8 Years!!!

Steve and I celebrated our 8 year anniversary this week, and I'm still in shock that it's been so long. Steve and I met while working together at Dillard's when I was 19 and he was 20. I thought he was pretty cute, and he was pretty persistent on asking me out. He probably broke the bank on all of the flowers he bought for me. We went on our first date to the March of Dimes haunted house and then to the Salt Lake Roasting co for hot chocolate. I've always thought that it was the best first date I'd ever been on because we talked for hours and hours about everything. I knew that this was a guy that I definitly wanted to hang around more. Steve proposed to me on April fools day, and I think my parents wished I was joking when I told them I was getting married, all they could say was "You're so young...", but I was totally head over heels. We got married on August 11, 2000 at Heritage Gardens, it was one of the best days of my life! We had all of our family and friends there, even our new kitten came. We went on our honeymoon to Las Vegas, I'm not sure why, I wasn't even 21 years old yet, but we still had a great time. Skip forward a couple of years and now we have two beautiful daughters and another on the way. I feel like the luckiest woman in the world because I married such a great guy. He really takes good care of his family, I know we would never go without. I think he'd get a fifth job before he let that happen. It's so nice to be partners in life with your best friend, the person you share everything with. I can't wait until we're old and grey and looking back on the 50+ years we've spent together. I love you Steve!
