Blast from the past


Last night Hyrum and I decided to look through some of "his pictures", aka, the pictures he brought with him to this marriage.  It's always fun to see stuff from his past.  Here are a few of the highlights:

Hyrum in 2006... before moving to the US, having fun at a YSA convention.  There was a recurring theme of really large clothes. 
Hyrum and his BFF's, back when they were all single.  Five of the guys I met when I was in Colombia last summer, and he still keeps in touch with them.  Three just got married in the last 6 months.  


Then he moved to the states, and got shipped off to boot camp.  And lost all his hair!
Along with learning to shoot guns (my bad, "weapons"), he learned how to build houses (which he's completely forgotten).
As he spent his 27th birthday alone surrounded by fresh high school graduates, he realized he needed to settle down and get married soon.  (Lucky realization for me!). 
Graduation. 
Finally back in Utah with family.  Army torture = over.  

Hyrum went back to Colombia to celebrate Christmas and visit family and friends.  Here he is, back in Turmeque, population 3000, plus three kings and three donkeys. 

Hyrum and his best friend, Johan, and wife Judith.  We stayed with them last summer.  They've been friends for  almost 2 decades!!
Notice a change?  No one could believe how much bigger he was.  Boot camp does a body good.
