days later, and we went that weekend. After that it was history, we were with each other all the time. We had so much fun, and could communicate really well. We were engaged over the 4th of July. Were were married 2 months later in the Ogden LDS Temple. I was, and still am so in love with him. Happy Anniversary!
