10 years...

I can't believe that today is our 10 year anniversary!  It doesn't seem like 10 years, it seems like just yesterday...Brian no comment on that! :)  Lol.

 I remember waking up so nervous and excited...it was a beautiful morning, which later turned into a down pour, and then back to a beautiful night. 

I was surrounded by close friends and family all day.  What a blast it was...from hair appointments, to the "tail gate party" in the church parking lot, to it pouring down rain about 30 minutes before pictures...at that point I kind of freaked out.  The ceremony was wonderful, although it seems like such a blur, and the reception was so much fun.  We didn't want to leave we danced until the LAST possible moment.

Brian and I are so blessed...not only to have found the love we have, but to have 2 amazing girls, and the support and love from so many friends (especially the life long ones), family memebers, co-workers, etc.

I look forward to many, many, many more!
