10 years?!?!?! What?!?!

Happy Anniversary to Us!!!

On May 8th, Shane and I celebrated our 10 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY!!! WHAT?!?!? I cannot believe we have been married for 10 years! And what a 10 years it has been......I am SO thankful that the Lord has blessed me with the most gracious, loving, caring, compassionate, and incredibly fun man in the entire universe! I would have never made it through these years without him by my side. He is a special gift from the Lord. I can't believe He gave him to me!

So, in honor of our anniversary, I wanted to post some fun pics from throughout the years. However, I could only go back so far b/c many of my pics were before the amazing era of digital cameras and I couldn't scan them because they are all packed away in storage at the moment. So, I had to use some I had on my computer.

The one above was the most romantic pic I could fine (haha). Oh, the days of take-over skits at Summer Beach Projects....fun times :)

The things one will do (or wear) for the sake of "ministry" . We could not be any "cooler"...seriously

This is a picture in honor of my "tan" years. Those are long gone since the girls arrived. Dang I was tan!! :)

These are our two "children", Zeke and Taco, that we had for the majority of our ten years. We thought it took alot to take care of them. We were mistaken :)

My 30th birthday. I was severely depressed b/c I was turning 30 (don't ask me why, I just was). The sweet students (thanks Georgie!) on summer beach project threw me a surprise birthday party along with tickets to see the American Idol tour. We were incredibly pumped as you can tell. We were totally obsessed with American Idol. We still are.

At the American Idol Tour. We acted like 13- year-olds. It was awesome!

This picture represents the zillion weddings we have had the privilege of being in. Shane has been in 49. I have been in 28.

This picture represents the 10 years of taking Christmas pics in front of someone else Christmas tree for our Christmas card. It was usually at whatever house we had the staff Christmas party at. Their Christmas trees were always so cool :)

Summer Beach Project. Shane has been on 15. Me, 12. The picture below says it all :)

This was at dinner shortly after we found out we were having twins! I was sick as a dog and couldn't eat anything, but I was ecstatic! We love you, Georgie! SO glad you were there to experience that day with us!

Shane is, ummmm, just a LITTLE paranoid when it comes to medical issues, health, really anything in that arena. He has gotten slightly better over our 10 years of marriage :) Here we are painting the nursery (with water based paint). He made me wear a mask of course.

This is just a couple of weeks before the girls were born. I love this picture.

For most of our 10 years of marriage, I never thought that I would get to have a picture of this....having our CHILDREN baptized. I'm SO incredibly thankful that God chose to give us a family. It was worth all the years of waiting and praying.

I love you, Shane! I pray for many, many, many more years together!!
