{16 Years}

Total of 20 years together! 16 years of marriage. I couldn't have picked a better person to be on this crazy ride with! You are my better half and I could never live without you. I love you more than I can put into words. Thank you for being my best friend, my laughter, my cheerleader, my support, and a shoulder to cry on. You are my everything! ♥ ♥ ♥

{14 Years and going strong!}

‎14 years ago today I married the love of my life! ♥ You are my best friend, my sanity, my partner in crime, my comic relief, my security, my confidant, and the only one that can tell me I am being crazy and get away with it :) We have been through so many ups and downs and when the downs tried to ruin us, it just made us stronger. I love you with everything that I have. I can't wait to see what the next 50 years brings us. ♥ ♥ ♥

We spent our anniversary enjoying the band Sugarland with some good friends!



Here are a few recent pictures of us. 

{13 Years}

If you would have told me 13 years ago I would be marrying a boy that I knew for a couple of months in 10th grade and then you told me his name was David Horlacher I would have laughed in your face.  But for some reason he was brought back into my life on October 29, 1994 at The Club Omni Dance Club in Provo where we ran into eachother and from that night on we spent everyday together for 3 years until we decided to tie the knot...I actually gave him an ultimatum.  Either we marry or break up.  3 years is a long time and it was time to take the next step.  I'm glad he didn't run the other direction but instead bought me a beautiful ring and proposed to me.

13 years ago today I married the love of my life!  I love you Dave and I am so blessed to have you in my life.  You take care of us, you keep us laughing, you are a hard worker and an AMAZING father.

I can honestly say that I am more in love with you now than the day we were married.  Through all of the hard times and bumpy roads instead of falling apart our love has grown into such an amazing relationship, words don't even come close to explaining it. You are truly my BEST FRIEND.  I can tell you everything and you don't judge me.  When I am being crazy you don't have a problem telling me to calm down.  And not a day goes by that I don't hear I love you at least 10 times over the phone, text or in person.

I look forward to 50 more years with you!  I love you baby!

I took the day off on our anniversary to spend the day with my hubby.  We had nothing special planned, just to be together

We went to lunch at Zupa's for lunch

Spent a lot of time holding hands (my favorite)

And went to a movie.

The fact that we can just do something simple like that and not have any BIG plans shows that we just love to be together no matter what we are doing.

{12 years}

Today Dave and I have been married for 12 years.

I am in love with him more now than I have ever been! We have been through so many ups and downs and I wouldn't want to be on this crazy ride with anyone else.

Thank you so much for being such a hard worker and providing for our family.

Thank you for being such a wonderful husband and making me feel so unconditionally loved.

And last but not least....thank you for being such an incredible father! These boys look up to you so much and I love seeing you interact with them.

I love you baby and I can't wait to grow old and grey with you!

{Anniversary Weekend}

Wow, I had the most ROMANTIC weekend for my anniversary! Can you hear sarcasm in my voice on that one because you better. I am just giving Dave a hard time, it wasn't romantic but we had so much FUN and I was able to spend quality time with Dave and the boys which we haven't been able to do much lately with Dave working out of town and the summer being crazy busy.


These are the flowers that he gave me. Of course he didn't think of what he was going to do with them after he gave them to me and this is all I could find that they would fit in.
We went camping with Dave's sister Tara and her boyfriend Kelly. Kelly has a son (Taijun) that is Garrett's age and the boys hit it off so well! I told Kelly if him and Tara ever broke up I would need to get joint custody of Taijun.

This is the boys hiking up to the rocks.

Here are the dogs trying to cool off under the trailer. It was SOOOO hot and there were a million flies. We have only been camping to this place once before but it was in the spring and a lot cooler. Note to self, don't go camping in Elberta in the summer, great spring and fall camp spot.

The boys of course had to bring their guns and the whole time we were telling them how important gun safety was and to make sure the guns were always up until you were getting ready to shoot and no one was in the way. Taijun took hold the guns up VERY seriously.
Just a lonely sunflower growing by this dead tree, when I have time to photo edit this I bet it will look coolWe went on a 4 wheelin ride to explore. We stopped at this cement pad to see what was on the other side. I had to get the boys flexing for me

Below this cement pad was a mine. As we walked around we found a ton of old soup cans, horse shoes, and railroad nails It was so neat!

Garrett stumbled across another awesome treasure while we were exploring. We opened it up and found a letter explaining that we had found a worldwide game dedicated to GPS

If you take something out of it you need to put something back. Well we didn't really want to take anything out of it but we added some random things like a golf ball that was in my dad's 4 wheeler, a bullet out of Kelly's pocket and some bubble gum.

we signed our names and put it back for the next person. What a fun thing to go do sometime. Find all these treasures with a GPS.

Last time we went camping here the group we were with showed us this cool tunnel where the train use to go when a lot of mining was going on so we had to take Tara and Kelly to see it.

That night Tara and Dave set up a table on the other side of our trailer with a bed sheet as a table cloth, a lantern as candle light, my flowers and a small fire to give it the mood. Dave blindfolded me and took me around to surprise me. It was SO sweet. We sat there while the boys served us dinner.

The rest of the time we had fun sitting by the fire and just relaxing. Tara ended up taking the dogs for a ride on the 4 wheeler which was so funny because they actually just sat there and let her take them, they didn't even try to jump off.

We could have done the typical dinner and movie for our anniversary and looking back we would never remember what we did, but this anniversary will stand out in our memories a long with last years anniversary when we went to Hawaii. Thank you Dave! I love you!

{11 YEARS!}

Today is our anniversary!
I can't believe we have been married for 11 years! Plus we dated for 3 years so a total of together for 14!

We have been through so much together some very high and some very low and instead of the low pulling us apart it has brought us closer together. Dave, you are my best friend, my partner in crime and the love of my life. You keep me laughing even when I am mad at you. You are the shoulder that I lean on when I need advice or just to cry on. Every morning I get a text message from you saying something sweet and we can't go through the day without talking on the phone at least 3 or 4 times even if it is to say I love you. You are a hard worker and smart, wow, they throw something at you and you just have that nack to figure it out. I can count on you to fix ANYTHING around the house! I know you will do anything for me and the boys. And lets just talk about what a wonderful father you are! The boys look up to you so much and want to be just like you. The song by Rodney Atkins "Watching you" It's like that song was written about you. I know you won't let them down.

I could never ask for a better person to live the rest of my life with
