Happy 3rd Anniversary Matt and Bethany

I remember well the day - actually 4 days after my son stepped off of a plane returning him to the United States from a 2 year Mission from Taiwan. He told me he had asked Bethany to marry him! Now not only had we known this would happen and it would happen soon - 4 days did not give me much 'Mommy and Me' time with Matt! Needless to say - any moment that Bethany was not a part of our family was a moment too many. We loved her so much and prayed that someone else would not steal her away from us. Matt and Bethany were married in the Jordan River Temple on September 2nd. They celebrated the night before in the Duffin's backyard - a family friend to the Stimpsons. It was a beautiful setting for a special night. Then the next day they were married and we had a wonderful wedding luncheon and they headed off to Disneyland for a week!

We were always in love with the Stimpson family, Mark (King Mark), and Kathleen (Queen Mum) and their two daughters. We were always impressed with the amazing caliber of daughter they raised. Bethany and Matt met during their service in the Special Needs Mutual - Matt was smitten! Although she was an Alta Girl, and Matt was a Jordan Boy - their hearts were meant to be together. Bethany is currently on her 2nd internship for her Masters Degree in Communications with an emphasis on Speech disorders (I probably messed that description up - so Matt please fix that) and Matt just returned from Seattle Washington from his internship with Ernst and Young and will also graduate with his Masters from BYU in December. They have been diligent in their church callings - Primary, Primary, Primary - funny stories over the years have hit their blog pages. We are so proud of them in every way - there is a wonderful spirit about them when ever you are with them and you always want to be with them. One of the major reasons we LOVE to be around them now is our Grandson - Andrew Vincent Hillary - who is currently celebrating 2 new bottom teeth and 6 months of being absolutely the most important thing in the world to these old Grandparents. They will be moving to pursue their dreams in January to Washington - only 14 hours away - less than that if I drive. They take our support and love with them - just as long as they leave the grandchild here. Congratulations on your Anniversary! You always seem to spend each day more in love.
