Happy Anniversary


(1998)

Daniel and I were married ten years ago today. Most people know that I am not a mushy person and to write a post completely devoted to how much I love my overly-goofy husband just isn't going to happen. He knows how I feel about him and besides he can't even read my blog right now, the government blocks a lot of websites on their computers and he didn't bring one with him so he hasn't read for months.

Ten Years of Marriage simply by the numbers

Ten years=520 weeks

116 weeks pregnant. DD was 1 week early, Innie 3 weeks early.

3 children

65 weeks apart. That does not count missile alerts. When Dan was in the AF he was a missileer and his job required him to be at an alert facility for 24 hours. He would leave in the morning and come home the next late afternoon. He did that eight times a month for 2 years.

13 Addresses/only 2 we have owned

10 wards

6 states, although we lived in 2 states twice, 7 if you count the month we lived with my sister in KY while we were homeless

3 times we have been homeless for more than 2 weeks, every time we lived with family


(2002)

2 colleges

1 college degree

4 schools Innie has been to, he's in the third grade

3 schools DD has been to, she's in the first grade


(2004 )


2 weeks dating before Dan proposed

32 weeks (about) from meeting to getting married

5 cars

1 that we have bought and finished paying on

3 times we have read The Book of Mormon as a family. We started when Innie was a baby at just one column a night.

That was about all I could think of. Its kind of weird to see the last ten years of our life summed up that way. We've done and accomlished a lot in this past decade, imagine what we could do in the next one.

That was wonderful. Not too mushy yet just enough to touch the heart of one who misses you both and your family so much. Wish Dan could be there to celebrate. Wish we all could be there too.
Thanks for the tip about extra postage.
