happy anniversary mer!

want a story? here's a great one...
mer and i have been together for 10 years now, 8 of them married.... it all began when we were 15... well, really before that, when joe (my brother) and jaclyn (mer's sister), began dating. we started checking each other out then, always asking about each other. then, in 1996 j&j got married... what a day... i have filmed evidence of merrill checking out my butt! each of us still asking about the other one...
fast-forward 2 years...
the end of our senior year, i am engaged but don't want to be... merrill is asking joe if he thinks mer can break-up the engagement... yup... i find out now that nobody really wanted me to marry the goof...
i don't want to marry him.
jacks invites me to lake powell to help cook and take care of little sisters (then little... what happened katie-buddie and kitty-cat?!?) and clear my head, figure out how i'm gonna do this...
needless to say, i left my engagement ring at home... i didn't want to lose it ;)...
magic happens on boats at lake powell!
i came home and broke it off.
october of the next year, we were engaged...
we were married april 5th 2000 in the salt lake temple... it was an awesome day!
and here we are, still a-goin'!
he was and still is the answer to my prayers...
some pics wouldn't load in my slide show (you're not the only one jacks...)
at j&j's house, right after lake powell...
me and mer at aunt peg's... grandpa thought we looked so cute... this was right before we got engaged, that's what we were talking about...ken and ______ wedding... (it's best if we not talk about _____...) engaged! october 15, 1999... g&g wallace's house...
and this last one is when we blessed lynn...
