10 years ago tonight, and might I add I was only 18.................

Matt asked me to marry him!! It's our 10 year engagement anniversary! I really can't believe it's been ten years. And I can't believe I was only 18!! Yes, we have told Matt plenty of times that he "robbed the cradle", but I guess he was young himself: 22 years old. But I was always one that said I was not getting married until I was 25, ya like that happened. I was married and had TWO KIDS by the time I was 25! Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't have changed a thing!! I've LOVED being married to Matt for almost 10 years!!
I can remember us sitting on that stone seat in front of the Salt Lake Temple. It was night, a night after a fancy dinner and Kurt Bester's Christmas Concert. We were talking and holding hands, very romantic. I have to say I had NO IDEA what was to happen next. Then all of the sudden he got down on one knee and pulled out a ring. He asked me to marry him. I was the most surprized at that moment than in any other time in my life, even up to now! He does tease me that he had to say, "well?" because I didn't answer right away. I was just sooo shocked and thrilled! Of course I said yes and the rest is history! We got married 3 months later in the Bountiuful Temple!
Happy Anniversary Matt! I love you so much!

This is one of our engagement pictures. We look so young huh!? Time flies when your having fun.............

Congrats!! I cant believe it has been ten years! Are you sure that picture was not taken when you were both still in high school?! You look so young and innocent! :) The best part of your wedding(after you and matt actually getting married) was the bouquet toss/fight between Liseanne and Jacque! You really should post that on your blog!

I love your family pictures on the side of your blog! So cute! The one with you and Liliann is so sweet!
