I've been reminiscing lately about what the last decade has held for us: lots of laughter, love, and fun. Lots of growth and some heartache. The loss of some family & the birth of our 3 awesome kids. The purchase of our home - which has also brought fun & several headaches (ha!). Several job changes & a few layoffs. Transitioning from a 2 income home to me coming home full-time. Watching our siblings marry their spouses in the last few years. Making several wonderful friends that now count as family too.
Joel has exceeded all I thought I wanted in a husband and father. I truly value & respect the man he is. I don't take for granted what we've got & we work hard to maintain our relationship. As we celebrate the last 10 years I look forward to many more decades of the same. Happy Anniversary, Joel. I can honestly say I love you more now than I did the day we married.
Joel & I when we were first dating. I'm about 19 & he's about 22
On our wedding day - I'm 21 & he's 24
My favorite recent photo of us at a marriage conference last year.
