Happy Anniversary Georgie!





8 years ago today, I married my best friend. 7 years ago this week, we were sealed for Time and all Eternity in the Vernal Temple, with our precious little girl. I can honestly say, I have never been happier in my marriage. It seems that we made it through the struggles of college, having kids, being extremely poor, finding a good job, house, car, etc. It really feels like I was holding my breath for almost 7 years, and now I can exhale. Now, we feel like an old married couple just starting the life of Soccer Mom and Boy Scout Leader Dad. (which I am not a soccer mom and G.J. is not in scouts, but you get the picture!) We are still not rich, and I know we will still have trials, but with a wonderful husband by my side, and through the growth and progress we have made these past 8 years, I hope from here on out it will be easier.
Happy Anniversary G.J., I love you!
(p.s. I know we were both super young, and it shows in those pictures. I think I look somewhat the same now(besides the extra 50 lbs I have on me! I think G.J. looks like a little boy in those pictures!!! I guess 8 years married to me has aged him into a handsome older looking man!)

You both look young but more as a youthful beautiful bride and groom. I love your long hair in the first picture. Congratulations on today. Hope you have a nice day. You both deserve it. You have worked hard to make this happen, Not everyone does and esp not people so young. Great great great job. You guys should get called to teach the family relations class. hehe that would be so scary.

Happy Anniversary. I was thinking the same thing. You look young, but you look the same. I love the picture of you in front of the temple in all white. How sweet. You all just glow.

Happy Anniversary! You look so beautiful in your pictures!
Thanks for leaving me comments while we were on our trip, we were safe the entire time, and had a great trip. I feel so sorry for the people in that train wreck and that earthquake. I appreciate your friendship!
