6 Years Together


Our 6th Wedding Anniversary was yesterday. We celebrated on Saturday night by going out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. The food was amazing, the cheesecake was delicious, and the wait wasn't too long. Now that they've opened up the patio, the Salt Lake City restaurant can now seat more people!

Some days it feels like I've known Colin forever and other days its hard to believe we've been married for six years. For this year's post, I thought I'd do some lists.


Six things you may not know about Colin and Jen

1. We met the Summer of '98 while we were both attending BYU.

2. Our first date was on October 17. 1998. (nearly 10 years ago!) We saw Saving Private Ryan and I asked him out.

3. We have never been camping together. (except if you count beach camp)

4. One of our favorite meals is chili and rice. It costs about $1.50 to make!

5. We are only 5 months apart.

6. Before Colin left for his mission, we both knew we'd end up married some day.


Six things I've learned about marriage

1. Patience is always a good virtue. Thank you, Colin for being the more patient one.

2. As with everything, marriage included, practice makes better.

3. It is possible to love someone more each day.

4. The golden rule is always a good thing to live by.

5. Men can love shoes as much as women.

6. As John Lennon said, "Love is all you need".


Six things I love about Colin

1. His sense of humor. Thank you for making me laugh every day

2. His "fly" look. What can I say, he's Sexy!

3. The way he's always happy in the morning. I used to think that I was a morning person, but he's definitely better at being awake in the morning than I am (when he wants to be).

4. What a wonderful Daddy he is. The boys really love you.

5. His optimism. He always helps me look on the bright side of things, even if I'm just complaining to complain.

6. How he tells me he loves me every day.



Happy Anniversary Colin, I Love You!

Spode Dish Factory

I went with a few friends on a mommy-field trip to the Spode Dish factory in Malaysia.  We had the best time and it was an experience I won't soon forget.  We met at Becky's in the morning and got our three car caravan ready to go.  We said a prayer, did a cheer and were off at about 9 am.  We crossed the border without any issues (except for toll top-up cards) and hit the road.  In about an hour we arrived at this little side-of-the-road pottery market.  It was typical of a third-world place. True Outlet shopping.  There was a nice aluminum roof and some big fans to keep us cool.  The plates were very dusty from being outside so long but there were so many lovely treasures.  We all had a good time just wandering around searching for new dishes. I was looking for a set of every-day dishes and anything else was a bonus in my mind.  Spode is a European brand that outsources production to Malaysia.  Their retail cost is pretty high but we got some amazing deals.  After we had

Baby Evan Makes his Arrival

The nurses from Alta View called me yesterday to let me know that my c-section was scheduled for 7:30am, and that we needed to be at the hospital by 6:00am. So much for sleeping in! Grandma and Grandpa took Ryan last night so that we wouldn't have to drop him off before the crack of dawn. We arrived at the hospital this morning at 6:00 as directed and got all admitted. At about 7:00 they let us know that we were being bumped because of an emergency c-section that they needed to do ahead of us. At around 8:00 they took us back to the operating room. The anesthesiologist came in and did his thing. Colin was great to help me through the whole surgery process. Our baby boy was born at 8:26 am. He weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 21 inches long. He has dark hair but not tons of it and it's probably curly, I would guess. His name is Evan Miles Dean. We are both doing well and there will be more pictures to come! me- last day of pregnancy Jen waiting to go into surgery Colin wa

This is Ryan and I painting letters for baby Evan. So, I guess we've made up our mind on the first name. I have a funny story to tell about Ryan. Yesterday he was playing with his little match-box cars on the table. He decided it would be fun to drive them through some "powder". So, he dumped out as much pepper as he could get out of the shaker and began driving the little truck through it. Later on he put the truck in his mouth. He quickly found out that it didn't taste so good. He kept rubbing his tongue on the couch, his blanket, and his shirt, trying to get the taste to go away. It was just too funny. I gave him some juice and that didn't work either so we eventually washed his hands and brushed his teeth to help him get rid of the pepper taste. Well, I survived my long week at work. Parent-Teacher conferences went well and I only didn't see two parents. I didn't get yelled at and my sugars stayed normal throughout the conferencing. I am so relieved
