It's been 10 years.....

I find it quite humorous that my friend Jen posted today, celebrating her third year Anniversary. Happy Anniversary Paul & Jeni. I had planned to post today that October celebrates when Bryan and I first got together. We will be married for nine years this coming January. However, the other day Bryan and I were talking and I said you know we've been together for ten years now and have known one another for fifteen? Unbelievable!!! Time sure does fly. These pictures were (ironically) taken by my friend Jen in her home ten years ago. I laugh at the pictures because both Bryan and I had long hair. He shaves his head now and my hair is only a few inches long. =) We look soooo young. It seems like just yesterday....then again it seems like ages ago. I remembered the first time we kissed, it was on the couch in the picture. Wow!! It gave me butterflies in my stomach, it was really good. I never once thought at that time that we would be married and living the life we are right now. I'm happy to say that my husband still gives me butterflies when he kisses me! We've grown so much, inside and out! lol Bryan was 19 in that picture and I was 21. I was also two months pregnant with Saige. I never would of thought then that Bryan would choose to be his father. I'm am so thankful to God that even though we ( me & Jen) made choices that didn't benefit us at the time, God still prevailed to make sure that we would end up with the 'perfect' matches that He had picked out. I know that Bryan and I being together was divine (Same with Paul & Jeni). Bryan is my soulmate. It's been an honor to see him grow as a father and husband and even more of an honor to see him grow in the Lord. His excitement and dedication for Christ is so awesome. He leads our family as a man ought too. He's an excellent father who unconditonally loves all three of his sons. They have such a role model in him. He's a wonderful husband, he makes me laugh until my sides hurt and tears are coming out of my eyes. He is strong and I feel safe with him. He's a very hardworker, most of the time. lol He desires to be the man that God wants him to be. He can also be quite romantic. Every year I get some surprise, either on my birthday, anniversary, Mother's day, or Valentines Day. Whether it be a candle light dinner in the woods by a pond, hotel room filled with rose petals and candles, candle light dinner at home, (boy there sure are a lot of candles*lol), taking me on an excursion to a winery, a scavenger hunt which led me to getting a facial and lots of chocolate, and even a spa day. Not to mention all the things he does to help me with the kids. He can work a twelve hour day and still find time to help the kids with their homework and read to them. Not a day has gone by during our marriage that he hasn't called me from work, just wanting to know how I'm doing. He usually doesn't leave the house with out giving me a kiss. Wow!!! I have such a wonderful husband. How blessed I am!! It's been ten years.....I can't wait to see what it's like after twenty!!! lol

On to the pictures....I know that it looks cruel but we (Jen & I) use to put panty hose on Cody's ( Jen's dog) head. It was hilarious to see him try to take it off. He looked like a seal. Personally I thinked he liked it. lol Also, don't make fun of my 'scrapbooking'. These are pages that were done ages ago and I'm still trying to update all of my photo albums, I haven't gotten to this one yet. lol Memories.....I love them!!!
