10 years later…

We had dinner at The Roof, which is where Terry took me before he proposed. We had the neatest experience! The day we were married, Elder Dallin H. Oaks was also married the same day and in our room. It was taking so long they had to move our family to a different room in the temple. He passed us in the hall after his ceremony, and we thought it was so neat to see him! Fast forward 10 years, and who do we see at the restaurant? Elder Oaks!! He was there with his wife celebrating their anniversary. We told him the story, and he was so thrilled! I thought it was the coolest thing :)

Terry, simply put, you’re the best. In 10 years we accomplished all our goals that we set out to do. I made it through hygiene school, and you made it through pharmacy school. You are the hardest worker I have ever met. I am able to stay home with our boys because you work so hard for us. Our boys have such a wonderful father! I love you so much. I hope the next 10 years are as good as the last 10 have been!

Holy smokes, 10 years! Congratulations you guys. You look like babies in that first picture. Isn't it funny how much you change without even noticing.

Your story about Dallin H Oaks is very cool. What a funny coincidence and a great story to tell your kids/grandkids.
