Jeff and I are celebrating 14 years of marriage today. That seems like a long time, but sometimes it feels like I just met him, while sometimes I feel that I've always known him. I just wanted to do some "rememberin'" about our time together. Remember when:**David introduced us to each other? We actually met. We were not just hearing about each other.
**we snowmobiled with James and Carrie?
**we snowmobiled at the cabin over New Years?
**our dates started after BYU basketball games?
**we caught all those striped bass with Dave and Sarah at Powell?
**you proposed at the cabin? Was there any other anwer but "YES?"
**you painted that wall while we were on a date?
**when the temple workers took us to the wrong sealing room?
**that boat wouldn't start at Powell?
**that boat started on fire at Strawberry?
**you purchased a great big fishing boat that starts...and I don't mean on fire?
**we lived at Casa Linda?
**those people backed into our car at Casa Linda and gave us money and made Thai food
because they felt bad? That food was SPICY!
**we felt bad for ourselves because we didn't have snowmobiles?
**you received your only grade that wasn't an "A or A-" from that cursed lab assistant?
**we graduated with Sherri from BYU?
**we begged that guy...I'm thinking his name is Cleave...to rent to us at Orchard Creek?
**you were Scout Master? I could ask this one 3 or 4 times.
**you used to dig for potatoes at our quaking aspen house?
**Kate was born? It was just you and me. And then, there she was and she was just so beautiful and that bottom lip sticking out was so stinking cute! And you found my first gray hair.
**you had to carry Kate around on your forearm with her head smashed into your hand?
**we went to Canada? What were we thinking?
**Hunter was born? Remember the doctor? You imitate him perfectly. And remember the anesthesiologists? You imitate him perfectly, too.
**Taft was born? It was like a day at the office.
**Amelia was born? She came to us needing a haircut. She IS the Cute!!
**Monson was born? Who would've believed he'd come 10 days early, a day after Gage, right during the bow hunt, and with no backup plan for our other kids?
**Sundays were actually relaxing?
Thanks for the good times, Jeff!! And thanks for helping make the best of and being supportive during those not so good times!! Love you...--Amy

Remember when...
...After many of your previous dates had failed the 'little brother test' Jeff responded perfectly to a precisely placed snowball in the back of the head (on your first date?..from Tim).
...You used to watch countless hours of 'Charles in Charge' episodes dreaming about your future husband...(Okay, I made this one up, sorry Jeff).

...P.S., since the Beuts are descriminatory towards us non-blogger types, Happy Birthday Gage. Rest assured that Ella is still constantly looking out for Gage and the quality of his nap time sleep. How long has it been and she is still telling us "Ssssh, Gage is sleeping..."

Tearing up again....I was only there for the last four children but it feels like forever. You two are an AWESOME couple and my husband talked so hightly of you before I met you guys. So glad you are our family and our buddies to boot! Happy Anniversary! Next year let's cruise it together for our ten year and your 15 year?!
Whats this about a boat starting on fire? I don't think I've ever heard that story.
Happy Anniversary! It's such a great day!!
