The Last 12 Years

Saturday we celebrated our 12th Anniversary. We spent the day tiling our fireplace hearth (which I just need to grout and then I will take some pictures) and then went out to dinner. I have been thinking about all that we have done in the last 12 years and came up with a list of a few fun things.

We have lived in 9 homes (2 of them we owned).
We have moved 12 times and lived in 4 different states (Utah, Vermont, Colorado and Idaho).
We have lived in 8 different wards (some multiple times) and 1 branch.
We have owned 5 cars and driven several work Land Rovers.
Between the 2 of us we have had 15 plus jobs since our wedding and countless callings in the church.
We have been to 36 out of 50 states. And have gone fishing in 18 of those states.
And we have had 4 kids in 3 different hospitals.

Kind of fun! Here are a few random pictures from the above mentioned list.

Our house in Idaho after we painted it for our landlord
Our current, awesome home in Grantsville
In the hospital in Idaho after Corban was born
In the hospital in Ogden after Quincy was born
We have had so many fun memories over the last 12 years and look forward to many, many more years ahead together! I wonder what the next 12 years will bring? I know there will be a lot less diapers involved! :)

Congratulations on 12 years. I LOVE the first photo of your husband and you. It's so tender and fun at the same time. You two sure have had a lot of jobs!

I can't believe it is only 12 years!! Haven't you always been married? I loved this one! Grandma and grandpa enjoyed it too!
Thanks Erie
