Once upon a time…
|14.Jan.2008Once upon a time there were two entirely different people, with two entirely different motivations for being in college, and with two entirely different methods of living out their lives.
By no choice of their own, these two entirely different people were flung together – an ill-fitted match if there ever was one – by their professor, Dr. Killingsworth.
By absolutely no knowledge or intent of their own, a spark ignited. Without Smokey the Bear present to squash the fire, it flamed into good old fashioned limerence, for love wouldn’t root in its truest form for years to come.
A marriage occurred between the ever classy dame…
…and her man.
Even before vows were shared they set about a plan to multiply.
And they did.
Somewhere along the way they developed a constantly growing, fabulously fulfilling, deeply enriching love.
And they’ve lived happily ever after.
The end.

Happy Happy guys, congrats….love, love, love the tongue sticking out picture!

Who said Fairy Tales only existed in the books we read?
Great photos!
SmockLady
Congratulations!
This is too funny: those books? after our engagement and before our wedding, we joined the Dr. Seuss book of the month club. My landlord (apt.) kept seeing these books being delivered as they wouldn’t fit into my postbox and I had to go to the office to pick them up. It was so obvious he kept looking at my belly to see if it was growing. HA! Fooled him. We were married almost one year to the date when we found out number one was on the way. We just hit 14 years on December 18th.
Great pics. And again, congratulations!

Aww, Dr. K! I love Dr. K! I had a class with his wife Dr. Palmer and we made and environmental website for class and he came and played his guitar and sang his environmental songs for us! He’s a nice guy. :) I’m glad he didn’t let you out of that group.

Kerflop's momma
I lurk over here once in a while because, like, I think I know you!! If your invitation had come to our house (with a picture) my husband and I would have said, “They’re a match!” Congratulations and happy anniversary!
kerflop
It’s true, they analyze engagement photos. In fact, my dad decided several times who he thought I should marry just because we looked like a match ;)
Happy anniversary (late!)
p.s. my font issues are showing up in this comment box so if this looks screwy when I post, that’s why.

Thank you and thank you some more! What a celebration.
And Kerflop’s momma…thank you too! Seriously, I’m totally flying into Salt Lake City when I go see Jess, Eric and the boys just so I can meet you!
