Fifteen Years Strong

The Schmalz Family
Established September 10, 1993


Every now and again we experience moments in our lives that are so transforming to who we are that almost every detail of the moment is etched permanently in our memory. For me one of those moments occurred 15 years ago today in the Salt Lake Temple, the day that I married my best friend.
It has been and amazing joy ride for the both of us. I can't believe that when we first got married we were riding around in Xandi's red Mustang without a care in the world. Now we are parents to five crazy kids. Wow! So the car has changed a bit, but we are still finding more joy in the ride than we ever thought possible.


Happy Anniversary Babe! You complete me :)

Matt and Mandy said...

Thanks! The print over my piano was from Deseret Book - Matt bought it for me for Christmas last year and I still hadn't found a good place to hang it. Better late than never! The still have them at DB, her website is www.culturalhall.com. Costco actually had them for about half the price of DB a couple of weeks ago, you could check with them to see if they still have some.
