Happy Anniversary

Scott and I met on the Rexburg cruise on Feb 23, 1996. As he got in his truck to leave, he told his buddies that one day, he was going to marry me. As he walked away, I turned to my friend Julie and said, "That's the man I'm going to marry." We took our time, had a beautiful daughter along the way and finally chose to get married on May 15, 2004.
We have never celebrated an anniversary, so on our 5th "married" anni, we decided to actually celebrate. He surprised me with a dozen peach roses, and I surprised him with a night at the Rustic Inn in Jackson, dinner at a local dive and a Mountain Man retreat the next day. Nothing major, but it was fun to just get away and hang out. When we got home, we realized that we hadn't turned the radio on the entire drive there or back, we were so busy talking and catching up.

I
am so glad I married the man of my dreams. I am so glad that we moved here so that we could find each other, and I am so glad we have a beautiful life together. Scottie, I can't wait to grow old with you.
