Happiness Found

My number one and two happiest memories are very close together and they run into each other. So I will just write them together. My number one happiest memory is my wedding day. It was June 26, 1998. I remember arriving at the temple first (early, of course) and being so nervous that Ryan wasn't there. He arrived right on time and I sighed a breath of relief. We were married by the sweetest man named Ned Winder. Ned Winder was Ryan's Dad's mission president and he married all the Jeppesen boys to their spouses. I remember how choked up my Dad was after the ceremony and how he stifled a sob when we hugged and that was the closest I came to crying that day. It was so wonderful to be married to him for all time and eternity. Our Luncheon was at the Sherwood Hills golf club. It was good. Then our reception was at the Jeppesen home in Mantua. It was so beautiful and the perfect spot for a reception. My Aunt Cynthia made our amazing chocolate iced wedding cake. I had always told my Mom that I wanted a chocolate iced wedding cake and she always said, no those things are just not done. It was however the absolute best tasting wedding cake ever. We left the reception as quickly as we could and drove to Park City which leads to my second most happy memory of our Honeymoon. We spent two nights in Park City then we left to drive to Oregon. We had the best time. Highlights of the trip were the seaplane ride and all of the beautiful sights. I just love road trips and I am very much in love with my husband even after all this time. I really want to take a road trip with all of my kids someday to show them all the cool sights there are in the world.
