I can't believe It's been 3 years already.


Yesterday Mark and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary which means I have had this blog for a year cause my first post was last year's anniversary pictures. But anywho, In honor for our anniversary I will post a few things that have happened in the last three year.Let's call it....

What let to Marriage.

This is our wedding invitation. I don't look as great as I should cause mark pushed me in the ocean about 30 minutes before our photographer got there so my hair was ruined for good. I still love how it came out tho.













Before we got engaged, Mark and I dated for a year. He actually proposed on our 1 year anniversary at the same restaurant we had gone on our first date.

This was our first picture together, not the best. most of our first few pictures where taken on film cameras so they are hard to post.














This was our first fall together, It was a great time in our relationship, around this time is when we decided that maybe we were meant for each other.For eternity (after 9-10 months together)




























Our first christmas together, a few weeks before this picture we had adopted Our dog buddy, We said that he was our love child and that if we could take care of a dog then we could get married, It's silly I know but we wanted to make sure. We love buddy, he is the best dog EVER!


















On our one year anniversary, Mark propose and he did it perfectly, but thats an other story. We forgot to take pictures that day, we were too excited and in cloud 9. But this is us in tour with our dance group, I believe this is the sacred grove, right after that we went to the DC temple.














We were engaged for 6 months before we got married. We got married June, 16th, 2006. It was a glorious day. Everything was perfect, even the rain that was coming down hard when we went in to the temple went away and we had a beautiful sunny day for pictures. We got married at the Salt Lake City Temple, or "the castle" how my non- member friends call it. We were suppose to get married in DC temple or the San Diego temple but they were both close that day
































This was our first picture together (after the wedding pictures ofcourse). We were in california where we moved after we got married. These were the most glorious days of our lives.


















A few months after we got married we found out Eko would be joining our little family. He was a BIG surprise but Now we can't imagine our lives without him.






























Eko was born on April 26th, 2007. This is us on june 16th, celebrating our 1 year anniversary with baby eko in wisconsin where we were living for the summer.




























A year later, It's us celebrating our 2 year anniversary in boston, Our favorite anniversary yet. It was perfect, romantic dinner at a 5 star restaurant, a walk around downtown boston including the washington garden, a movie and a walk under the stars, perfect!!!!
































After over 2 years married, we finally got to go on our honeymoon cruise to mexico, we were suppose to go to hawaii right after we got married but things came up and we never did. so last october we were able to go to mexico for a week and even tho we missed eko, we had a blast.












And this is us now, Our little family. this picture was taken last april 2009. Eko has grown a lot since then but kids never stop growing so thats ok. Our little family will stay a family of 3 for an other year or two for those of you that were asking. hehe


















And this is us yesterday, celebrating our 3 year anniversary, It was the end of the day at a theme park so we were tired, I will post the rest of our day at bush garden's later on the week.



















So over all we have had a great 3 years, There has been a lot of trials in our lives but working together and with the Lord at our side, we have been able to work through them. We love each other and are so bless to have so many great people in our lives. Thank you to all our Family and Friends for always being there for us. 3 years down and a WHOLE ETERNITY to go.
