Happy Anniversary Joel! It is our 8th anniversary. I can't believe how fast time flies! I have to say that I have really loved these years w/ Joel, my best friend. He has always been there for me. We met at Ricks. We went on a camping trip for 5 weeks w/ the college to get science credits. We camped along the Oregon coast, Salmon, ID; Yellowstone National Park, and a few other places. I have to thank Melissa Eagen that I even met Joel because she conned me into this trip when I could have gone to Sydney Australia w/ my parents! Then she backed out the last minute!!!! Thanks a lot Melissa!!! Anyways, I still went and met Joel. He was the hairiest guy I have ever met!!! Okay maybe not, but that was my first impression. Joel was always making people laugh and goofing off, so when we all were having a serious conversation one night, I was surprised at how much more in depth he was. He is so knowledgeable. I love that he can talk to anyone because he knows so much! He's a likeable, loveable teddy bear. What can I say. I didn't think he liked me, he always gave me funny looks, but of course now I know he just always is messing with people. Anyways, after our summer semester roughing it, I didn't stay in touch. Until one afternoon in the fall I saw him on campus and he became our 7th roomey! He was always hanging out and we became best of friends. I had no idea he liked me, and I was head over hills w/ my missionary, so it really surprised me that I was jealous whenever anyone flirted with him. The rest is history. We started dating and got married in the spring.
Now looking back 8 years. We've moved a gazillion times (Utah, Rexburg, St. Anthony, Rigby, Denver, Rexburg, Tampa, Houston). We've been middle class, very lower class, and middle class again. We have had many trials to say the least, but all of them have made us stronger. And last but not least, we have two beautiful children that fill our lives full of love and happiness. I'm so happy I went on that stinking camping trip instead of Australia!!! I love you Joel. You are amazing!!!
Love,
Sid

I had some posting issues...rather not talk about it.
Well, for the 1st time in weeks...I agree!! Okay, I am kidding! I am just angry you made me weep like a baby without it's banky!! I controlled it much better than most babies would have, but I think it is unfair you ask me to look at the blog...I should have known!! A grown man crying at work...I told everyone it was because I was worried about the Polar bears not having a fair shake at life, and that I indirectly was adding to their strife because I work for an evil coal burning company!! Buey-huey! That's my best crying to words impersonation, yeah I know, kinda weak. All joking aside, Tins you are my best friend and the love of my life and the Dude and Sis are also the loves of my life!!! You are the best and I too have enjoyed the roller coaster ride, while many others get off of it due to their motion sickness we refuse to get off of it, call us mad, or maybe we just love roller coasters!?! Anyways, I love very much and am very thankful for everything you are for me and do for me and our beautiful kids!! So in Dr.Evil fashion when proclaiming his love to Mini-me, "You complete me!" Love, your hairy Hubby! -Joel
