Unusual but AMAZING!



Chris and I just celebrated our 11th Anniversary!
Instead of getting away for the weekend and going somewhere romantic, just the two of us, we went to our scheduled youth activity. We met at the church at 5pm on Friday night and with most of or youth and leaders, and we read the BOOK OF MORMON! We did it in 24 hours and 10 minutes. I have to say that I wasn't quite sure how this was going to turn out, but it was INCREDIBLE!! I loved every minute of it. Our youth were awesome and good. It was so worth it. I love the book of mormon. I love reading about our Savior. And I feel so blessed that I'm in Young Womens and Chris in Young Mens that we are able to spend this time together. What an awesome Anniversary. We are really tired but the spirit is burning strong in us. What a perfect weekend.
Thanks to ALL my family who sacrificed and watched our children.

That is definitely a unique anniversary. But it's amazing, isn't it?! I did that with three other friends when I was 18 and it was an awesome experience! What a great thing for all of the youth to experience!!!

Kirstin and Chris,

Happy Anniversary! We love you both so much! Each passing year, you remind of us of what a beautiful, loving marriage is. Elder Holland recently stated that 'Heaven wouldn't be Heaven without my wife and my children'. That statement so closely emulates the way the two of you treat and speak of each other.

We love you and are so grateful for the example you give us! May the next 11 years be even better...and the 11 after that, even greater.

Always,
Trish and the gang
