We haven't had a good "couple" picture since David was little (i.e. before Josh was born). My mom was kind enough to take several shots of us so that we could choose the best. These are our top choices. (The slideshow has the others.) Luckily, our gray hairs aren't showing (okay, mine). :-P
Let me just take a second to express my gratitude for Jesse, the best husband I could have ever desired. I noticed his "glow" the first time I met him. He is long-suffering: I am not a patient person; he helps me retain perspective when I lose my cool. He is kind: he still thinks I am beautiful despite the extra thirty pounds rounding out my body. He seeketh not his own: I have to do all his bragging when he wins an award or gets a promotion. He is not easily provoked: when he does get mad, I know it is serious. He rejoiceth not in iniquity: before we started dating, we went to a movie together with our Family Home Evening group; he looked away from suggestive scenes during the previews. He rejoiceth in the truth: I know he loves his Heavenly Father and his Savior every time I see him kneel to pray before bedtime.

What a great tribute. Yes, Jesse is all those things. . . Even when we were rowdy kids, I remember Jesse being the peace-maker - kind, thoughtful, and always sincere.
Even as the bratty little sister growing up, Jesse was always kind and patient with me. I rejoiceth not in iniquity either and made sure my brothers never participated, so I was an obnoxious sister. But I always introduced Jesse as the "nice brother" (we won't get into the other boy's intros. :o). You guys are a cute couple and good parents!
You aren't a patient person? Why did I not know this when we were in the same ward. So how do you manage four kids then? Cause I feel I am far from a patient person and I only have two kids. It makes me worry whether or not I could handle anymore. So any advice would be greatly appreciated. What great pics of you guys.
You and Jesse look great. You haven't changed a bit since the last time I saw you. I'm glad you recommend The Host because I was thinking about reading. Let me know if you have any expect advice. With #3 on the way, I'll take all the help I can get.
You two do make a very good couple... not only cute, but well suited for each other... and the happiness with each other shows. We were bummed that we didn't catch up with you guys in Utah, but we're glad to hear all is well. And by the way, I always remember Jesse as the conspiring one who came up with all the plans for our wacky antics growing up- oh, wait, that might have been me (and Chris)...
