In 1997 at the end of both of our missions in Arizona Clayton was transferred to Mesa and I got a new district leader. We had never met before, but I thought he was a nice guy. He baptised a guy we taught for a singles ward we were serving in. Here is a picture of Clayton and Jose. (Sorry Clayton, remember that jumpsuit was a little snug?)
So Clayton went home after just a month of being my district leader. And we wrote each other for one month until I got home. We were just friends but started hanging out when I got home. We did fun things burn our socks when there was a full moon for good luck. (I guess it worked!)
Here we are fishing (We haven't fished again)
Clayton was working nights at UPS and I would sometimes bring him dinner so we could see each other. I brought him dinner one night and was late so I was trying to get him to hurry and eat. He started to chock on his drink then said "Look what was in my drink" he held out his hand and there was my ring! and he said to me "will you be my wife" I was so surprised! But I said yes.
Now it has been 10 years. It hasn't always been easy but I really love my husband and am glad he gave me my 3 little boys. Thanks Clayton, happy anniversary.
