10 Years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

10 years!!!!! It's hard to believe that 10 years ago today Tom and I got sealed together in the Mt. Timpanogas Temple.



This is my favorite picture.





We have gone through soooooo much in these 10 years . . .

* Moved 9 times - Provo/Orem area (3), Houston area (3), San Antonio area (3)
* Lived in 2 states - Utah and Texas
* Finished my Bachelor's in Elementary Education (1 year)
* Started Tom's education - undergrad (5 years) and dental school (4 years)
* Owned 7 vehicles - Nissan Sentra, Geo Prizm, Dodge Dakota, Kia Sportage, Toyota Sienna, Dodge Durango, Honda Shadow
* Had 4 kids - Shelby, Taylor, Payden, and Declan

There's also been lots of good times and, unfortunately, some hard times as well. Sometimes it feels like we've been together for a lifetime. In fact, life before Tom seems like forever ago.

Anyways, here's our family today . . .



Tom hates this picture, but we don't have any pictures together because it's always one or the other of us behind the camera.



3 cute girls - Shelby (6), Taylor (4), and Payden (2)



1 handsome little man - Declan (1 week)

I am very grateful for Tom in my life. I'm glad he "drug me to the altar," as he puts it. I love being with him, and I love doing things with him. There's no one else I'd rather be with. I love you Tom!!!!!!!!!!

How did you sneek this post in here? Happy Anniversary you guys!! You both look like babies in your wedding picts!!! I would say Tom definitely changed the most! Ahhhh, to be young, in better shape (at least for ME!!), and to have less responsibility would be nice some days:)

It's so amazing in marriage, how life is just day to day, but when you think backwards it's crazy how much has been accomplished isn't it?

I hope you were able to celebrate to some degree. Your family is beautiful and I am still on cloud nine about you guys having a boy!!

I didn't see this post until today... How did you sneak it in here?

Congratulations!!! That is so cool! It's really crazy to think about your life before your husband, and have it seem like it was so long ago, huh?!? Also remember life before kids... What did we do with all that time? And how do we still have time for everything after them. Neat how things work out huh?

So Nick and I were married about a month after you two... September 12, 1998. Pretty cool!
