10 again

Today is 10...

10 years ago Jesse and I vowed we would be partners for better or for worse in sickness and in health.

So what are some random facts about those 10 years.

1. Gas was .73 a gallon on the day we were married.

2. Our firstborn was born 2 weeks before out first anniversary.

3. We had to deal with "sickness" early on with Devonae being born with craniosynostosis. I think we did well if survival is a gauge of success.

4. We slept on a pallet of pillows on the floor for the first month of our marriage.

5. Jesse bought me a TV for my first birthday we were together. It replace a 3 inch b/w one we had borrowed from a friend.

6. I have been pregnant 7 times but only have 4 kids. I learned that men grieve much differently then women.

7. Danny was due on our anniversary but came a week late on March 15.

8. Our anniversary's have never been typical celebrations.

9. Jesse paid for out first date together AFTER we had purchased our engagement and wedding rings.

10. Plans for today? Jesse is at the car dealer buying his new car. I love him. His 1988 camry is about on its last leg/wheel.

We are planning on cooking out today. The high is forecast to be 73.
Jesse is sick with a yucky cold.
My house is a mess.

I am pretty happy with how far we have come in 10 years. Am I ready for 10 more?
Sure, why not. Life is an adventure and who better to experience it with than your best friend.

I hope you guys had a great anniversary!

Here's what I remember about your wedding:

1. Seth was sick and was at prompt care the whole afternoon before the rehearsal and then was late.

2. Playing the flute during the ceremony

3. Your recessional tune :)

4. People eating your wedding cake before you entered the reception hall. And a certain aunt trying to fend them off.

5. Your beautiful dress

How's the new car??
