7 years later--

I met David at the Media Center at Eastern Arizona College in Thatcher Arizona just two weeks after my boyfriend of over three years left on his mission. It took just a couple weeks for my head and heart to change gears drastically and fall in love with David. It is amazing how fast things change in life when it is the RIGHT changes. As I was laying in bed this morning contemplating what we have accomplished in the last seven years, I realized that we have come very far together. Here are some of things we have done, in chronological order:

• Moved in with my parents while our house closed, three weeks.

David asked me this morning if it has been a good seven years, or a bad seven years..... More good then bad. And I wouldn't trade my hubby for anything, or anyone for that matter. We have lived in seven different houses, had five kids, and grown together as a family. I love him more today then I did yesterday, and even more then the day I married him. Best decision I ever made. Happy Anniversary, I love you David!
