She had never meet him before; although she wrote him while he was serving his mission in the Dominican Republic. (At the same time and in the same area as her older brother.) He lived in Mesa and she lived in Tucson. When he returned home from his mission they went on their first date together and had a wonderful time. Every weekend after that he drove down to Tucson to spend time with her. They realized that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together and were sealed in the Mesa, Arizona temple for time and all eternity. After 25 years of marriage, my parents' love for one another has grown stronger and deeper. Growing up I have witnessed that love they hold for one another. My parents have been and are the perfect example of what a marriage should be. Through the good and the bad, they have worked hard to raise a beautiful family and to constantly nourish their love for one another. I am so grateful for each of them and for their unconditional love and support. Thanks Mom and Dad for everything!
