Eighteen Years

Eighteen years ago, I was two weeks away from my eighteenth birthday.


My parents were not thrilled, but were coping with the fact that their baby girl was growing up.


My friends were a little worried and concerned-- and some were pretty freaked out!


Me? I was TOTALLY in love!



And while I was not nearly as mature as I thought I was,



I was excited to be eternally sealed to my One True Love.



And I still knew I was doing the right thing!


Thank you, Russell, for eighteen wonderful and adventurous years!

I love you!

  4. I will admit to being one of the concerned friends! I knew where I was at that time concerning marriage and I thought you were nuts! I knew you were happy though so that's what mattered! Glad to see you are still so happy! Congrats on 18 years!

  7. Congratulations! I'm so excited because I didn't think that anyone else had ever gotten married in the temple two weeks before their eighteenth birthday! I just read your post on LDH and I want to "talk" to you about TJED. My blog is tomena-growinlikeareed.blogspot.com (I was the guest writer who posted "More Than I Am"

  8. WOW! So, you were married two weeks BEFORE you turned 18? Am I getting this right? You had guts! LOL

    I was married 6 months AFTER I turned 18... not nearly as gutsy as you. ;) Although... we only dated for 4 months from first date to marriage, so I guess I was pretty gutsy, too. :D We've been married 21 years now. Congratulations to you!!!! :D
