Got the Seven Year Itch???

Ashley and Jacob have lived in wedding bliss for seven years. Ahhhh! It was a cold November day and Ashley wore flip flops under her beautiful gown. She did it the Hawaiian way. It was suppose to be a Christmas wedding but Jake was on the Army's list to be deployed to Bosnia so the wedding was moved to the day before Thanksgiving. Ashley and Jake flew in from Hawaii and were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. We had the reception, went to bed, got up and watched them open presents then off to Eagar we went. Our Thanksgiving dinner was a memorable one...we ate in Moab at Denny's at 9:00 at night. They were out of everything so we ate things like,grilled cheese sandwichesand split pea soup. I just wanted a dinner salad which ended up being iceberg lettuce with a few carrot shreds in it. They ran out of salad too! The reception was fun inEagar. The next dayoff they went back to Hawaii. It has been a whirlwind adventure ever since.

Top Seven Reasons Why We Love Them:

1. Sydney and Brooklyn of course.
2. Ashley has someone besides Rachel to fight with now.
3. Jake has found that it is different living with 1 wife than 5 brothers.
4. They work hard at being great parents.
5. Never a dull moment when they are around.
6. Always generous and thoughtful except for when playing games.
7. Because they are going to give us eight granddaughters!!!

We love you both. We are glad that you found each other. May you live happily ever after with your princesses.
