Just Like Heaven. Good song, good movie. Heaven is an ideal we strive for at home and in our marriage. We try not to take ourselves too seriously though.

Our beginnings are quite literally an accident. We officially met in November 2001, even though we knew of each other for a few months before that. We were both BYU students and lived in the same neighborhood. After finding out that Marc was injured in a car accident by a driver running a red light, I offered to nurse him back to health by giving him rides to school. At first he declined, but then ended up changing his mind mere moments later. We discovered a refreshing chemistry between us, even before we discovered we were born on exactly the same day, just two hours apart! That was a sort of magical moment for us. We dated for another nine months, and after a short five week engagement, we were married in the Mount Timpanogos Temple. It was a very beautiful day for us, with our families.
In our almost five years of marriage we have lived in Utah, and Oregon, and currently live in Northern California. Our little valley is a piece of heaven on earth, 30 miles inland from the coast and a short drive from the tallest tree in the world, found in Montgomery Woods State Reserve. We have so many options of fun ways to spend our time - from hiking to beach camping, to water skiing and snow skiing. There isn't a chance to get bored!
