Lucky #13

I really can't believe we went from "just friends" (1994)



(February 1995)


To deciding we want to be lovers for ever (June 1995)



And being married in the Manti temple so we can be together forever. (September 23, 1995), and then making it work for the next 13 years.



I am the luckiest girl in the whole world. I found my perfect boy and made him mine. 13 years ago. The day we were married I couldn't imagine the joy I had in front of me. I didn't know I could grow to love Clay even more. Through babies #1..



#2...



and #3



and more than enough fun between and since. A few of my favorite things about Clay:

-he makes me laugh every day.
-he is both laid back (most things) and completely obsessive (just a few things). for example, he loves to hunt for watches. he started out small and the obsession has grown and grown (current watch Ventura V-matic for those of you who are curious.)

Whatever it is when he is on the hunt he cannot be dissuaded. this benefits me greatly, as i am one of his obsessions.
-he loves being a dad and is so creative and patient with our girls.
-he is always respectful of me and our family
-he is brilliantly smart (that is so hot)
-most of all he makes me happy

love ya, babe. can't wait to make it 13 more with you. 13 year and counting without any fighting! we are lovers, not fighters. we rock.
