Mr. Incredible and I celebrated an anniversary recently! Twenty one years of bliss! HA! It would be a lie if it were all bliss and it would be a tragedy. What a wonderful beautiful journey I would have missed if it weren't sprinkled with showers torrential down pours. After the storm comes the sweet realization that God knows our needs and if two people are renewing their baptismal covenants weekly and obeying their temple covenants that EVERYTHING can be settled after the storms.
I had planned that we would spend this anniversary on the shores of Hawaii. But, as I kept planning our getaway I was very restless with the decision. I suggested California, then New York City and then Mr. Incredible suggested DC. I thought we could fly to the Biltmore. The uneasiness came because we only had 4 days. The perfect solution was to go back to Nauvoo.
We drove like we were a bunch of teenagers in my daughter's convertible with the roof down. We packed an over night bag. We arrived and did a sealing and a session. It is beautiful! It is amazing it should be listed as one of the things to do on your BUCKET LIST! Seriously. The craftsmanship, the intense spirit that resides there is beyond words. I can not explain the reverence and respect that I felt while walking those sacred halls.
Mr. Incredible said it was more special than going to Hawaii! That melted my heart and solidified the feelings of why I would marry him again and again. As a young girl of 19, I had no idea how great a man I had. I'm so thankful that I didn't vary from my qualities of what I sought for in a husband. I'm so thankful for my Young Women leaders who asked us to make a list. I grew up in a small town and never really thought that I would find someone with all those qualities.

Happy Anniversary!!!!!!
Happy Happy Anniversary! You know I am finding that July is a very popular month for Anniversary's - it is just a great month to be married!
You two make a wonderful couple and I am so glad you got to go to Nauvoo and go through the Temple. All Temples are special but there is just something a little different - the history maybe, the craftsmanship - I don't know but The Nauvoo Temple is so wonderful inside and out.
Perfect for an Anniversary!!
What a beautiful way to spend your anniversary. Congratulations on 21 years together to a cute couple. I would love to go to Nauvoo and the church history sights someday with my hubby.
Yay! Happy Anniversary! Looks like you had a really wonderful time. You guys are awesome! Love ya!
SHYEAH! I just read that Warrior got his mish call. I'm so excited for him. I think he should get a nice beach cruiser bike, that's what I'd get he doesn't have to get a pink one with big flowers on it or anything. So you'll be in UT? I'm stoked, can we maybe get together with you and the Mr. for lunch? I'm sure you'll be busy, but HELLO, that'd be so fun!
Happy 21 year anniversary! You guys have 2 years on us. Wishing you guys another 21 years!
21 years is amazing..Way to go
You guys make a darling couple.
