Ten Years

Ok, so our 10 year anniversary is coming up this week, on the 12th. I really cannot believe it has been 10 years. This morning I was thinking about our upcoming trip and about packing and such and it occurred to me what we were actually celebrating... our 10 year anniversary! Ten years! Ten years of being married! I started thinking about how and when we met, when we 1st started dating, getting engaged, planning the wedding, getting married, going on our honeymoon... then starting our lives together, working, me teaching, Jeff at the golf course, building our 1st house, finding out we were expecting our 1st baby, having our 1st baby...beautiful Jackson. Then Jeff started the business, we found out we were expecting #2, having #2...gorgeous B, selling our house, building a new house for our growing family, moving to a rental house, moving to our new house, J starting soccer, then baseball, making new friends, finding out we were expecting #3, having #3...sweet W, then football, more soccer and baseball, more friends...and before you know it 10 years have past. When I think back over these last 10 years, I feel an overwhelming sense of emotion. God has blessed us in SO many ways. I am so thanful for this INCREDIBLE life and family together.

So, yeah, 10 years....do you think we look any different?? Ha! Here is a picture from March 1996, just a few months after we started dating. I think this was probably the first time Jeff come home for the weekend with me and met mom and dad.



And this was January 1997. Our first trip to Sanibel Island. Gotta love those sunglasses!


This picture was in the spring of 1997, in the midst of planning our wedding. The funny thing is, I think Jeff still has this shirt!

And on our way back home from our honeymoon in the lovely Cancun airport.
