Were we really THAT young?

October 5 has always been a great day. Well at least the last 15 years it has! On Dec. 12, 1994 I got a phone call and the person on the other line said "Did somebody page me?"  I answered "maybe, how old are you?" I figured it was one of the many guy's I had met at the mall, and I continued a conversation with him.Well what teenage girl doesn't like to talk on the phone? Eventually we met and started dating, yep he was 14 and I was 13. We dated on and off until October 5, 1995, that's when we officially became a "couple". He lived in West Valley, UT and I lived in Bountiful, UT. We would see each other every chance we could. On Saturdays I used to ride the bus for 2 1/2 hrs. to be at his basketball or soccer games, leaving my house at 5am sometimes. Then he turned 16 and he got a car, that meant more time together! When I turned 16 he bought me my first car a 1984 ford tempo!  We did all the typical teenage things dances, double dates, movies, dragging state. We even traveled together a lot. Our first trip was to the KOA in Willard, I clearly remember a weekend of eating bugles chips and raspberry filled doughnuts and him not being able to start a fire LOL!

I feel so blessed to be his wife, he is everything(+more) that I could ever ask for in a husband, and our kids have thee most amazing father!

To celebrate today we had spumoni ice cream for dessert. One of our favorite old school date places is The Old Spaghetti Factory. This is the ice cream we would get, but we had a different name for it we called it "spa moon me"!

Chris came home with my favorite candy bar, which I ate while doing recess duty at the school today. It was a nice little piece of heaven!
