10 years is a long time...

I haven't had too many things for ten years.
The clothes I wore 10 years ago don't fit.
The shoes I wore 10 years ago are out of date.
I've gotten rid of most silly, childish trinkets I had 10 years ago.
But 10 years ago, I picked up this goofy guy. A newly returned missionary, with big hopes and dreams.
And we fell hopelessly in love.
10 years ago, we got married.
Since then, we have achieved a few degrees, 3 darling children, a few pounds, a few wrinkles...
.
And last week, he took me to the Bahamas...
.
It was heavenly.

10 years ago, I thought I knew what loving someone was like. I thought I knew how amazing and blissful and excited and wonderful marriage was going to be. After 10 years, I have a much deeper understanding that love is more than that. My husband is one of my greatest blessings.

Ben's Baptism Weekend

Guess What? Ben turned 8. And made the choice to get baptized. Super exciting!

We are so pleased with his decision!
It is wonderful to see him start out here, and end up here. Happy Birthday kiddo! We love you so much!
