Rose and Todd

Our story started back in the fifth grade, but our adventure is only just beginning. Todd got home from his mission (Houston South) in December of 2006 and I ended up at his homecoming in January. A phone call later and a promise of hot chocolate we ended up going ice skating. After that night of guitar hero and realizing that I was falling for his charm and his sweet guitar moves, we became inseparable. We got engaged in our fifth grade classroom on March 28th and exactly four months later on July 28th we were sealed together for all eternity in the Salt Lake Temple. Everything went perfect and it could not have been more beautiful. The next day we flew to sunny Puerto Vallarta and had a wonderful time at our beach side condo with a private bay to snorkel, canopy tours in the jungle (where Predator was filmed), and humid humid weather! Despite all our efforts to make sure not to drink the water, Todd must have swallowed some while in the shower or maybe through eating the ice because besides feeling awful on the last day in Mexico, he also got to spend some quality time in the airplane bathroom the whole way home.

Once we arrived home from Mexico, we ended up in the emergency room that night for a few hours. After picking up a few prescriptions at Wal-greens on the way home we emptied the swimming suits and shorts from our suitcase and traded it for jeans and long sleeves and headed to bed for about two hours. We then got to spend the whole day traveling by plane and ferry to visit Grandma and Grandpa Richards in Alaska. At this point Todd was still pretty sick. Despite the two days or so of difficulties, we consider ourselves extremely lucky to spend 10 days fishing for salmon and halibut and watching for bears while enjoying one of the most amazing places in the entire world.

Since then we have come back to reality and have just been getting our fun life together with six months in an apartment in Provo and the recent move to P.G. Time has flown by as Todd has been working full time for a company in Springville called Trivani as a Media-Specialist while going to school full time in graphic design. I have been working doing medical transcription and keeping things together at home. We had an addition to our family at Christmas and he is the funniest little ball of fur named Gus Rupert Whatcott. He is a malti-poo and he makes us laugh...most the time.

So I guess that is us, the Whatcott's, and we couldn't be happier.
