5 Years Already!?!

I can't believe it.  Sometimes it feels like we JUST got married, but most of the time I just feel like I've known Tyler my whole life. 

It's fun to look back at where we were 5 years ago (well... almost 6 years ago I guess when we first met).  Tyler had felt on his mission that he needed to get out of Utah when he got home.  He didn't right away :).  Looking back at our time lines, if he had left right when he got home, we both would have been spared from awful relationships.  But we both learned a lot from those relationships.  He found an exchange program through SUU and headed out to Iowa on a whim.  He came out in January of 2008, and we met at an FHE for the singles branch. He had nowhere to live at first, but ended up finding a room with a few of my friends from out tiny singles branch.  We were both dating other people at the time, my relationship was coming to a close however, and somehow I just knew.  I just knew after a few days of just hanging out with him, not even dating, that I was going to marry him.  It took him a little longer ;) but the rest is history.   We got married in the Nauvoo, Illinois LDS Temple October 8, 2008, and Tyler finished his semester of school while I worked and we moved back to Cedar City so he could finish his bachelors. Our moving trailer had a mattress, a very small recliner, a folding table, 2 chairs and an unfinished night stand and our clothes, haha.  And we thought we had a lot back then! 

Now we have 2 kids, have lived in 7 apartments, 4 cities, have had 5 jobs, still have 3 years of school, still have and now OWN 1 car, have a LOT more used furniture than we started out with, and so many good memories and good times I don't even know where to start! Life is good when you marry your Best Friend.  He's the best there is.
