This was the picture in our wedding invitationSo, coming this Friday (March 13) is Ben and mine 10 year anniversary. I can hardly believe that 10 years ago, we got married. On our 1 year anniversary, we were sealed for all time and eternity along with Keven, who was only 4 months old.
Well, you'd think that with it being the big 10 that we'd be doing something huge, right? WRONG!
There's a traveling event that happens once every 18 months or so around here called, "Time Out For Women", put on by Deseret Book. It features LDS speakers (mostly authors or professors) and an LDS musical artist. It is so uplifting to be with hundreds of other LDS women and be enlightened on womanhood in the church and in daily life. So, this year, it happened to fall on March 13 and 14. A 2-day event, which in the past has only been a one day event. I talked to Ben about attending and said that I would like to, but would just go on the 14th and he said to go the whole time since we couldn't really go do anything. Then, he told me that he had some scout training that's overnight which he wanted to attend the same night! So, for our 10th anniversary, we'll be at separate places. HAHA!
Our desire was to go back to Vegas in May, where we went on our honeymoon and haven't been back since. We had to wait a few months to go on our honeymoon because I had a new job and needed to earn leave. Unfortunately, with having to live with my parents to save money, that just didn't seem like a great idea to bring up to my parents. Also, we're still catching up and not able to save a whole lot yet!
We have dinner plans the next weekend and are looking forward to a nice evening out. Maybe we'll get to do something in 10 more years!

HAPPY EARLY ANNIVERSARY!!! I HOPE YOU 2 HAVE FUN WHATEVER YOU GUYS GET TO DO. MY HUBBY WASN'T HERE ON OUR 3 ANNIVERSARY LAST YEAR, SO WHEN HE GETS BACK WE GET A NIGHT OUT BY OURSELVES AND BELIEVE ME WE NEED IT. I THINK EVERY MARRIED COUPLE NEEDS ALONE TIME EVERY ONCE IN AWHILE AND WE DEFINITELY DON'T GET IT ENOUGH HAVING 5 GIRLS. I LOVE THAT PIC OF YOU AND YOUR HUBBY KISSING. DID YOU MAKE THAT?
Congratulations!!! John and I will hit #10 this September. We don't have anything special planned. We always said we would go to Hawaii on our 10 year but that definately won't happen. Maybe #15 :)
Well I'm glad that Nate and I celebrated for you then!
