A decade of marriage


In 1997 I was lucky enough to meet the one guy who was willing to be shackled to me for the rest of his life. Nate and I got married ten years ago today. In this installment, you will have to permit me to veer into a sentimental realm, an area in which I am not particularly comfortable. I am thankful for my better half, and I hope we will be blessed with several more decades to journey through together. I am thankful for our parents' example of faithful Christian marriage. I am thankful for having married into a wonderful family. I am thankful that my husband loves me despite knowing me so well. I am thankful for his intelligence, how he has provided for our family, and for our shared sense of humor. I am thankful for our four naughty, delicious children. Happy Anniversary Nate - I love you!


p.s. Wikipedia says the 10th is the Tin/Aluminum anniversary. How underwhelming is that?

Thanks! We enjoyed having you over. Hopefully you weren't scared off by Adrienne's comment when the kids were playing with lincoln logs. We've never started recreational fires indoors, I promise!
