15 Years!

Well, it is official . . . John and I have been married for 15 years! July 30th, 1994 doesn't seem like it was that long ago, but when I think of all the things we have done and been through, it seems like forever ago! Instead of doing a lovey-dovey post, which I am so over, I thought I would list some of the things we have been through in the last 15 years . . .

Our Engagement Photo, Tiffany 20, John 23. So young, so naive!

I was so skinny, but didn't realize just how much so!

Look how young we all were! Crazy!

The classic Salt Lake Temple photo.

John was so skinny and his ears stuck out . . . kind of funny.

I fattened him up quite nicely though. And he didn't think I could cook! HAHA!

Fall of 2008 . . . My how we have changed!

He has always been a bit of a loon

I have never been a fan of having my picture taken, but I actually liked this picture of us. Fall of 2002.

An attempt at being sexy . . . didn't work very well. :)

Grand Caymans . . . swimming with the stingrays . . . one of the most exciting events of our lives! Loved that trip!

At dinner on our cruise . . . want to go back desperately! Thank you Tom and Tiffany and Kim and Shane! Seriously was the best vacation we have ever been on!

Aren't we funny . . . looking!

15 years is a long time! I wonder what the next 15 years will hold in store for us!?
