On this day, 10 lovely years ago, I married my sweetheart.
Look how young and cute and thin we were:
I remember that day perfectly. There had been forest fires for two weeks before our wedding. I was so worried that our outdoor pictures wouldn't turn out, but two days before our wedding, the rains came, and the smoke left. I was so relieved. And excited. You had finally proposed ;) and the day was finally here! I was so excited to be married for all eternity to someone so wonderful, gentle, honest, hard working, and loving. You were an instant father, so patient and kind. If I could pick one word to describe the last 10 years, it would be "beautiful". You have given me four more beautiful children. You have worked tirelessly (well, maybe you get a little tired -- but you keep going) to give us a beautiful life in a beautiful home. I get to stay home and watch our children grow because of you. Thank you. I love you. Here's to 10,000 more years!
