10 Amazing Years!!!

Time sure does fly, but really, ten years doesn't seem very long! I'm happy to say that being married to Kevin for ten years has truly been wonderful. I think we're both pretty laid back people (which seems to have been passed on to our boys as well!) so life together is fun, relaxing, hilarious (thanks to Kev--he cracks me up!), and easy going. Just the way I like it :) I feel like we understand each other (for the most part) and although our communication needs work, that should be an easy fix if either 1) Kevin gets hearing aids or 2) I start speaking louder!!

I sure do love my hubby.

Kev wrote a brief summary of how we celebrated our day:
"I worked for half day then we all went to BYU's 'Cougareat' where Janell and I had our first date so long ago. We reminisced of those times ...

• Janell laughing to tears
• Some 'slow' cleaner sitting down with us,  listening in on what was so funny.
• We believe we went to the Cougareat's Subway.
• I actually worked at the 'Scoreboard' grill for a semester when in college too.
• Me not having a car
• etc

Rylan got a pizza. Janell, Asher and Tyce had Subway. And I went to the 'Scoreboard Grill' for their delicious burgers and fries.

We then went to the Timpanogos Temple where we were married. It was 104 degrees outside (about as hot as it was 10 years ago ... remember?). Luckily, about the time we got out to take pictures, the clouds came in and it rain just a little bit to cool things down, just a little. We took a lot of pictures.

We came home, ate, put the boys to bed and watched Galatica."

I would like to comment on our lunch. It was Kevin's idea to go there (10+ years ago and today) and even though it's the Cougareat I thought it was pretty romantic. That place will always hold a special place in my heart :) I did point out to Kevin that ten years ago he was talking, I was laughing. Today we ate in near silence. I remember when we were newly married, or maybe even just dating, we were at a restaurant and he commented on the couple in the booth next to us. They were 'older' and did very little talking to each other. We wondered how that could be! Now look at us!!! I guess we recognize that we can talk anytime and we may as well just eat :)

We are going to St. George this weekend, leaving the boys at Tami's house (can I do it?). I had thought we'd have a huge 10th Anniversary vacation (cruise, Hawaii, Europe...) but Kev suggested we wait until next year when he has a six week sabbatical. Okay. So the day of our anniversary ended up just being quiet and perfect. It was fun to go up to the temple and just be on the grounds with the boys. Rylan ended up taking over the camera and took a photo of each individual person.

And some more pictures. The day we were married, Moroni and the steeple were covered in scaffolding. Big bummer! Today there was scaffolding on the steeple (on the side, not really in view here). I wonder if it's a yearly thing that happens every July? Isn't the temple just gorgeous??!

Ten years and three handsome kids later. I am so blessed--I love my life!
