Happy 10th Anniversary!

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!
