This day seven years ago was one of the best days of my life. That's when I married my best friend. That means we have been together a total of nine years! Wow time has flown. We've been through so much. Here's what the past seven years have looked like through pictures.
First anniversary
We celebrated our first anniversary at the hotel we got married at in Arizona. People always say the first year is always the hardest but it was actually very easy for us. We were both working full time. Me in a salon and Jordan at a property management company.
Second anniversary
Our second anniversary we celebrated in the White Mountains in Arizona. We stayed in a little cabin up in the mountains.
One of the fun things we did this year was take a trip to the Grand Canyon with my best friend.
We looked so young!
Third anniversary
This was a fun and very eventful year. We spent our third anniversary at the same place we spent our honeymoon. The happiest place on earth. Disneyland!
A few weeks later we got a big surprise. I was pregnant with Jessalyn!
The end of April that year we made our big move to Kansas.
October 2010 we welcomed our baby girl into the world. We were officially a family of three.
Fourth anniversary
Our fourth anniversary was our first one we celebrated with Kansas. And we didn't celebrate it alone. We got to spend it with this chubby girl.
Fifth anniversary
Our fifth year was very special for our whole family.
We were able to be sealed for all time and eternity in the Kansas City Temple in October of that year.
Sixth anniversary
The day after our sixth anniversary we found out we were expecting our sweet little Jayven.
It was an action packed year filled with a growing belly, moving, lots of doctors appointments...
And one big early debut!
The year our tiny baby boy was born.
Jess became a big sister and we became a family of four.
We have grown so much with each other in seven years. We were 19 and 20 when we first started dating and 21 and 22 when we got married. We were still babies growing up and learning. What better way to grow then with your best friend. We've become the people we are because of each other. Although this past year has been the toughest as far as trials go, I still feel like each year gets better. Marriage doesn't take that much work when it's with someone who knows you and loves you for you no matter what your flaws and downfalls are. Marriage has actually been the easy part. It's life in general that can get tough. But with your best friend and partner for all eternity is by your side... You make it through and become stronger together. Happy anniversary to the love of my life!
