How Wife for Life Changed My Marriage

May 1, 2018

In July of last year, I wrote a bit about Wife for Life (the book and the University experience). I had just met Ramona for the first time in real life and wanted to share about how she had influenced my life for good over the past 9 months. And now here we are again,...

A few days ago, I recorded a video for my Instagram stories with some details about Wife for Life so I thought I would post that here as well in case anyone wanted to see/hear me talk about it in addition to reading about it on my blog posts.

12 years

Yesterday was our 12 year wedding anniversary. Since we just barely moved across the country, and also because our anniversary was on a Sunday, it was pretty low key this year. Jershon got some roses for me the day before. As I wrote about last year, for the past several years, on our anniversary,...

Best Husband in the World Day 2020

Yesterday was Best Husband in the World Day! What, you’ve never heard of this holiday before? That’s because I made it up. On April 16th, 2009, Jershon and I had been married for almost 4 months and I randomly decided to make a sign that said “Happy Best Husband in the World Day” to surprise...

11 Years

A few years into our marriage, I heard a about a fun tradition so I started it in our home. Every year since then, on our anniversary (December 20th), I greet Jershon in my wedding dress when he comes home. Yesterday was our anniversary so that’s what I did. This time I gave the camera...

Sweden/Denmark Trip: Keeper of My Dreams

This may or may not be the last thing I share about my Sweden/Denmark trip. I can’t make any promises. Haha. 🙂 Jershon is the keeper of my dreams. When I have a dream, he does all he can to make it happen. I’m so glad that I get to experience life with him.

The Gift of Time

Today was Father’s day. This is the letter that I wrote to Jershon… Jershon, I recently read a poem that made me think of you and put my own thoughts and feelings into words… A POEM FOR MY HUSBAND by Carol Mader While you work, you give us the most cherished of all treasures...

11 Year Anniversary of Meeting

The story of how we met, told by Jershon, to the kids, tonight while we were sitting by that same pool, in that same apartment complex, sharing a big bowl of “mac & tom.” 11 years. “One Sunny May… May 15, 2008, Mom was sitting right over there and I went to check the...

10 Years

Today marks 10 years of being married to Jershon. 99% of the crazy things that I have done over the past 10 years were Jershon’s idea that I (sometimes hesitantly) went along with. And 98% of the time, they ended up being awesome and I have been glad that I agreed, even if it was...

10 Year Engagement Anniversary

August 29th was the 10 year anniversary of when we got engaged. To celebrate, we went to the place where Jershon proposed – which is a fountain on BYU campus. We spent a lot of time at this spot when we were dating. A lot of hours, sitting on that bench, talking, and maybe some...

Fencing Date

Date night! This is what happens when Jershon takes the planning into his own hands… he buys a Groupon for a fencing lesson. ?This type of thing is definitely out of my comfort zone but we had a lot of fun. 🙂
