3 Years and Counting...

So, Tuesday the 27th, Greg and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary! It's so crazy, at times it seems like we've been together so long that 3 years doesn't really seem that long. But it has been 3 years. Greg is the most patient, loving, spiritual, humble, thoughtful husband in the world (the list goes on and on...). He puts up with me when I'm moody (if I can get that far. He usually cracks some joke so I can't even be in a bad mood) and he is always thinking of things he can do for me. He's been such a wonderful husband, I only hope that I can be a wonderful wife for him. I love him so much! He's the best, and I really don't know what I'd do without him...Love you Greg!!!

Our story (my side, for those of you who don't know): We met October 2004 at Western Wyoming Community College. I had seen him walking around campus is in shorts, hoody, and a hat, but he was always looking down and never looked very happy. (haha) One night, Bridger Mackey (from cokeville) knocked on my door, and Greg and Marc (greg's roomie) were with him. They were going around door to door asking people if they wanted a kiss (then give them a hershey's kiss). I told them no, and we kinda talked for a while. then they left. I told tatum (my roomie, also from cokeville) that I thought Greg was cute, and she said she had a class with him, so she was going to invite him to the Halloween institute dance. Well, between her and Bridger they got him to go to the dance. I still remember what he was wearing...a kinda tight pink wrestling shirt, and the first time I ever saw him in jeans. He looked HOTT! :) I didn't' actually dance with him, because he just sat against the wall most of the time. but i did go over and talk to him once. It was only for a little bit, then he CLAIMS I 'ditched' him, when really I had curfew that night (volleyball). Well, I left for a few days, but when I came back, I had Bridger talk to him, and Greg eventually came to my room. He left pretty quickly because "his phone was ringing." So, we still hadn't talked much. He got my number and called me from the room right about mine...we talked for quite a while on the phone. I had a paper to type up, which I hadn't read the book for, so he offered to come down and "help." Pretty much he ended up writing the whole things. What a sweetheart, huh? He ended up staying in my room until about 5 in the am just talking and learning about each other. After that, we were pretty much together all of the time. I'd go to his room every evening and we'd stay up TALKING all hours of the night. My roommates used to make bets on what time I would come back...(Greg lived in the rooms right below mine and across the hall, so we were really close..) Anyway, I loved staying up late talking to him, and I still do. He is my best friend, and I would be lost without him. We were engaged December 21, 2004 (i'll tell that story another time) and married May 27, 2005 in the Logan Temple. 

So that's the story, onto some pictures.. (This is a LONG POST!! sorry!)


This is us when we first started dating (ha, note the shirts we are both wearing...haha)

Opinions....

Okay, so I need some opinions. I have been invited to a few baby showers lately, and I don't know what to get the mothers...I HATE buying gifts for that type of stuff, cuz I don't want to get them something they don't need or even want...so I was thinking...Is it a lame gift to give a gift certificate for like 25 free birth announcements? Or is that weird...Be honest...If it's lame, give me some ideas! haha...but really be completely honest and let me know what you think..THANKS!!!

Hogle Zoo

So, today Greg surprised me with a trip to the zoo. I LOVE going to the zoo. I know that sounds funny, but I really do. Last night when we were getting ready for bed I was trying to decide what time I should get up for school. He told me I shouldn't go, and when I asked him what time he was going to wake up he said 6:45. Of course I didn't believe him. That's so early!!! He just said he had a lot to get done today. So, I knew he had something planned. We really did get up at 6:45, left here at 7:30, and ended up at Hogle Zoo. He's such an awesome husband! I love him so much! He's always thinking of things to do for me...He's just so sweet! It was such a fun day. We were there for about 3 hours. It was a nice day too...It was cloudy, so it wasn't way hot. He wanted to go now hoping there wouldn't be a ton of people, and little kids...Well, we were lucky for about 20 minutes, then a bunch of elementary kids showed up on a fieldtrip. Haha...It's okay, we both had a lot of fun. It was such a good day! What a great husband I have!!!

Anyway, here are some pics!

This is a baby alligator...(in case you were wondering!)

This is an elephant...
These are some pretty cool frogs...ya know, the only bad part was taking pictures through the glass...it's okay, this one still turned out surprisingly well...
I love giraffes. I think they have the coolest patterns...and I thought it was way funny the way this one was standing...
I believe this is a meerkat, or however that's spelled...It got up right against the glass so I could take its picture
This is a dead mouse...in the owl's cage....
Ever seen 'Snakes on a Plane?' Yeah, they totally creep me out..
We went to the cat show, with about a million elementary kids...I was really hoping they would bring the tiger out in the little area where the trainer was...but no, they had to keep it behind a cage..Weird, huh? I think tigers are such neat animals...

This one reminded me of Brady....he used to love wolves...haha..so here's to you brother
Here's Greg observing the...Rhino's maybe? I don't remember....
Here he is again...he's so handsome isn't he?
And last but not least....Here we both are at the end of our day. Thanks Greg for making today a good one. I love you!!!
(don't mind my hair please...lol)
