If you know me, you know that I'm a hopeless romantic...and I have a feeling it's all my fathers fault. He started this thing with my Mom back when they were first married. He was taking an art class up at Weber State when he came up with 143. Which means simply I Love You (1-I, 4-L O V E, 3-Y O U)! As kids, we started noticing on notes or in cards that my father always left 143 next to his name. Soon we caught on, and we would leave a 143 next to an XOXO by our own name. Sometimes, we even used a secret three squeezes to each other in church when we shouldn't be talking. It's just kind of been our thing!
So, when Todd & I got married we changed thing around to make our own version...314, you I love! My one Brother & his wife use 434, love you babe. Another uses 436, Love you always! My youngest brother hasn't decided yet...we'll see what they come up with! My point to all this? That traditions are important, but nothings more important then telling the people you love, that you love them everyday...after all you never know how long you'll have them!
Thanks Dad, for all your love over the years!
P.S. 143!

Thats really sweet...I love that. Remember when Spencer's police car was 143?
What a great tradition. I might steal the idea. :)
Shondell....This must run in our family because Troy and I do the same thing. We use 459..which on a cell phone I=4 L=5 and y=9 for I love you. I didn't know you guys did it too!

Angie
