On Friday, Jon and I will be married for 5 years, and I can't even believe it. Here is our story in pictures:
I was a lifeguard, working at Reinhart, tan and skinny as can be.
I also drove a scooter-which is particularly bizarre in Idaho.
Jon played guitar, and had a band. He's playing here with Curtis at Curtis' Wedding.
Jon cut weeds...which gave him some sweet are muscles. Oddly enough, he also drove a scooter in Idaho.
Jon and I met on May 17, 2004 in our Institute class. I like him right away. He had cool pants, I had cool shoes, and we both drove cool scooters...it was magic. The first time we hung out, outside of class was at a party where the above pic was taken. We had our first date on July 28th and our first kiss on August 7th...right before I was about to leave for school...
The first time Jon came to St. George to visit me we went to Sand Hollow. I had fallen for him, but run off to St George anyway, and he promised he would visit every 2 weeks.
He kept his promise and moved down in December of 2004. We went to California...and In-n-Out...
We got married March 12, 2005 in the Idaho Falls Temple. I wore chucks, and Jon's cool socks had orange and blue stripes-once again we are very fashionable...
Our reception was organized chaos...and quite the party.
We lived in "the stilts" and I am happy to say we are no longer there...
Thankfully during our time there our decorating got better and better but when we first moved we had a random assortment of armed chairs, a hideous loveseat (pictured above with the material covering it) and my grandparents old couch (they died, it was passed on to us and we still have and love it!)
Any excuse to go to California, and we go!
This was the first family pictures taken with Jon as part of the "Clark Family"

You'll notice my hair color change a lot through the years...

Washington County Fair-they wouldn't let me go on the rides because of "my condition." Just because I was 9 months pregnant!

I love this man! I don't remember my life without him, but it seems like we were just married yesterday! Five years has gone by so fast, and I am so grateful to have him with me through all of them. I love to look at Paisley and think of her as a product of our love...she is and she's the best thing we have to show for all these years :)
