Four years ago....

Today marks our 4 year engagiversary. What's an engagiversary you ask? Why, it's the day we got engaged, of course!! :-) Yes, I find a reason to celebrate as much as possible for any little thing. Morgan thinks it's silly but I love seeing how far we've come since those special little times in our lives. Four years ago today we were in one of my most favorite places with some of my very favoritest (it's definitely a word) people! I remember how ridiculously nervous Morgan was as we drove to the coast with Denver, Kristi and Chase. Morgan is hardly ever quiet, but he didn't talk too much on our drive. There was a breeze blowing when we got to the beach and I remember thinking that the stupid wind was going to mess up my hair for the pictures!!! When we got to the lighthouse Morgan wanted to walk around for a bit....probably to try and calm his nerves. FINALLY we walked over to the bench, he got on one knee and asked me to be his wife. I never looked at the ring, I just looked straight at him and said yes.


I wanted him to know that I wanted to marry him for HIM and not because of the huge ol' rock he gave me. He picked out the ring himself and I never saw it until that day and boy was it ever worth the wait. The man has taste!!! Thinking of that day still brings tears and makes me so very very happy. I am so glad we were able to share that fabulous experience with Denver, Kristi and Chase. And I am so happy that we have been able to return to "our" lighthouse almost every year since then. We have come so far since then it just amazes me.


Two years ago we were sealed for time and all eternity in the Mt. Timpanogos Temple


and then last year we were blessed with our sweet little Sam


Seriously, can life get any better?? Granted we've had our downs as well....miscarriage, Morgan being laid off, but we have each other and that's what really matters. I love my little family more than anything and I'm so happy that we have forever to share together.

I LOVE you guys! I was always worried that Morgan was a little slow...but then he proposed to you and I realized that he really is an intelligent man! Congrats! I think I should head over to the coast to celebrate for you...

You bring me hope everyday that Matt, Mya and I will be a forever family soon. I'm the same way to celebrate the little things that means so much. And you are right nothing matters more than family.

I didn't know that is how he proposed-I love it!
And I am so glad that you have been blessed with each other and sweet Sam. I remember Kristi telling me how you guys were being married in the temple and how happy I was that you guys would be together forever.
I love that we are connected for eternity.
It will be fun to see (and read) what new adventures are coming your way.
