Happy Anniversary to the man who has made my life complete!
Thank you for being you and thank you for helping me to become a better person. That is what marriage is all about. I cherish our friendship, our relationship and all the time we have spent together and will spend together.

Happy Anniversary! You are such a beautiful couple with such a wonderful family. And you both definitely deserve another vacation sans kids- one in eleven years just isn’t enough.

Hopefully some day we can add “+ 1 comfy house” to the equation. But, we have a lot to be grateful for. I can’t believe how much has happened since 1994. Helaman Halls seems like another lifetime now. Things seemed simpler then. But I couldn’t be happier, after so much effort, to have what we have now.
Thank you for all the happy memories.
Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary. I’m not far behind you in years, but way ahead of you in apartments and states.
Congratulations!

What a beautiful, beautiful tribute to your marriage. Congrats!

You two look like babies in those photos! Not that you look super old now…you know what I mean. Time certainly does move by quickly doesn’t it? But you two have accomplished a lot and are a wonderful example of a marriage involving two people who love, support and respect each other. Thank you for that.

I think this is the cutest anniversary post I’ve ever read, which perfectly fits because you two are such a cute couple.
Happy belated anniversary.

How awesome! I feel the same way about my family. It’s neat to think back on all the years we’ve had together and all we’ve accomplished. It’s amazing!
Take care!! ;0)

—And you made me so homesick posting that photo of the Los Angeles Temple! We started our marriage there, too.
