Five Years Down..... Eternity to Go


Last weekend we celebrated the five year mark. It is funny to think back to when we were teenagers, dating one boy for a year was a big deal. But now that we have been married for five years, it does not seem like that long. When you look at the big picture, it is nothing.



Looking back on the last five years is kind of fun. We realised that we have come a long way, and have been blessed. So here is my list of the top five things that we have been able to do.


1. We have two of the most wonderful kids. I love both of them so much. It is so hard and so rewarding being a parent. I would do anything for those two. They have taught me so much. They are perfect!

2. We have been able to travel. We have been to: Kauai, London, Paris, Chile, Costa Rica, Mexico, Chicago, and of course Utah. That has been really fun to be able to travel the world like that. We have been very blessed.

3. Changed jobs. Jeff started out working for a life insurance company. Then he moved over to Honeyville where he worked for his old mission pres. And now he is able to have to coolest job ever, working as a seminary coordinator and teaching institute. Each job has been great. Looking back we can see that each job change has been so good for our family.

4. We are home owners. We started out in a really really small studio apartment in Tustin. Form there we bought a condo in Tustin. And now we own a beautiful new home in Menifee. We feel so grateful that we have the spirit to guide us. I do not know how you can feel sure about a move with out the reassurance from the spirit.

5. We have had some really good times and really hard times. But.... we have grown up a lot. We are always being tested and growing. We have built a life together and have grown up together. I do not know where we will be in another five years, but the last five have been a fun ride.
