13 YEARS!
Who would have thought 13 years ago that we would be were we are today and that we would have loved every minute of it! I look back on all that we have been through, all the we have done, have accomplished and it brings back such amazing memories. 
Kevin is truly the love of my life. When we met, it was pretty much a done deal. I was in a Women's Chorus concert and Kevin was in the audience on a double date. After the concert, a mutual friend introduced us. Kev was a nice guy. I remembered his smile and beautiful teeth. About a week later, he tracked me down in the library we began to get better acquainted studying pretty much every single day. You could always find us on the 2nd floor pretending to study and trying to find new and creative ways to ditch a "friend" of mine who was determined to stay in the picture. Finally, on the day before the semester's end, Kevin asked me out! Great 6 hour date: pizza, walk to the ice cream parlor, movie: Deceived with Goldie Hawn, and then of course we talked forever. During Christmas Break I thought about him quite a bit and got excited any time I saw a Wyoming license plate! When my mom asked what his last name was, all I could say is "it's some really weird name!" Christmas break ended and I hoped he would remember me. Yup he did, first phone call ended in a date and we were inseparable from then on!
I never knew someone who could make me feel so loved, confident in myself, happy, grateful, and overall joyful! We knew each other for five months before he finally asked me to marry him! Three months after that we were married: August 1st 1996.
Our lives have taken us all over. We've live in four states, traveled to 27 National Parks, about 12 Major Amusement Parks all over the country, adopted two wonderful stray cats!, I've held 6 mostly fun jobs, Kevin has worked in 3 different practices, bought a home, bought and remodeled an optometry practice, loved life, read books together, cooked too many desserts to count, hiked hundreds of miles, caught at least 1,000 fish! (Kev would say more of course), oh yes, and had the most adorable little boy you could ever imagine! I think you could say that our lives are full and we couldn't be happier.
Thank you Kevin for 13 wonderful years! I LOVE YOU!

Congratulations! You guys are doing great! The Lord must look down on a beautiful family like yours and smile. We enjoyed seeing the pictures of the various parks that you've been to. I'm especially jealous of the picture of you at Telluride. I've alwasy wanted to go there. If I ever get an employment opportunity in Durango...we're moving there. - Rob
