10th Wedding Anniversary

Today Andrew and I celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary and I am so sad that he is out of town!  I cannot believe that ten years have past and that we have 3 beautiful children.  I am so thankful for Andrew and I love him more then I could ever put it words.  I thought I would share some of our wedding pictures for fun:

Daddy walking me up the isle.

Exchanging vows.

Our cake failure.  Andrew had very little opinion about what our wedding day would look like outside of our ceremony and our cake.  He had a very clear idea about what he wanted in our wedding cake (are you surprised!) and the caterer failed. It was suppose to be taller and tiered.

Off to our honeymoon!

Andrew this song is for you:

A few of my Favorite Things!

Two of my favorite things are marriage and reading.  I have been married almost 7 years to Andrew.  Actually, 7 years next month and we are going away for a week to celebrate, whoot whoot!  I have been reading voraciously much longer. I love reading.  Everything!  Right now I am reading "Under the Maui Moon", by Robin Jones Gunn.  I know it sounds like trashy romance novel.  But its not.  Its story about a women who goes to Maui after losing her job.   I absolutely loved a line in her book about marriage.  This is a paraphrase because its actually some dialogu.

Marriage is a covenant relationship. It's not just a promise you made to your spouse.  The promise your made to stay together was a promise you made to God as well.... And God dearly blesses those who keep their promises, even when their difficult.  He knows.  He hears.  He Cares.....And for those who cannot or will not stay, they is always grace.  Extravagant grace.....That too can be a deep blessing from God.
 "Under the Maui Moon", by Robin Jones Gunn.

Have have been and continue to be deeply blessed by the covenant realtionship ship I have in marriage with Andrew.  I am so thankful.
