It all started......

...back in 2006, Jo was on the recovery from a relationship, someone she truly adored, and Darin was living his life looking for someone to share it with! We met, agreed to go out, and POW life as we knew it changed!!! We knew that first night that we were both in trouble, and it didn't take long for us to become inseperable. If you know us well, you look at our difference and think, what?!?! We are opposites! Well, it must be true what they say about Opposites attract, cuz we sure did! It was a whirlwind of a romance with short 2 months of dating before Darin proposed. A seemingly endless 2 month seperation during our engagement as we made the dreaded move from Logan to Vernal, and after an amazing trip to Las Vegas we were a Newlywed Couple! It was a small ceremony with wonderful family, and some close friends to witness the I do's, and then we had a very entertaining dinner afterwards. We will forever be greatful for those of you that took time out of your busy lifes to attend our wedding. It meant so much at the time, and as we take today to look back we want you to know that we still hold you very dear to our hearts, and appreciate your support.

At times the road for us has been rough, as we struggled to begin our life together, we had some things to work through, but as we have overcome those struggles, we have learned that if we lean on each other we have a greater strength than either of us ever thought possible!

So here's to 3 years and many more to follow! Happy Anniversary babe, I love you!!!



Although these pics were taken after only about 2 weeks of dating, they were simply just for fun, and not meant to look like engagement pictures! It was just a simple ride in the mountains, with a camera and a good friend in tow! We love & miss you Meg!



The proposal- Darin had a beautiful jewelry box made, had it engraved with Jo's name and the date, inside was a built in smaller wooden jewelry box just for rings with I Love you engraved, on the inside of that was the ring! Everyone but Jo knew what was going on, and I couldn't understand why everyone was tearing up as I opened this gift and why in the world was Darin sitting up to watch me open it? We were celebrating Christmas with Jo's family on New Year's Eve, seriously people, what was the big deal? And then she found the ring!!! Obviously, it didn't take Darin long to learn of Jo's love for jewelry, but he is SHOCKED when he opens that treasured jewelry box today and it's overflowing! Really, D Shocked why, you seen my habit back then?




Little Chapel of the Flowers in Las Vegas, Nevada did an Outstanding job for us. The pictures, the ceremony, the cake. It was absolutely amazing!!!





Outside on the Chapel's grounds, at the gazebo, a favorite picture of ours!

For those of you who didn't know us then or wasn't able to watch or attend our wedding, I tried to attatch the video but it wouldn't work, I apologize. The officiater was amazing and had some great words to share with us. It was truly touching, and we don't just feel that way because it was our ceremony, we have been told that numerous times since the wedding! Since Jo is always looking for a reason to celebrate, and thoroughly lives it up when there is something to celebrate, we are living it up! So, it's our Wedding Anniversary, but it's also the Anniversary to our family and close friends, that you are stuck with the pair of us. As much as some of you may not like it, it's the both of us, and we wouldn't have it any other way! ;)
