Eight Years of Marriage

This month also brought about eight years of marriage for Jerold and I. We were married on March 10, 2001 in Mesquite. We "eloped" and invited all our families and brought the kids. My best friend Heather was also there. It was the funnest day. Kira was my Maid of Honor, Adam and Whit were Jerold's Best Men, my niece McKenzie was my Flower Girl and Alexis was my honorary Flower Girl(she was quite not 2 years old). We were married by the Reverend Johnny B. Love (that was his real name).

We spent the night in our wedding attire eating at the Oasis Buffet (I ate BBQ ribs in my wedding dress and did not get a drop on me. That was a surprise to everyone), playing miniature golf with our kids and my brother, video games, and having a great time. We went to San Diego for our honeymoon.

Here is a picture of our family then:

This photo also includes my brother Jason, my sister-in-law Angie, my parents Kevin and Dorothy and my father and mother-in-law Delmar and Shirley.

For our anniversary we went to my favorite Mexican restaurant in Salina called El Mexicano. It is soooo good. It is worth the almost 2 hour drive from Salt Lake to come and visit me to go eat there. We were going to go see "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in Gunnison but we did not want to rush dinner so we missed the movie. So seeing we were close to Richfield we called our son Whit to see what movie was playing there, it was not one we wanted to see. Well, I knew there was one in Ephraim, so we ended up driving all the way to Ephraim from Salina to see "Taken". But we had time to kill so we went to Paulie's Brain Freeze for an old fashion malt. They were yummy! Then off to the movies we went. The movie was great. I really recommend "Taken", it was full of action and it was suspenseful.
