3 years and 2 kids later...

Dark haired boy.

Once there was a young girl, and she loved a red head boy.  Her red head boy was living very, very far away.  “There will never be another that can bring me happiness like my red headed boy”, she thought … but she was wrong.  One warm August evening, she met a handsome dark haired boy.  He made her smile and giggle, and forget about her red head boy.  At first she was so angry at the dark haired boy.  But it didn't take long before she realized she loved the dark haired boy more than she loved her red headed boy.  So, she ended things with the red headed boy, so he could find his own happiness- just like she had.

Working together

"Laughing" together.

The dark haired boy and the girl danced together, worked together and laughed together.  The more time they spent with each other the deeper their love grew and they knew they were meant to always be together.  One rainy September night the dark haired boy softly kissed the girl for the first time- the girl's heart soared.  Not long after that, on a rainy October afternoon, the dark haired boy knelt down on one knee and asked the young girl to marry him.  "Took him long enough." she jokingly thought.  An eager and extremely delighted "YES!!" was her reply.  Their engagement was a short one, only two months, a blink of an eye really.  Early in the month of December, in the Mesa temple, surrounded by dear friends and family, the dark haired boy and the young girl were sealed for time and all eternity.  

Their marriage was a joyful one from the beginning; filled with love and laughter and good food- mostly.  Soon, they learned they were expecting an addition to their small family.  The very last day of August, and the dark haired boy’s second day of school- it happened.  A chunky faced little boy came into their lives and changed everything.  They thought they had been happy before, but nothing compared to the joy of their son.  December came and went with the celebration of their first anniversary, and in August their chunky faced boy turned one.  A week later, to their delight, they learned they were expecting again.  Their second anniversary and the dark haired boy’s graduation passed, then in May their beautiful, bald baby girl was born.  The dark haired boy and the young girl’s happiness overflowed. 

Chunky faced boy

Beautiful, bald girl

Yet again, another anniversary has come for the young girl and her dark haired boy and their young family.  The beginning of another year to fill with memories of their chunky faced boy and beautiful, bald girl.

A special, “Happy anniversary!!!” to my dark haired boy- I love you forever AJ.
