Celebrating 10 years of marriage.

We had the blessing of being able to take an anniversary trip to Mexico.  We had been planning and saving for a nice vacation...just the two of us.  It's hard to believe that we were actually able to do it...God is so good to us.  We had a wonderful time together.  I am thankful for my husband of 10 years...we are growing closer each year and I look forward to many more years with my best friend.

We both enjoyed some un-interrupted reading time

ahhh....

Going out to dinner.  Every night was a date night :)

We were in Mexico for 4 nights and spent 2 night at the front and back of our vacation with dear friends near the airport.  We had a wonderful time...but after 6 nights...I couldn't get back to my babies fast enough.  This is us just a few minutes after being back together.  I LOVE my family...what a blessing!  

The kids were able to have a vacation of their own with these two special people who they call Papa and Grandma :)  They went to a children's museum, the fair, and swam almost every day.  It was great to know that they were in good/loving hands and having a ball themselves!  

When we got back we were able to go out to dinner and see Papa off on his annual trip to go fishing in Canada.  

Our Wedding Day

This week the "Completing Him Challenge" is to remember the day that you were married, and share the story. What an appropriate time for us...as we were married exactly 7 years ago today. As it is on every June 21st, it was the first day of summer...and such a gorgeous day! It was 75 degrees and sunny and the day was perfect in every way. We had a simple wedding, but many told me that it was most fun wedding that they had ever been to. I'm thankful for all the people that pitched in to help make our day so special!
We took our pictures before the ceremony (I highly recommend this if you are reading this and not yet married). Seth met me in the sanctuary...we had a few moments together..which was so good for me...he definitely helped calm my nerves. Then we started taking pictures. The rest of the day just flew!
The only things that fell through the cracks were: I forgot to designate someone to be in charge of handing out corsages and pinning on boutineers...so when I should have been in the nursery waiting, I was out helping pass out flowers. And...the candles in the windows never got lit...that was it.

We had a lovely ceremony and the reception followed at the church. We had lots of cake and had an ice cream truck (not the kind that plays music coming down your street) outside where the guests could get soft serve ice cream. We had a fabulous day and will always look back on our day with great memories.

We honeymooned in Estes Park, Colorado. Both of us were so excited for a trip out west and had a wonderful time together in the mountains!

Looking forward to many more wonderful years together!!

An anniversary date night

Our anniversary actually fell on Fathers Day this year. With it being a Sunday, and Fathers Day, we decided to wait and celebrate our anniversary later in the week. On Friday night, we took Hannah to play with Cindy, and we headed off for some alone time...which was quite nice! We ate dinner at the Macaroni Grill (Seth said that it was the best "out to eat dinner ever") and then headed over to Paradise Park for a game of putt-putt. Seth beat me badly...but it was very fun anyway. I sure love spending time with my dear husband of 6 years.
