Happy Anniversary to US!!!

To start at the beginning. Camille and Adam met through some friends in Laramie, Wyoming. Camille hated Adam at first, and thought he was a loud mouthed arrogant jerk. Adam was totally smitten with Camille's beauty, but was cautious because of Camille's total hatred for him. Like a wart, Adam grew on Camille anyway, despite her hatred. After a few months, Adam finally convinced Camille to take a chance. Camille then fell victim to Adam's devilishly handsome looks, and at a rodeo in the University of Wyoming's Arena decided that Adam was the stud for her.

In June of 2005 Adam took Camille to Lagoon, where in the middle of the afternoon Adam (more like his sis in law, Jody) had arranged for a marching band to play "Love Shack." Adam then got down on one knee and presented the ring. As you can see from the picture below, Camille had no idea what was about to happen.
Yes, Adam and Camille were egnaged in front of the Wac-a-mole near the entrance of Lagoon. It was a great day, one which we will never forget.

On August 11th, 2005 we got married in the Salt Lake Temple. We were both very excited and happy to be married to each other. It was a great day, despite the fact that while Adam was goofing around stepped on Camille's dress and tore it.

If Camille had only known what she was about to get into, she probably would have run. Camille had a very difficult time getting Adam to smile or act serious in the pictures. Therefore, in almost every picture Camille is stunning, while Adam is goofing.


So, to celebrate this year's event, Adam surprised Camille with some flowers. Even Adam was surprised at how pretty they were (generally, Adam makes poor flower choices).

For a special dinner we went to a new steak house in Green River called JLT's. It was fantastic and had a wonderful atmosphere.
Adam was super excited because he ordere a huge steak. You can see the carnalistic desire for meat in his eyes.
Camille went with the girly stuff and got coconut shrimp. She said it was fantastic. Actually, Camille said she got the shrimp because we went to Hawaii on our Honeymoon and she would order that dish at almost every restaurant we went to.
After we ate, we went for a walk down by the railroad tracks in down town Green River (don't judge us!! Green River doesn't have much for romantic get aways). After a few years, we are still happy as two peas in a pod.

Happy anniversary!!! Adam, you're one of my favorite friends from college and I'm way glad you found yourself a hottie, i would have been severely put out if you didnt marry a cool girl. Sorry if it's weird that I said you're a hottie - but i'm stickin' to it.

Happy Anniversary you two! I've been to Green River, lived in Evanston, so legally I'm not allowed to judge you. :) Looks like you had a great evening. It was fun to hear you proposed, Adam.
