16 Years

Jason and I celebrated our 16th wedding anniversary on August 14th.  It fell on a Wednesday which Jason often has off work so we were excited to have the whole day together.  Then our day started to fill up with activities for the kids: school registration, sports practice, scouts.  Jason was a little frustrated and asked why the day had to revolve around the kids.  Of course, that seems to just be the stage of life we are in right now.  We had a hard time coming up with something to do with our time constraints.  I suggested mountain biking or hiking but since it was just a couple days before the Hobble Creek Half Marathon we didn't want to do anything too strenuous.  We finally settled on going to the temple together.  Since Ogden is still closed, we went to Bountiful, where we were married.  We got to wander around a bit inside and found the room we were married in.  It was a fun way to remember the day we were married.  We had just enough time to grab a quick dinner on the way home before we had to get to Andrew's court of honor for scouts.

Here we are 16 years later, still happily married, even if we are a little older.  Life has it's share of ups and downs for us but I'm so glad to share it with my best friend!
