We've hit the big 10!

So today it is official we have made it to our 10 years of wedded bliss!!! I decided to look up what the 10 year wedding anniversay milestone was and it says this: A marriage that lasts ten years is as durable and beautiful as a diamond. I thought that fit exactly what I was feeling having hit the mark. We have had our ups and downs for sure but it has truly been worth it. To think back to where we started and see where we are at now is humbling and fills me with joy.

Who would have thought that over 10 years ago playing Sega while I waited for Laurie to get ready would have led to this.

We have had our trials and our tears. We have felt the unexplainable joys and such happiness that it is overwhelming. My grandmother always said that every 10 years a person changes and I can really understand that. I don't think Jeff and I are the same people we were when we married. There are still lingering pieces of those two but we have become more of one than two seperate people trying to play house. Our life is crazy and hectic at times and relaxing and fun at others. The joys of life truly teach you alot.

We'd like to say a big thank you again to all our friends and family who have supported us and cared. We really can't make it in this world without friends and family. They are there for the best and worst of times and it helps you get through life.

We love you all and here is to another 10 wonderful years. Lets hope they are a bit smoother than the first!!

Cruisin'

Happy big 10 years!! To celebrate we took a cruise to Alaska. A huge thank you to Ken and MarGene for watching our 2 little ones so we could go. I'm sure their week was a bit more crazy then ours. We enjoyed just being together and relaxing. It was fun to take a cruise and have constant stuff to do. We were always entertained and there was plenty of food. Besides the great ports we were able to see a whale spout out, a bald eagle fly overhead while we were in the hot tub, fish literally jump right out of the water, and the most beautiful scenery ever. It was truly a wonderful week and a great present we gave to ourselves. I could go on and on and tell you about each day but then my blog would be huge. I've posted a slide show that follows this of some highlights from the trip. You'll notice they are mostly of Jeff, I spend most of the time behind the camera. I wonder where I get that from :} We really did have a great time and we'd like to say thanks to all the friends and family that have kept in touch. Thank you for always being there. Love ya!!!!!

Happy 4th Birthday!!

Our little man turned 4 years old today!! To celebrate we took him out to a play place called Odessey1. It has a huge indoor play structure and arcade games. He had a wonderful time and I think played with just about everything they had. It was an awesome day and one he really enjoyed!!!
