It has been said that you never really know who you marry. 12 years ago, Leon and I were sealed in the Oakland temple. Here is what I didn't know at the time about who I married...
I never knew Leon would love my cooking so much. Even when I cooked pesto with 2 heads of garlic, instead of 2 cloves. We now call that recipe, Newlywed Pesto.
I never knew Leon would be crying with me as we struggled with infertility.
I never knew Leon would be willing to drive a beat up '94 Jetta in order to use the "truck" savings for InVitro.
I never knew Leon would be so involved in decorating our home. It is kind of nice to have someone else's input...well sometimes.
I never knew that part of decorating our house would be leaving numerous tools in our front room. At one point a rototiller...saw...drills.
I never knew Leon would give me great advice on how to be tactful. He always has the right way to say things to others.
I never knew Leon would be so supportive of my public service. I always thought it would have been the other way around.
I NEVER knew Leon would be the one to leave his socks and paperwork all over the place. I hope to find this endearing...and soon!
I have always known he would be devoted to me and our children, and he truly is. That alone outweighs everything else.

Congratulations on 12 years. I think you both found great people to marry! Love the picture... Leon had so much hair 12 years ago :)
That was so sweet! I never knew that you were sealed in the Oakland temple. You guys are such a great couple and have such an awesome family!
I love to read your blogs. I sent you an anniversary e-card :) ... hope you have a great year celebrating 12 years married. You guys must be getting old.
Aaawwww! Look at you two! I love seeing people's old wedding photos. Wait, did I just say old?
Happy Anniversay, that was very nice Jen. When we first get married, we never know what life has in store for us. I think it's a blessing when challenges pull you closer and not far apart. You guys are a great example to all.
Love you guys,
Dolly
I to would take a devoted husband over all else. When you get right down to it it's nothing in the eternities.!! 12 years that's great...

Jen you are so beautiful. As I looked at your picture I had flashbacks to your wedding reception. Good times. I hope you are doing well!
