Happy Anniversary!

13 years ago today is when it all began. My mind keeps wandering back to our wedding day. It was a beautiful April day (even though it had snowed the day before and again the day after). When Jeremy arrived at my house to drive down to Salt Lake, he was in a panic because he'd forgotten to bring his ring so we drove back to get it and made it to our wedding breakfast at the Lion House a little late. After eating with friends and family we went across the street to the temple and had a beautiful wedding ceremony and a reception in Layton later that day. What I keep thinking is that way back then I would never have guessed that 13 years later I'd be raising four kids and living in Chicago! We never know what lies up ahead for us. We've been through some really hard and stressful times and had a lot of fun and excitement also. If I had my life to live over again, I wouldn't change a thing about our marriage. There is no one else I'd rather be going down this road with!
We celebrated our anniversary in February with a trip to Mexico so we're not doing anything special or exchanging gifts today, but I did make a list to give to Jeremy and I want you all to see what a great person he is.
