Grinning uncontrollably from ear to ear

Fifteen years ago on this date I found myself grinning uncontrollably in a sealing room of the Seattle Temple. I must have looked utterly ridiculous to the large-ish group of (mostly) strangers who were there looking on. I wanted to act solemn and sober and all but I couldn’t help myself — that giant goofy grin just would not go away.

But I have an excuse for looking like a clown that day… On July 2, 1992 Kristen J and I were married. Those of you who know Kristen can understand why I am still grinning from ear to ear about that event.

  9. Funny, I didn’t even check out this post until the 4th of July. I remember my parents commenting on how sweet it was that you were smiling so much. They figured it was because you were so in loooooooooooooooooove! They were right too!

    Thanks for a wonderful 15 years, here’s to an eternity to come.
