#6

For each day leading up to our 6th wedding anniversary, which is next Thursday, I am going to:
  • list one reason I'm glad I married Neil
  • post a random picture &
  • share a random fact about us

Reason:
We laugh together! A marriage void of laughter isn't a healthy marriage, in my opinion! Growing up when envisioning the qualities I wanted in a husband, the ability to make me laugh was always near the top of the list! And from the day I met Neil, I knew without a doubt he carried this quality. Whether it's over an inside joke, my absentmindedness, an old memory, our daughter, a classic line from a movie or tv show, or something we can't even explain, some of the best moments spent with Neil have been in the company of good, hearty laughter!

Photo:
This is the very first photo ever taken of us.

February 2002 - Chevy's Restaurant in Orem, UT, where we met as co-workers.

Fact:
Neil's very first gift to me was a Kim Anderson "Forever Young" water globe/music box that plays "Puppy Love" and has a boy handing a girl a rose. Neil gave it to me on our first Valentine's Day, less than a week after we'd started dating. Chloe loves it and frequently asks me to get it down from the shelf in her room to play the song and look at "Mommy and Daddy".
