Our 3 Year Anniversary

October 8, 2005, Jordan and I were married for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. What a wonderful day! (even though it rained!!)

I remember going to the sealing room, and Jordan and I ran into Elder Dahlin Oaks in the elevator. He was much taller than I had expected :) He shook both of our hands and said congratulations. That was really cool. I'm sure he does it with everyone, but still cool :)

Then we had the honor of being sealed by a longtime family friend, Elder Joe J. Christensen of the Seventy. He performed a really beautiful sealing, although I feel so badly that I don't remember ANY of it!! If only I had blogged back then! I would have blogged my whole wedding, including what he had said.

All I know is that I cried a lot as I knelt at the alter with Jordan, thinking about how happy I was to marry such a wonderful man, and what an amazing blessing it is to be sealed for eternity in the Lord's house. We are so blessed to have these truths.

Since then, I have learned so much from being married, and been able to truly see the way it has changed me as a person. I have also seen it in my husband, as we have become more selfless, more charitable, and more aware of what is really important in life.

To take my wonderful brother, Nathan's advice, I will list 3 things about Jordan that I love and mean a lot to me:

• Jordan has a very sweet and sensitive way about him. He always strives to help, serve, understand, and love others. He is a wonderful example to me of charity.


• Jordan is very playful and fun to be with. He always makes me smile and laugh. I am so excited to see him as a father--I know he will be amazing with our children.


• Jordan has a very sincere testimony of the gospel. My first inkling of this was when I first heard him say a humble prayer--every time he prays with me, I feel of the conviction in his words and the intent desire he has to follow the Savior. And through his actions, I know this to be true. He truly is a wonderful man.

Lastly, I just want to say that I love you, honey, and that I'm so grateful to be married to you. You always make me feel loved, and I appreciate your quiet example...I want to be a better person because of you. You truly make up for what I lack. I love you so much.
