Celebrating 10 Years

Now for the sappy part... I promise to keep it short :-)


10 years ago we sat on the floor in my parents dusty attic in Utah and made a plan. We casually talked about what we wanted our future lives to be like ~ who we wanted to become ~ how to raise our 10 children-haha ~ what our home environment would be like and what we could accomplish together... Over the past 10 years I have watched as we've lived the life we planned. Yeah, we've had our share of mountains to climb along the way... and we are stronger because of them.


This man was designed to fit me perfectly... He's been the never ending supportive force behind my wild vision for our family's education, makes me laugh, gives compassion when I need it, teaches me when I am impatient, gladly takes over the children and household when I am in desperate need of ME time and is an amazing father to our 5 (not 10 :-) children... and I could not ask for more.


~ Looking forward to creating the next 10 years together :-)


We took a relaxing get-away ~ Dinner, movie and a little shopping. We stayed at the Camelback Inn JW Marriott Resort & Spa. It was quiet and relaxing with a great view and a lot of fun AZ history.
