October 24th

8 years ago today I was doing this...
That day I met one Crazy Pretty Lady who would become my "bosom friend",
I also met one very diligent Elder...

Then came a lot of personal growth...

Seeing many mighty miracles...

And making kindred friends for life...

Shortly after I fell in love with that diligent missionary...
and he became my diligent, wonderful, husband.

Then came these two monkeys...

...who I couldn't love more...
I am so grateful I was where I was 8 years ago today.
October 24th 2001 changed my life forever...

We are so grateful that you were where you were 8 years ago as well. It all started 8 years ago, the day we probably saw each other for the first time but didn't even know yet that we were sister districts, that we would serve in the same mission, that we would spent most of your mission in the same district, that we would become great friends, and that we would eventually fall in love.

Congratulations! That is so cool you actually met on your mission, that is a story. And you are such a good looking couple! With two seriously cute boys.

Has it been 8 years already? I'm so glad you served a mission and that our mission president saw it fit to put two clueless sisters together in a big, beautiful city. You are such a fun, beautiful, and awesome girl.

Isn't it amazing all the blessings that have come from being willing to serve the Lord? We are serving him and yet he gives us a hundredfold in return. It's hard to imagine a love that great.
