Choose your Love, Love your Choice

Marshal and I have been married for 12 years ....sheesh....that makes me feel old! When we met, he was playing college basketball and I just started the nursing program. One of my friends on the team set us up on a blind date, and we literally haven't been apart since. He is my best friend for sure. Anyone who reads this knows marriage isn't all bliss and roses but our marriage has become strong over the years as we have learned to be fiercly loyal to each other, to try and always put the others needs above our own, and to always make time for DATE NIGHT. Below is our HALLOWEEN COSTUME PARTY - sadly yes I am a beach bum but we did win best costume!

There are 5 other couples in our ward that we have date night with once a month. Some of the dates we have done this past year are snowmobiling in Isand Park, Swimming, Bowling, dinner and movie, and a Wii Just Dance game night which was very very very funny seeing grown men try to get their dance moves on. Marshal pictured below isn't happy unless he gets to the top of the tallest mountain...:/ I prefer the trail!

Bowling with friends: Marshal thinks being TALL gives him a 1 up on everyone:)

Making time away even just once a month always reminds us why we fell in love in the first place. The JOKE at our house is Mom is the "chief" and dad is the "little Indian". However we all work really hard to help each other out and at the end of the day we say our nightime prayers and a little I love you.
