Rachel was still a teenager when we got married 2 days after my 22nd birthday! This rubbed many the wrong way and also empowered others to try and dictate how we dated, arranged our wedding and lived our life! Did we listen to them, yes.  Did we do as they dictated, NO! we were young but not stupid and started this journey together 24 years ago and are still going strong! 

Come along for this spicy episode where we go over our dating trials, engagement fiascos and marriage lessons we've learned along the way!

In my family we have multiple generations of family members who have served missions for The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints or if you prefer the uneducated term... a Mormon mission. Our Church has kept the same name since the 1830's but the catchy phrase Mormons stuck with detractors of the church and still remains.
