I was shopping at Trader Joes and a young twenty something store employee stopped me, "Mam", she said, (Mam?? is she really talking to me? mam??) "where did you get your cardigan?" (now that's more like it) "LOFT" I answer. And she stares blankly--"you know, Ann Taylor's LOFT?" Still blank. So I instruct her where to find a store, and move along. So I have found my niche-my choice of caridigan color-still cool, my choice of store to purchase it at--only cool to those of us "Mams".

9 years ago
Today is my 9th anniversary. In today's world I think it counts as double that. Usually when I see people's wedding pictures I think they look like babies. Do we? I don't think so--I was 24 when we got married. I love all the details I remember:
My mom made my dress--I wanted a 3/4 length sleeve with a tulle skirt and no one made them then.
Hyrum wore a suit instead of a tux--loved that
Gerbera daisies were and are my favorite so I just a handful of those as my bouquet
My friend's grandpa did our sealing--a wonderful wonderful man
How the ladies in the Temple lost my hoop skirt for a while and ran around in a frenzy
We had chocolate covered strawberries at our reception because they are my favorite
The orange blossoms had just come out so the air was so sweet
How handsome he looked in his charcoal suit
It was a beautiful day
and now the cheesey part:
I remember how much Hyrum adored me--the way he looked at me, and treated me, and still married me after he was late to pictures because he forgot to bring my bouquet and had to turn around and go back to his house to get them and how I flipped on him. Poor lad. But he still went through with it.
Happy Anniversary to us.
And Hyrum, I love you.

Are you wearing checkered Vans?
Darling! You guys haven't aged a bit!
Happy Anniversary! It is crazy your dress looks just like mine, except I had cap sleeves (it reminded me of Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face). I also used Gerber daisies as my flower. CRAZY! Anyway I wanted to tell you that I found out yesterday that we are having a girl. I guess I will be able to use those clothes I got at your yard sale.
Happy anniversary!!! You guys are my model couple of what I wanted in my marriage....I think I got it this time around! :) Thanks for showing me what a real marriage is and to Hyrum for showing me what a real husband is....you two are a great example of love and anyone who knows the two of you can see that!!! And I have always loved looking at your wedding pictures! :)
Just to clarify, I love the checkered vans. It's a very nice touch. And yes, Hyrum does look like a baby. You look adorable, like a Raggedy Ann Doll... The SKA Edition.
