I have known Nate since 1995. He served his mission in Mississippi and in my branch. I could not stand him. I thought he was a know-it-all. And he would say that his mind was on the work that he was there to do. Anyway, I moved to Utah after I graduated high school in 1996. Nate got off of his mission in around April or May of 1997.A mutual friend of mine and Nate's invited me to go to a U2 laser show. He told me that Nate was going to be there and I better be nice. That night I came home and told my roommate that I was going to marry him. Were engaged in July and married by October. Since, we have had 4 children, finished college, buried a grandfather,a grandmother, and a father,and bought a house. We do not have alot of money and honestly we have had a pretty hard time financially. Nathan and I have had hard times. I was a single parent for 8 years while Nate went to school. But through all of this, he is the man I love. I will love him forever. He does so much for our children and me. I cannot begin to explain my love for him. This October we will be married for 12 years and it has been the best 12 years of my life.
