Five Years and Still Going Strong!

Who would have thought that this little boy....

....would fall in love with this little girl?

We've been married five years and we're still going strong.
Happy anniversary, Brandon! I love you!

One of our first dates was to the Magic Castle in L.A.

Hiking in the L.A. Mountains

Singles Ward 70's Dance

A trip to Venezuela to visit Brandon's mission.

In Hawaii with Brandon's family.

At the river with Aileen's family.

Going to the theater.

Clipper's Game

Rockin' at the Muse concert!

The Producers in L.A.

Christmas in Salt Lake City

Brandon always supported me in my dance career. I dedicated a dance to him called "You Raise Me Up".

I was one of Brandon's groupies, following him to all his band's gigs.

Brandon proposed to me at the Magic Castle (where we had one of our first dates).

Our wedding day (the happiest day of my life!)

Brandon wrote me a song and sang it at our reception, which was how he nabbed me in the first place. He wrote me a song while we were dating and sang it to me. I was putty in his hands!

Our Honeymoon in Cancun

Newlyweds!

A trip to Chile

Our First Anniversary

Washington D.C.

Brenna was born!

Alaska trip

We bought our first house!

Vacationing in the Bahamas!

Ethan joined our family!


As you can see, we've done quite a lot in the past five years. It has been an amazing journey and I'm so glad to have had Brandon by my side through it all. I couldn't ask for a better husband and father to our children. I love you more than the day I married you! I can't wait to see what the next five years brings us.

What a fun stroll down memory lane! Congrats on 5 years! OK so...
1. I'm pretty sure every boy has worn dad's brown polyester outfit for Halloween (Spencer wore it 2 years ago)
2. Brandon is BIG PIMPIN in that first picture. Please tell me DeeAnne kept that outfit so Ethan can wear it??!!

Happy Anniversary! However, I think you have some 'splaining to do. The date stamps on a couple of those pictures is in 1987. Hmmmmm. Does your VCR blink "12:00" too? or are you actually a lot older than you claim?
