Our Life
Both of our Birthdays are in a couple a days so I wanted to reflect on our 6 years of marriage before we get to old and forget. : )
We have done a lot. We went to Vegas for our honeymoon. Rode my first scooter and almost crashed. Got sealed in the STL Temple. Saw 3 brother-N-Laws go on missions. Ben got his wisdom teeth pulled. Moved into our first apartment. I got my first and second defibrillator. Ben stopped working nights. Lost my 14 old dachshund to old age. Seen all my friends have kids. I got a bachelor in Criminology and Criminal Justice. Ben got a Associate in Arts. Our car got broken into and they stole our scriptures. I went from working at the bank to working for a investment firm. Ben still works at Wal-Mart. We have gone on many vacations (Utah, Alabama, North Carolina, Mexico, California, Oklahoma, Arizona, Missouri). Made some new friends and have lost touch with some old ones. Seen good friends move away (hopefully they will move back). Rode my first wave runner and four wheeler. Sandy moved in with us. Ben has had 2 motorcycles. We bought a new car. Moved into my parents basement then Ben's parents basement. We bought our first house. Ben bought a Firebird (fixer upper). Swam with Sandy in the lake. Donated my hair to locks of love 2 times. Lost our baby. Ben started his Radiology program. Rode my second scooter. Saw 2 Brother-N-Laws get married. Have seen a lot of people we love get cancer and we have lost some to cancer.
We have had my laughs and some cries but I couldn't imagine doing it with anybody else.

Proof
Men do not listen to women. I woke up in the middle of the night and told Ben "I had a bad dream". Ben then gets up out of bed without saying a word and goes into the kitchen and comes back with a drink. I asked him "what are you doing?" He says "you said you needed a drink".

Tornado
We had at least one confirmed tornado during a bad storm the other day. I was lucky enough not to be home during the storm. I was driving home from work and I could see a bad storm ahead of me with a ton of cool lighting. I got to my exit and I could tell that I just missed it. The town was littered with down trees and power outages. When I finally got home after having to take detour after detour, I pulled in my driveway and the telephone pull in our back yard was broken into 3 and power lines all over the yard and our house.
I thought at first that lighting struck it. I freaked out a little and called 911. Ya, they never came. They probably had more important things to worry about. It turns out that a neighbors huge tree got struck by lighting and half of it fell on the power lines. So with all its weight it ripped our telephone pole into 3. We lost power and cable for a day. As for that tornado it was about 2 miles away from our house.

Lately
We took Brandon to the Cards Vs Cubs baseball game for his birthday. Ben was able to get some awesome seats for us. Cards won sorry cousins. This time we made sure that Ben didn't get on the metro without me.
We went to Nauvoo with the family. We watch the sun set on the Mississippi and saw the sights. It was a much needed break.
Ben and I drove around town in his car while he wore his motorcycle helmet to see how many people would look at us. It was great times. One lady almost gave herself whiplash looking at Ben.
