When it all began!

We started officially dating just after Christmas 2003 and from there we were unseperable. We did everything together! Every weekend without a doubt we were spending every minute we could with one another. One of my most fun memories is Prom. It was so much fun and you looked so handsome! After waiting forever for you to propose...you finally did! We were downtown adn you were in your military uniform, which of course no girl could resist, and we took a carriage ride up through memorial grove. It was more than I could have ever expected. Thank you for being so romantic!

WE MADE IT!

We were married October 14, 2006 in Great Falls National Park by our stake President. I still can't believe that we pulled it off. Who else besides you could pull of setting up an entire wedding in 2 days. And who would have thought that i could find the perfect flowers at the grocery store and the perfect dress a day before I flew out for $40. I guess it all worked out because we were meant to be together no matter the odds. Thank you for making this the best day it could have possible been. You worked so hard cordinating everything. I love you so much and I can't wait to spend many many many more years right by your side!

Our place in D.C.

D.C. was such a fun place to live. We were able to see so much of

all the sites. Our house was perfect. I miss it so much! I loved how big our kitchen was and just how it had that cozy kind of feeling. I remember the first day that we got into our place and you had the blowup mattress set up for us and then we had a few pots and pans. It was so simple but perfect. I love you and I am so grateful for how hard you worked on getting us into a place ASAP.

Big, Bigger, Biggest!

The day I found out I was pregnant was the scariest and happiest day of my life. I was literally freaking out! I wasn't sure how you would react and I am so glad that you were supportive and happy, (and did I mention absolutely SHOCKED) HAHA! It was a very long long long 9 months but I am so glad that I got to spend all that time with you. We had lots of fun...going to baseball games, seeing the sites in D.C., doing the Sept. 11 walk, going to Utah, the Navy/Marine Corp Ball, etc. Thanks for being such a trooper while I complained day after day about wanting this little guy out! You were great!

The Day Our Lives Changed Forever

Our little boy Boston Douglas Reich finally came into our lives on September 28, 2007 at 12:37 p.m. weighing in at 8 lbs .08 oz. He was absolutely perfect. I still remember everything from the moment I first started having contractions to the moment that I finally held that little boy in my arms. Zach that was one of the most amazing days of our entire lives. You were more than great throughout the whole thing. Thank you so much for not panicing while I watched "The Office" and did my hair and took my sweet time before we finally left for the hospital. You were great through all of my labor. Thank you for making me a mom! Its the greatest gift that you have ever given me and will ever give me. I love you baby!

First Anniversary

I couldn't have asked for a better day. It was so special! We had a 2 week little boy with us to share that special day. I am so glad that we were still living in D.C. so we could go back to Great Falls National Park, where we got married. It was a beautiful day! Honestly it was the most amazing anniversary that anyone could have ever asked for.

Boston's Blessing

This was such a great day! It was so nice to have all the family meet actually for the first time. It was so much fun to see everyone together. We got some great pictures, thanks to Preston. And can i just tell you how handsome my 2 boys look. I love you!

Our Move to Virginia Beach

I loved living in Virgina Beach. We were so close to the beach and I loved spending our weekends walking down on the boardwalk listening to the live bands play. I miss that so much! We sure had lots of fun memories here (Dealing with backed up sewer stuff, having the geese attack us, etc..) Just kidding! HAHA! But really we had lots of fun and I am so glad that we were able to do all of it together.

Sealing

We were sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple on May 31, 2008. It was a great day! All of our family and friends were there and we were lucky enough to have Preston take these amazing photographs. I love you so much and I am so happy that I am your sweetheart.

Our Time Apart

Since we have been married we have spent quite a bit of time apart. A couple months after we got married we spent 3 weeks apart and the following year we after Christmas we spent a couple months apart and then a few months later we had to spend a couple more months. It was so hard to have spent so much time away from you and I know that it was twice as hard for you to spend time away from Boston and I. But I think that considering being a military family, we have had it pretty good. Thank goodness you have yet to have to leave for 9 months at a time. I love you and I am so glad that we have eachother.

Our New Home... Paradise!

The first picture of Boston is the exact expression that I had when you walked in through our door in Virginia Beach holding a pineapple. I couldn't believe that you had pulled it off. I could not be happy with the way that our "Navy Lives" have played out so far. You have worked with some amazing people and have had some unbelievable experiences. We have lived in D.C. where you did Ceremonial Guard and worked at the Pentagon. We have lived in Virginia Beach a few blocks from the beach, where you received the Outstanding Achievement award in C-school. And now we live in Hawaii, aka Heaven on earth. I feel so blessed to have been a part of those many adventures with you and I can't wait to see what comes next.

Our Little Boy is Growing Up!

Can you believe that we now have a 1 year old. Boston has grown up so fast. I am so excited to go through each new milestone with you by my side. I think so far we have done a pretty good job with him and I am so grateful for your help when I do come up short. Thank you for being such a great dad! Boston loves playing with you and I love watching my boys having fun.
