36 Years

Yesterday was Clint's parents 36 Wedding Anniversary. I am thankful that Clint's parents have stayed together so long even through all the hard times. It taught Clint that he can work through anything. I love his parents so much and am so thankful that they welcomed me into their family as willingly as they did. I fell in love with them before I knew I loved Clint. So to them I say Congratulations on 36 years!

Husband Tag

A) The rules are posted at the beginning. B) Each person answers questions about their sweethearts and post a picture! C) At the end of the post, the person then tags people and posts their names; then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know they have been tagged.

1. What is your husbands name? Clinton, or Clint
2. How long have you guys been married? A little over 5 years
3. How long did you date? Date...Well that depends, date before proposal or date before marriage. If it's date before the proposal it was a month 1/2 if it includes engagement almost 7 months.
4. How old is he? 30
5. Who is taller? I am, but only by a little
6. Who can sing best? I think we would both say we are equal on that.

I tag Heidi, Becky, Lindy and D to tell us about their wonderful husbands! (And anyone else who would like to also)

Fall in Utah

I LOVE FALL IN UTAH! The leaves changing color and the crisp air make me so happy. Here are some pics. that I got off of ksl.com. If you would like to view more pics go to their website. Some of them are AMAZING!

Snow

We got our first snow fall on Saturday. I think we got 3 inches. It's almost gone now and temps are back to 70's as of Friday. It has been cold though, below freezing in most areas. I think this winter will be very different than what we are accustomed to from Orem. The storm hardly brought anything to them, as far as I could tell. I was down there on Sat and Sun. I'm just grateful for heaters that work. I got this picture off of ksl.com. (Little Cottonwood Creek one day after our October 11, 2008 snow storm. This picture was taken at Tanner Flats Campground. - Photo Submitted by Tom Larsen)
