Heres to 11 years! WOW that is a LOOONG time.
When we got married I was 19 and Corey was 22 just home from his mission to Australia. We were married in the Manti, LDS temple. I was smitten from the first time I saw him. I know this sounds crazy , but once I was on a date at the restaraunt Corey worked at. We did not know eachother... but I saw him walk by me holding a try in his hand and it was like a movie sceene. you know the kind, when time goes really slow, and there is that romantic music and someone flips there hair a little sexy like...hahahah, serioulsy! it really happened and I thought..."I am going to marry him" then reality smacked me and I felt likean IDIOT, and then I thought "what the ... I don't even know him". I guess thats what you call love at first sight..... or something. but I guess I wasn't crazy cause he asked me out, and the rest is history. I can't beleive how young we were. We have struggled and had so many hard times and so many good times. I can not believe how much we have grown...together and as individuals in this time. I could not imagine that time without eachother. If I have learned anything about relationships it's that compromise is the key. Selfishness leaves no room for love. And it's o.k. to let the other person win sometimes. Some things are better left unsaid... Hugs and I love yous never get old, And always strive to keep that spark alive. Date, laugh, and do things together. I guess it doesn't always work, but it's worked for us so far. I feel like we have had a huge amount of stress and trials in the last 11 years. At times I wondered if we would make it...but in the end I can only say we grew stronger and learned to communicate better. What more could I ask for? I got lucky!
I know this is getting mushy so I will wrap it up!
To Corey,
Honey, I want to say that I got really lucky when we got married. Some people search their whole life for what we have. You are my perfect match. Even though there are those annoying things I say I can't stand, I know if they were gone I would miss them. You are as much a part of me as my beating heart, something I can't live without. You have given me strength when I didn't have any, Stability when I knew none, Understanding, and Love unconditionally. you have taught me to laugh, and dream, and sing. So thank you, I love you...and I know this is in a post on the blog for EVERYONE TO READ but get over it. it's just a little PDA!!!!
I can't wait for this next year together. wow 11 years kinda flew right by......
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY

Aww that is so sweet. What a romantic story. In your photos you really do look like you belong together.
Congratulations on the milestone
Congratulations, you guys! You are beautiful together!
Congrats you guys!!! 11 years is amazing. Here's to a lifetime of happiness together.
Congrats...and don't you just love those little things about each other that drive you insane but we still love them!!
happy anniversary! i didn't know you were married in manti - chris' great grandpa helped build that temple and he has lots of family in epraim!!
I love the story of how you met! And I'm sure it was the same for him - you're quite the catch yourself! =o)
I didn't read your letter to Corey - I just couldn't. Maybe that's why I don't want to read the Twilight series, from what I've heard. =o) Call me crazy. But I like what you wrote about commitment etc too. You're a great example.
Hi again - in response, I do like mushy stuff, just not other people's. I feel like I'm walking in on something that belongs to THEM. I HAAAAAATE kissing scenes in movies, even more now that I'm married. Weird huh.
I tried to read your letter this time - made it through the first sentence. =o) But don't get me wrong, I think it's GREAT that you wrote it, and I have done the same. I was just thinking about Twilight already, so sorry to bring it up. Thanks for your comment!
