After 14 Years...

Yesterday was our 14th wedding anniversary. Oh, how the years go by so quickly. I remember the first time I had a "conversation" with Randy. We were both attending BYU and happened to be in the same ward. We had our Sunday sacrament meetings in the Joseph Smith building auditorium. On our first Sunday I was sitting with all of my roommates. Towards the end of the meeting I kept feeling someone touching/petting my hair. One of my roommates slyly looked behind us and told me that the guy sitting behind me was pulling on my curls. At first I tried to ignore it, but finally I turned around to confront him and there was Randy and his roommate Mark grinning. Mark was emphatically pointing at Randy. Randy laughed, shrugged and said, "It just looked so soft." I blushed and said, "Thanks." Then they got up and left and I left with my roommates. And that was the beginning.

Snow Day

Last Saturday night it started to snow and we told the kids that we might not be going to church the next day if there was too much snow. Sure enough, the next morning at around 7:30 Gavin came running into our bedroom yelling, "It's snowing! It's snowing! Can I go out and play in it?" By 8am both Gavin and Chloe were out in the snow having a blast. The snow was to dry to pack into snowballs, so instead they slid down our hill on their tummies like little penguins. Gavin loved rolling around in the snow and pretending to fall asleep. When Randy and I joined the kids out in the snow Gavin decided it would be funny to throw snow at me even if he couldn't make it into a snowball. Chloe made snow angels all over the yard. Randy pulled the kids around on the sled until their cheeks and noses were bright red and they were ready to come in for some hot chocolate. We had a fun day together out in the snow. At the end of the day Gavin said, "I like snow days."
