One year ago this week my life changed forever. I met the love of my life and the most beautiful woman in the world! Debbie and I talked on the phone for a full week before we met face to face. June 21st last year we met, the earth shook and time stood still for us as our lives changed before our eyes.
I blogged a whole story about when we first met a while back. Here is the link
It has been the most incredible year for Debbie and I. We have traveled, played and have had so MUCH FUN! I thought I would put together a scrap book blog of sorts. Come with me down memory lane for the last 12 months as I relive these experiences for our blog.
Our very first date on June 21st 2009 up Cub River. I was in awe.... still am to this day!
We were having so much fun together right away that on the 24th of June we decided that I was going to San Diego with her for a few days while she worked. July 6th we flew out, went to the beach, a Padre's game and fell in love. Wow was I falling hard at this time. What great memories Debbie. Remember the hour before I flew out? ;) That Friday we went to the Journey concert at the Usana Amphitheater... great times!!
In late July we had almost all of our kids together (less Sarah plus 1 of Brock's friends) and we went to Park City for a night and had so much fun. We went on the rides down the hill, had a great dinner and played games in the pool that night. Debbie attempted to make pancakes in the motel that morning... haha... they tasted great. At this point, not only was I in love with Debbie but her kids as well. Our kids all got along great. Before this trip I knew where Debbie and I were headed but this trip topped it off and sealed the deal for me. What a great family.
I took Jordan back to Sheridan after a quick visit and Debbie went with us. She read us an entire book in the 8 hours of driving that day. That weekend my good friends Steve and Des Marosok had a back yard party with all of the old softball friends. My friends fell in love with Debbie. Who wouldnt.. heh
Around the first week of August, Debbie had a business trip to Sun Valley so Brock, Tay and I went with her. We went early to go to Red Fish Lake for a day or two. Maybe some of you remember the blog about this trip. Sun Valley Blog We stayed at some hippie convent and was quite the experience. I LOVE this place and cant wait to be there in August with Debbies family.
Redneck waterslide at the hippie convent!! 
Another concert at the Usana Amphitheater. Jack Johnson I think is who it was. Good Beer!

On August 23rd last year we went on a hike to Cub River to the place of our first date. I asked Debbie to marry me on that very spot where the river begins. I still swear she never answered me but her actions and reactions told me YES!!! lol
A day at the cabin at the river bottoms. It started raining and Josh was driving the truck and it slid off the road just before he climbed out of the bottoms. So we all head down and pushed the truck out while Cass drove. As soon as Cass hit the gas a roostertail of mud hits Taylor square on from her toes to the top of her head.... hahah... Debbie got it from the other tire. I never laughed so hard in my life.... my hell that was funny. All we heard was a scream and looky what we saw!!
Debbie lost her dear friend Jan around this time. Devastating!! I felt so bad during this whole situation. God bless her family.
We bought our home in Kaysville in September, cleaned it up and put some carpet in there then moved in the end of October. Had we known our family was going to shrink we wouldnt have bought a 5 bedroom home. Oh well.... we love the space. Debbie did a fantastic job of decorating... I love it!

One of our favorite meals as a family.... I think its called a crab boil but we usually use shrimp and a few other fishy things. Oh man this is SOOOOOOOO good!!!!!!
My BEAUTIFUL bride!!!! I married the woman of my dreams on 10-10-08 in Kentucky. My Dad married us.... what a blessing. I am still so in love with this awesome woman!!
Our first Christmas together! I finally found out what all of those boxes were for that filled up half the moving van. It was Christmas decorations. Box after box after box. I love how Debbie is so into Christmas and decorations. She truely made this a special holiday and so much fun. Beautiful Christmas trees and Christmas village.
Nolan and Peggie's (Debbie's mom) Wedding. That was a great experience to know they have found love too. I love you guys!
Sarah came to visit us this winter and Debbie said "lets go to the hotpots!!" So we all hopped in 2 cars and drove through a HUGE blizzard over the mountain and through through the woods and came to this little slice of heaven. We sat in hotpots while it snowed HARD!! This was so cool I cant even describe it. Obviously, we were the only crazy ones there.... haha
We finally went on our honeymoon in Janurary to Cozumel Mexico. An absolute dream come true for me. I have been to Mexico before but nothing even comes close to this trip. We had so much fun touring the island and goofing off...... Debbie I am ready to go back......
Since we cant have kids we decided to get a dog... oh man did we ever get a dog. She is so cute and Debbie loves her to death. I love her... just not that much... haha. She is a great part of our family. 
Debbie had to go in for major reconstructive surgery. After breast cancer over 10 years ago she had a leaking implant and some other issues the doctor had to clean up. 150 stiches later I take her home and took care of her for a few days. This was a big big deal and I hated to see my wife in so much pain. 
This Spring we took Brock and Cass to Moab. "Lets hike to the famous Arch!!" so we hiked up this mountain of Rock I think it was about 50 miles uphill....... my good lord... It was way worth the hike but dang if you ever want to do this hike take LOTS of water and dont go when its hot out. I dont know how we would have made it had it been in the summer. Fun fun trip though. 
This Easter we had almost all of our kids again. Josh was not there he went to Vegas to party on his Birthday. So Debbie took us all skating. Honestly, I have not been skating in 30 years haha... what a blast. Taylor, Jordan and Sarah all came to visit. I miss them.
Well that is it in a nut shell...... so many experiences all year that its not possible to put them all in one blog.
Debbie I love you more now than ever. You are the light of my life and I am soooooo looking forward to the rest of our lives.
