HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO US!!

15 years ago today, Steve and I met.  10 years ago today, Steve and I got married.  I was shocked when he proposed in January and I realized that the coming April 17th would be on a Saturday.  Talk about planning quickly!  3 months to put together a wedding.  Could you do it?  It wasn’t easy but I did it!!!  (yeah me!)  I did have amazing help.  My mother in law had the rehearsal dinner at her house.  A close friend of my mom’s did our photography, I just had to buy the film and develop it myself.  Our friend, Ed was our DJ.  My roommate from college, Lara, flew here from AZ with our tiered cake on dry ice.  We decorated it with editable flowers and each layer was totally different… Steve and I got the one bite in the beginning and all the rest was GONE!  My sister helped buy beer and wine.  We found a place in a local park and it didn’t cost much.  I know I’m forgetting who else helped us that day and I’m sorry.

I find that I love my husband just as much as I did 10 or even 15 years ago.  He’s the man of my dreams, the father of my beautiful children, and my very best friend.  I would be lost without him.  I look forward to the next 10 years and the next and the next!!

I love you, Stephen!
