Our Second Anniversary

Today John and I have been married for two years!! Two years!! I can hardly believe it. Time has just flown by. I never would have imagined to go so fast or for us to be where we are.

Two years ago, John and I got married in the LDS Billings, Montana Temple. It was a beautiful day even when my mother got me up at six AM to do my hair! I didn't get to see my fiancé at all that morning as we got everything ready and then started the four hour drive to Billings. I was certainly nervous as we got closer and closer to the temple. Not nervous about who I was marrying but about the ceremony. But as we reached the temple grounds my nerves disappeared and I knew I was doing the right thing. It was amazing and beautiful. And I am so glad for our temple marriage. 

Our first year of marriage was a little rocky. We lived in a very tiny apartment barely big enough for us to move around. We had little time between our wedding and John starting school. And having moved to Rexburg, we had no jobs and our future was uncertain. Our ward was judgmental to the fact that I was not going to school and instead working (which is ridiculous). We were unsure of where we were and what we were going to do. Life was crazy and nerve-racking. 

But our second year of marriage has certainly gotten better! We live in a very nice two bedroom apartment where we have actually housed Leisha and Jaren (at different time) while they were here for school. We love our ward and our fabulous bishop. We first stole my golden retriever from my parents and now we also have two little kittens. John works at Playstation Tech Support in Idaho Falls while I work in Rexburg at Upper Valley Vet Clinic as their sole groomer. 

We have been blessed tremendously even though Rexburg is not my favorite place. We thank our Heavenly Father for all that has come our way and ask for his guidance in this next chapter: Our Third Year!  

Happy Two Year Anniversary!!!!
