Our 6th Wedding Anniversary Today!

Ty and I have been together for 8 years now, married for 6. We started dating when I was 16 and he was 17. I had a crush on him growing up. We attended the same elementary for awhile and were what you'd call boyfriend and girlfriend a couple years prior before he asked me out. We were young young so it lasted a week. I was a cashier at McDonalds here in Payson when he walked through the doors one morning around 9 a.m. I wanted to run for cover, even if it risked my job. I was beyond embarrassed. The hottest kid EVER is going to be coming up to me and I am going to have to say "Welcome to McDonalds, may I take your order?" LOL I wanted to DIE! LOL I smiled of course I couldn't help it, I had butterflies..at the end of the order he had asked for my phone number. I replied with "No, I have a boyfriend and I don't think he'd like that." His reply "I don't care what your boyfriend thinks." (with a grin) So I told him I'd see how things went that maybe I'd see him around. He lived in Goshen at the time and conveniently so did my sister. :) SO....couple months later I had started to hang out with Tyler. Slowly but surely not talking to the boyfriend I had at the time. Hadn't broke things off yet but planned to. Ty did it for me one day when the boyfriend had called to talk to me LOL HILARIOUS! Good riddens boyfriend. So then began our LOVE STORY! 

We started officially dating in September 2003 found out we were pregnant 2004 on November 6th, Callen was born June 16th 2005 and we vowed to spend the rest of our lives together on October 15th, 2005. Sure it has been a BUMPY road. We've had our fair share of trials along the way, but I believe it made us stronger. If you can get through what the two of us have been through you can make it through anything else. I LOVE him so so much! I always think of how he stole my heart, how we spent practically EVERY day together. I'd call him in the morning when I got to school. He'd be leaving for school. He'd pick me up from school and we'd hang out at his house most the time until it was 9 and he'd take me home, we'd cuddle in the truck for a bit as if it was going to kill us to be apart for the night and wake up and do it all over again. 

We grew up together...Not many are as lucky as us. If I went a day or longer without seeing him it made the wait almost unbearable. I'd run and hug him and kiss him. I am so happy that I fell in love with him. We talked about getting married when I graduated from high school. As you all know we were blessed with a little boy WAY SOONER than we expected, in my heart i believe everything happens for a reason. He saved Tyler's life. If there ever is a day that I feel as if we just aren't getting enough quality time together then I just travel back in time 6 years ago and remember how we fell in love, how almost every waking moment of my day was either spent with Tyler or talking to him on the phone. How he used to hold me and kiss me and tell me that he loves me and it somehow makes everything okay. Our life gets a bit crazy and we don't get to spend them how we used to but we love each other even if we don't get to show each other as much as we'd like. I am so blessed to have him. We have a beautiful little family, 2 adorable kids with the cutest personalities and a home of our own that we build together with our bare hands...Thank you Tyler for vowing to spend this wonderful life with me.
