2 Years and Counting

2 years ago I moved to Salt Lake City upon request of Mr. Jason Keetch, the man I was dating at the time. I packed up and left Phoenix Az at 6 am went for a 12 hr drive with my 3 little kids (with help of my awesome brother) and arrived in SLC on June 15th 2007 at 6 pm that evening.
3 weeks later on July 4th 2007 during the grand finale of the Murry, Utah fireworks Mr. Keetch asked me to marry him, exactly 10 days later we were married. With a kid on the way, 1 dog, 3 very much older and mature girls and a now furnished house, here we are!


(I want to point out that Keetch is tearing up, too sweet!)

Lets face it. Those who know me best know what a simple person I am, perhaps, maybe a little too simple. I don't like big ordeals. I don't like the attention, the money spent, the stress. So when it came time to planning a wedding, uh, I went into a..can we get married in a year or so when I have everything figured out mode. I knew I loved Keetchy and I just simply wanted to be married to him. We emailed our bishop Friday evening and we were married that Saturday (July 14th) afternoon. To me that is how you get it done. No long hours planning, no invites, no stinkin' wedding dress, no food or cake or even flowers, in fact I can name off the top of my head who attended our wedding..James and Tosha Cordova (Tosha was the photographer..thank you Tosha) Rick and Krista Davenport along with new born baby Hannah, Grandma Sue and Brianna, Tatum and Alyssa and that's it.

The best part about our simple wedding was we got married in our current house. We have no plans on leaving this house and every time we walk into our living room we are reminded of our simple day and how happy and excited we were to just be married at last.

The girls were so excited for us as well. Right when it was over they ran and gave us the biggest hug. They knew we were happy and they were happy for us.

We ended our day with a fancy dinner at an Italian Restaurant and a overnight stay in Down Town Salt Lake. I thought it was a very special wedding. Our room was gorgeous and yes I have to include this because we had "robes" in our room, we couldn't get over the fact that we had our very own robes. Now that's spending the evening in pure Luxury! I also recall being very excited to go to Transformers that evening...so funny!

We are now working on our Temple sealing in the near future. yes Keetch, I am expecting you to take me to the temple. Maybe I will plan something big and extravagant then...We will see.. As for now Happy Anniversary!
