FLASHBACK!




Brock and I met in November of 1991. It really was love from the very first time we met. This first picture was taken in front of my parents home. Brock and I had taken a trip to Farmington, NM so that Brock could meet Mom and Dad. I remember that Brock was so nervous! On our way into town we had to pull over so that Brock could take a few deep breaths and stretch his legs before meeting my parents. Don't we look so '80's in this picture. Me with my big hair and eyebrows. Notice that little thing I used to do with my belt. Brock was always dressed nice and conservatively. My little brothers asked me if Brock ever wore tennis shoes. I thought that was so funny!

We got engaged in April of 1992. It was such a beautiful day! We went to Salt Lake City to attend General Conference. Brock proposed to me near the temple grounds after we had eaten a picnic lunch. He had the ring, was on bended knee, and was very nervous and sweet. We were two of the happiest people on earth.

The last picture was taken on our wedding day outside the Salt Lake City Temple. We look so young and innocent! We had so many hopes, dreams, and expectations of what our life would be. We truly have been blessed. After four children, a few moves, and several jobs, we are still hoping and dreaming. The only difference is that I have a lot of gray hairs, and Brock has nearly gone bald. We have certainly learned and grown over the last 16 years.

What I like is the height of the waist on those peg-legged pants! So classic. You do look like a couple of kids. Good thing you kids knew what you were doing, you are such a great couple!
