6 Years ago....

Today is our 6 year anniversary!! Holy Smokes.  I'm so grateful to be sealed to Shaun and that we have 2 beautiful, yet wild children.  I know you all know that we first met back in 1st grade 21 years ago. Can you find us in this picture?? Answer below.



Shaun: Top row- blue shirt
Leah: First on the 2nd row

Shauns family moved into my ward when we were 12 and our friendship really took off from their. We were best friends all through Highschool. I actually have Shaun to thank for my "girlfriends". Our freshman year Shaun had a New Years Party and that is when I met Natalie, Heather and Megan and the rest is history.

Shaun and I May 2003- Engagement pictures

December 2003- Our first Christmas


It is kind of funny because Shaun and I have more things NOT in common than in common. I love camping, boating, riding quads and Shaun really doesn't care for it. Shaun LOVES movies and I watch maybe 3 a year. My favorite food is Chinese and Shaun's is Italian. Shaun wants to watch any and all sports and I could care less. The list could go on but in the big picture those things are not important. What is important are the few things we DO have in common which is our love for the Gospel and our Family.  Shaun and I do have one other thing in common and that is our funny side. Everynight after both of us are finished up with work or whatever we watch something funny together. We laugh at the same jokes and love to rewind funny parts and laugh till we hurt. 

Captain Hook and Wendy (our kids were Peter Pan and Tinkerbell)


Shaun also goes along with my crazy ideas. Cinco de Mayo


What can I say I LOVE this man.  We balance each other out perfectly. He is a saver and I'm a spender. Shaun is way more disiplined than I and is slowly teaching me self control. I'm alot more flexable about things in life and Shaun is learning to loosen up . Thank you for 6 fun fun years and I know that their are many more laughs to be had!!!!

Thank you Leah for your sweet words about our marriage. I left you a nice little note this morning saying "Happy Anniversary" and you made me a website! Nice showmanship. I don't know if I can compete with that. Well maybe I can if I hire the cast of High School musical to come and do a singing telegram to you....you better answer the door when they get there!

Aww, you two are so cute! I had to laugh at the engagement picture and your ever so carefully placed hand, displaying the ring! Haha :) It is funny how different you are and yet you have a great marriage. I love you both. Any man that loves my Leah is a friend of mine! :) Oh, and what's this about your favorite food being CHINESE!! What the #%*&! You are a traitor to the Mexican yumminess! :)

What a cool story... to say that you knew each other in grade school. That must have been funny, when you guys first figured that out.

Happy Anniversary!! You are so dang pretty Lee-Lee! :)

You guys make an awesome couple, even if you are opposites in many ways (we are too... maybe you and I can set our husbands up in hotels and we can go camping sometime, my parents have a houseboat at Powell!) :)

Cheers to happy a 6 years... may there be decades of more happiness to come (imagine clinking glasses here)!! You guys ROCK!
