20 Years

Well, happy anniversary sweetheart. 1999 - 2019. It started with a kiss around 2 am on February 19, 1995. True story: I came home that night, looked at a calendar, calculated time for us to serve missions, and then wrote in my journal that we would be married on Feb 19, 1999. And then we were!
"Started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss!" Here are a few of the great things about these past 20 years:

12 kids - JMEHWALSNODP

We've started to often identify and refer to our children only by their first initial when we're typing or texting each other. But I guess they are probably the most important things that have come out of our marriage, so I could/should probably list them by name? Ok... here's each kid with one of my blog posts featuring a favorite memory of pictures/video of them:
