TEN

July 6th is my most favorite day of the year. Nope, not my birthday. It is our anniversary. And today is a super-special one because we are celebrating TEN years.

What a ride it has been. Filled with adventures, lots of trips, career changes, 4 moves, an illness, TWINS, a crazy beagle and a lot of laughs. I remember for many years after we got married, we kinda felt like we were 2 kids living in a grown up world. Playing house almost. In our first house, before we had enough furniture to fill the place, we would thrown a football or play volleyball in our living room for months. I had no idea how to cook when we got married and most of the tools B had were left over from my apartment in college. Things are certainly different now.

It was 112 degrees the day we got married. And Sacramento, a usually dry place, decided to throw in some humidity for the occasion. Now I knew Brian loved me, but he really proved it by wearing his black tuxedo in that kind of heat. I wore 4 inch heels and we danced and danced until we had to leave the reception to get to San Francisco in time for our early morning flight. My feet hurt for days! We had a beautiful wedding. A very, very beautiful wedding. But truth be told, my mom and dad planned the whole thing. I was living in another state finishing my last semester of college, student teaching and working. I just wanted to marry that big guy I fell in love with. Most of the details weren't too important at the time. It was a perfect day.

Tonight we are going out to dinner. I'll wear a dress and hold my husbands hand. And we will celebrate the first 10 married years.

Maui, I love you

Hawaii, specifically Maui was...perfect.

This is what we did--

There may have been (many) adult beverages consumed.

Sunset watching...

Exploring and/or getting lost on our daily hikes...

Pretending like we had no responsibilities in the world.

Pool time...

Dessert eating. Lots of desserts.

Zip-lining...

And this giant-swingy thing...

Apparently we were the first group to ever do this swing. On second thought, not too smart?!?

Lots of this...

Our SWEET ride the Aleo. Roll down windows and manual locks. We go big.

10 years went by in a blink.

Not many people can say they made their single best decision at 22 years old...

I did.

And for the record--

Brian did too.

Randomness

Brian + I booked our 10th anniversary trip this week. We will be married TEN YEARS in July. How did that happen???


We will be away from these turds for 5 nights. Six days and five nights. So far, in 25 months, I have been away from them for maybe 3 or 4 hours max.


Will I be sad to leave them? Without a doubt. My mom tells me it will be harder than I think... I don't think that is possible.


Here is what I know. These couple of years have been full. And busy. So freaking busy.


But sometimes the Mama + Daddy need a break. A time to put our focus completely on each other. Because I was a wife before a mama. And someday, long after our children are grown. It will be me + him. All alone again.


We think one of the best gifts we can give these turds is a strong us. Our parents did that, and we are grateful.


I'm pretty sure the beach will make it easier for me.


And B is my most favorite dude on the planet after all.


10 years!

Wow.
