Thirty-seven years ago today, Scott and I got married in the Provo Utah Temple. He had proposed to me one year before on April 15 and it took me 5 months to say yes. It wasn't so much about him as it was about me feeling ready. I now see that decision to marry Scott in the temple as one of the best ones I have ever made. That's not to say it has been easy. We've had ups and downs like everyone. But we have both stayed committed and over the last 37 years, we've arrived at a really happy place. Our marriage has become a solid foundation for my life. Here are 37ish pictures for 37 years. It was interesting to see how pictures of just the two of us together became almost non-existent in the days before selfies. 2026: 2025: 2024: 2023: 2022: 2021: 2020: 2019: 2018: 2017: 2016: 2015: 2014: 2013: 2012: 2011: 2010: 2009: 2008: 2007: 2006: 2005: 2004: 2003: 2002: 2001: 2000: 1999: 1998: 1997: 1996: 1995: 1994: 1993: 1992: 1991: 1990: 1989: 1988:

It's a new temple. It reminded us of the Lindon temple which will be opening the week after our anniversary. After the temple, we went down the road to eat at the "Hug-hes Cafe". I ordered the prime rib special with salad and green beans and Scott ordered the Braised Short Ribs that came with mashed potatoes and green beans. It was a lot of food and reasonably well-cooked. After dinner, we drove to Ogden Canyon and stayed at a place called "Alaskan Inn and Spa" which was over-priced for the quality of room we got. However, we enjoyed our time together there.
